sion on an Atlanta woman that she
has organized an Anti-Scandal Club,
with a most commendable motto: "1
and my household solemnly pladge to
speak only good we hear about peo
ple. If we can speak no good we will
speak no evil." The Anti-Scandal Club
may thrive, but it is such an inno
vation in women's clubs that all the
Atlanta citizens have not invested an
abundance of confidence in it yet.

prising that Anna Nilsson should re
ceive attentions from a daring British

his most recent song hit. "Our Coun
try, Flag and King" is the song, and
he urges her to accept It, saying that
it has been accepted by Queen Alex-
ander. King George Sir John French'
and the late Lord Roberts. Altiiougn
it was -a condescension. Miss Nilsson -accepted
the gift.
