The Autobiography of Methuselah

CHAPTER IV
13/13

I will merely close this chapter by quoting Eve's last remark on the subject.
"All I can say is," she observed, "that Adam makes a great mistake in objecting to woman's thinking so much about her clothes, for I can tell him that if she didn't think about her own clothes she would begin to think about his, and if that were to happen it wouldn't be long before all men in creation would be going about looking as if somebody had picked them off a Christmas tree.

In the matter of clothes woman is the court of last resort, and it is better for men that she should concentrate all her attention on herself!" Incidentally let me add that when someone once asked Eve if she hadn't often wished she had been a man, she replied: "Lord no! In that case there would have been two of us, and goodness knows one was enough!".
