Humorist Sets Up Monument to Eve, “A Distant Relative on Mother’s Side” By the Associated Press. GREENVILLE, S. C., December 19. —Robert Quillen, the paragrapher and humorist, has erected & monument in the front yard of his home at Foun- tain Inn, near here, to Eve, the first woman. The monument, which Mr. Quillen says s the first’ that mankind has crected to its first woman after estimated 6,000 years of history, carved by a local marble cutter and placed on the Quillen lawn only a few days ago. It bears this inscription: In memory of Lve, the first woman, To make the shaft harmonious in every respect, Mr. Quillen had a “nice. ly carved apple, with a twig and leaf,” placed below the inscription. But the neighbors “stared at the monument with incredulous horror,” says Mr. Quillen in the current issue of the Fountain Inn Tribune, his paper. “I'm sorry,” he adds. “I never hurt anvbody’s feelings or offended against anybody's pet superstitions. This is purely a family affalr. Eve was a fair and charming lady and deserved a finer monument than I have provided for her. It is almost Incredible that after over 6,000 years of history none of her kinsmen have erected a stone to her memory.” The author further explains that “Eve wus a distant relative of mine, on my mother's side”; that she was “the first lady of the land,” a “reizn- ing belle of her day,” and that the monunent “is an effort to atone for the unpardonable neglect of her by her posterit TRAFFIC ORDER ISSUED.
