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 more thoroughly representing compos ite Atlanta if you had engaged a pro fessor of sociology to pick it. And thei enjoyed tvery minute of the two hours. It was worth hearing and enjoying, too. It isn’t often that Atlanta hears a band of such size and excellence.

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 ler was at the piano, and David Love, an accomplished young violinist, play ed tiie obligato delightfully The two professional numbers, both offered by the Montgomery theater, made great, hits. The Great Dayton, a singer who is not only a "freak." but. an artist, kept tin- audience laughing and wondering for fifteen minutes while he ranged from basso to tenor ami fal setto. His closing number, a medlej using all four voices in rapid changes, was truli a surprising bit of work. The Singing Mat tins received an ova tion. The baritone, a giant whose voice is as big as his frame, opened with the famous old "Toreador,’’ and the sopra no joined him in several duos from fa vorite operas They promise to help make Christmas week a noteworthy one at the Montgomery 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 with an overflow of whisky and a .car nival of homicide but .vith .* spirit of love and good will. He bubble.; over .- th bmuor a times, then turned quickly into pathos. And toward the close he made a short ami simple appeal to every one to give as liberally as possible to the Empty Stock ing fund. Shower of Coin. Then the collection began. Stockings attached to metal handles were passed through the audience, from orchestra pit to topmost gallery, and it was well the stockings were strongly made, for they were growing heavy before their rounds were finished. There was hardly a person in the house, from grandmother to baby, who did not drop some, coin in the stockings, and they gave as though they enjoyed the giving.

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.
