GIRLS VERY MODEST
LEEDS, June 2. A boy will play Lady Godiva at the Leeds community carnival on Saturday because all the girls of Yorkshire are too modest. The boy will wear a wig to provide the long hair that was the only garment for the original Godiva, who ac cording to tradition rode through the streets of Coventry to enforce her plea for remission of tolls that worked hardship on the peasantry. He agreed “reluctantly,” the carnival committee said, when no girl would play the part.
