He referred t?> some ? ' our modern

and said that they wore S5 hose

' .trotten what Mother E\v discov
vtd when she partook of the forbidfruit.
and su purest ed that it was
time to "pass the apples attain." We
are not defending: the worst of our
l modern jrirls. hut we are not quite
convinced that because a iriri wears
her hair bobbed and because she ini
sists upon more freedom and sanita
