to the club-
before It Is
WOULD say h word
women of Atlanta
too late.
To the women who HAVE little
children, to those who have NEVER
known the exquisite joy of clinging
arms and the confident love of a
baby and those who have only the
MEMORY of roee-leaves and a little
white coffin to start their tears on
Christmas Day.
It is to these women that I would
bring my message.
There are hundreds of children in
Atlanta who will have no Christmas
pleasures. Children as confident, as
ignorant of the bitterness of life, and
with faith as strong as the ones at
your ow n fireeid
It is for these small people of
Poverty, of Fate, or whatever Force
that brings them to their unfortu
nate condition, that I plead.
The Georgian and The Sunday
American have generously offered to
fill the empty stockings of these chil
dren at your door, if you will co-op
erate with them. By a special ar
rangement of the management of
thes. two papers, the dollar you give
or the two dollar- or the five dollars
will he of the value of three to one,
in the purchase of clothing and toy*
and all the gifts that will go toward
brightening the child's Christmas
morning.
In pome of the years of your own
childhood there may have been
Christmas mornings when you may
have yearn d for something that you
did not receive, and in memory of
those unhappy Christmas mornings,
see if you can not make it bright for
some unhappy child. It may have
been that you DID have all the love
ly things that you desired, and if you
will think of how GOOD it is to be
glad, then see what you » an do to
ward making other hearts light. You
will not regret it.
LOLL! E BELLE WYLIE.

THE USE OF
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Never in the history of the develop
ment of social customs have Christ
mas Cards been so much used as they
are to-day.
The custom is almost universal and
is extending each year; a fact that is
natural when it is remembered that
this is the least expensive and most
delicate means of conveying our
share in the sum total of Christmas
happiness.
While ready-made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places, these are not so much in
demand now as those which are
specially engraved. Cards for "Christ
mas Greeting” should express one’s
individual taste in as great a degree
as a cordial personal greeting, and
this can only be accomplished
through the medium of a card en
graved in accordance with your own
taste in anangement and artistic ef
fect.
The most satisfactory results can
be obtained by consulting the J. P.
Stevens Engraving Co., 47 Whitehall
street, Atlanta, who will send sam
ples of the very latest styles send
to-day so that the work can be made
up for you In ample time.—Advt.
