Most of the rich were motoring in their
limousines or enjoying the afternoon at
the club. There were some of them
scattered about in the house, rubbing
elbows against the Sunday suit of an
ironworker or a department store clerk,
but most of the audience were just
evert-day folks.
There were children by the score,
every one with a penny or a nickel
clasped tightly in a chubby hand, wait
ing eagerly until the time to till the
stockings should arrive. There were
"good fellows" in stag parties, newly
weds pairing off in a corner, whole fam
ilies, wit it everybody, from grandmother
to the newest, baby. You couldn’t have
rounded up a crowd of 2.400 persons

It was worth hearing and enjoying,

ed and enthusiastically applauded.
Miss Margherita Carter, a young At
lanta girl who recently was graduated
from the conservatory and is in her first
season of public appearance, was the
first soloist. An awkward bit of stage
wait seemed to frighten her a moment,
but she recovered herself quickly and
sang a beautiful number sweetly and
confidently. It is rarely that a young
singet faces so soon the ordeal of»an
audience so large as that of yesterday,
and Miss Carter’s success promises for
her an enviable future. Dr. Kurt Muel

And one of the brightest bits of the
afternoon was the short address by
Reuben Arnold, the famous criminal
lawyer, who gave his afternoon to help
coax the quarters for the poor children.
Colonel Arnold spoke first of the spirit
of Christmas and the growing tendency
of the South to observe it as the birth
day of Christ should be observed—not

nival of homicide but .vith .* spirit of
love and good will.

Substitute for Probatioi
COOGLER BA
Probation Officer Coogler has placed
the ban on the Christmas eggnog for
his army of probationers, but today de
clared that he’ll see to it that none of
them suffer for "a drink."
In order to make good on this prom
ise, Mr. Coogler has provided a supply
in the Christian Helpers league in De
catur street.
It's not real corn nor rye, of course,
but Mr. Coogler said it would take the
blue ribbon as a substitute—it pro
duces the exhilarating sensation of al
cohol without its bad aftermath of in
toxication.
The "drink" consists of- om- pint of
hot water, followed by i capsule con
taining three grains of <-..y.-un - pep
per.
"1 give the hot water first," said Of
ficer Coogler, “so t'ne pepper will not
stick to the lining of rhe stomach and
burn it. The capsule floats on the wa
ter until dissolved and the pepper
spreads out through the whole system.
Results are quick and satisfactory. The
’drinker' at once warms up and feels
bully. It has liquor beat all to pieces,
and I'm satisfied the probationers will
enjoy it.”
Mr. Coogler will furnish the hot wa
ter and a capsule on request.
"1 want all of my probationers who
feel that they really need a drink dur
ing Christmas to call on me," said the
officer with a smile.
Officer Coogler has issued :i final
warning to the probationers to "hold
tight” to their seats on the water wag
on during the next we>-k._
In the manner of a conductor warn
ing of the approach to a tunnel. Mr
Coogler said:
"Lookout, boj -. i*T*- passing

the wagon.”
This is Important advice to 161. of the
table when the stockings were emptied,
rattling against the quarters and halves
and nestling in the folds of dollar notes
but who knows but some of those cop
pers represented as great a gift as the
checks which came to tin fund through
the mail?
And those who gave may enjoy their
own Christmas morning all th* more
for feeling that some other home Is
being brightened by their gift. They
may feel, too. that every cent of their
