Show TIRED OF THE "OLD STUFF" olyandrian Queen Welcomed Import, ed Novel for the Reason That It Struck New Note. Hie queen of the Polyandrinn isles reHined lazily upon her throne of masculine mas-culine skill's. Her seven husbands had all gone a-hunting, and time lay heavily upon her hands. "Bring me a book !" she commanded, and seven virgins vir-gins ran off to do her bidding. The queen thumbed the pages of the seven native novels. "Bali!" she ejaculated after a time. "The same old stuff. Eight men pursuing pur-suing one woman. I'm tired of this eternal polygon business. Fetch me one of those racy, risque, imported novels where one man and one woman wom-an brave the world and his wives and dare to love each other despite our polyandrian conventionality. They're a little bit immoral, perhaps, but what a relief from the banality of our everyday ev-eryday existence." Philadelphia Ledger. |
