Shocked Atlanta!

Atlanta, March &c. - If you love
scandal, don't read this. An At
lanta society bud who attended
the "Follies" last night was talk
ing in Mortified whispers to a
companion at a tango tea.
Would you believe it, in one
of the acts those girls came out
before the footIights with moth
ing on but their shoes and stock
and muffs!"
1t sounded perfectly awful and
she was soon surrounded by a
bevy of folks who hadn't been
there. Stories like that soon
spread, and presently to the great
scandal of Atlanta's morals, the
report was being spread broad
cast. AS the story went, it lost
the mutf, which made it sound
still worse.
The funny part of the story is
that it is true-but not in the
least bit scandalous. The muffs
were enormous big fluffy things
and the chorus girls had half
their bodies inside instead of
merely their hands. The cos.
tunes were daring enough, but
not in the least immoral.
