ATLANTA-The vario1s sciences

with the years.
Mrs. Agnes Conkin has found the
ultra-modern mode of resisting temp
tation. She has entered suit against

filed in superior court Thursday by
Mrs. Conkin against Mrs. c. K. Hook
err, neighbor, who, the plaintiff
charges, sought to lead her away
from her husband along the scarlet

Mrs. Hooker, the alleged tempter,
drew glowing accounts of the merry

her into life of immortality.
