The concert, netted $236.40 for the Empty Stocking fund, which will go a long way toward giving the mothers a real Christmas—for this addition to the funds means that every poor mother on the Christmas editor’s list will receive a new $£ bill, and perhaps even a little more.

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 every-day folks. There were children by the score, I every one with a penny or a nickel ■ clasped tightly in a chubby hand, wait ’ ‘ ing eagerly, until the time to fill the stockings should arrive. There were “good fellows” in stag parties, newly weds pairing off in a comer, whole fam ilies with 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 they enjoyed every 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. The musicians of three organizations were there —Matthlessen’s, Wedemeyer’s, the Fifth regiment—with the three conduc tors taking turns at leading. uvery Number Applauded. A Chinese funeral, which could not be managed without a brass band, took away several of the musicians expected, but the music lost little by that, for plenty were left. Every leader was cheered as he ascended the stand, every number applauded as it was concluded.

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 i first soloist. An awkward bit of stage ; wait seemed to frighten her a moment. 1 but she recovered herself quickly and ■ sang a beautiful number sweetly and I confidently. It is rarely that a young ■ singer 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 the obligato delightfully The two professional numbers, both offered by the Montgomery theater, I made great hits. The Great Dayton, a singer who is not only a “freak.” but an artist, kept the audience laughing and wondering for fifteen minutes while he ranged from basso to tenor and fal setto. His closing number, a medley using all four voices in rapid changes, was truly a surprising bit of work. The Singing Martins received an ova tion. The baritone, a giant whose voice is as big as his frame, opened with the r 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. t And one of the brightest bits of the afternoon was the short address by Reuben Arnold, the famous criminal i lawyer, who gave his afternoon to help coax the quarters for the poor children. 5 Colonel Arnold spoke first of the spirit ’i 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 ear nival of homicide, but with a spirit of love and good will. He bubbled over with humor at times, then turned quickly into pathos. And toward the close he made a short and 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. 1 There was hardly a person in the . house, from grandmother to baby, who r did not drop some coin in the stockings, s and they gave as though they enjoyed •' the giving. The fund had been open for a week, but this was the first Op- • ■ portunity for those who could spare • I only a dime or a few pennies to the • I cause. There were many pennies on the Substitute for Probationers Who Must Drink COOGLER BANS EGGNOG 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—one pint of hot water, followed by a capsule con . talning three grains of cayenne pep per. “I give the hot water first.” said Of ficer Coogler. “so the pepper will not stick to the lining of the 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- 1 ter and a capsule on request. 1 “I 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. < tfficer t'oogier has issued a final ; warning to the probationers to “hold tight” to their seats on the water wag on during the next w-ek.
