She has just written her memoirs, and, finding that no publisher could issue them before the spring, she has decided to publish them herself at her basement flat in Sloane Court, states our London correspondent. The volume also has the distinction of being the first book without a title to be recommended by the Book Society; for the authoress, realising how hopeless the quest for a novel title is, has given it none. The title page simply bears the words, "Book," by Lady Clodagh Anson. Facing the title page is a portrait of Lady Clodagh, which Mr. Simon Ehves, whose fees are usually high, has done free.
