sox, of Denver, who

the country.
Mary Lea Davis Explains Helpful Plan—Many
(fond Suggestions Already Have Been Be-
eeived—Letters Must Be In by December 18.
By MARY LEA DAVIS.
J UST to help the married folk readers of The Georgian and
Hearst’s Sunday American to solve the perplexing problem
of Christmas-present giving, 1 am offering gold pieces for best
suggestions as to what a wife should give her husband, and what a
husband should give his wife.
Here is the offer in detail:
To the wife who writes the best short letter telling what is
the most useful gift for a husband, one $10 gold piece.
Three awards of $5 each will be given the wives whose
letters are adjudged the next best.
Also, I will award the same prizes to husbands who write
brief letters outlining the most appropriate gift for a husband
to give his wife. To the husband’s letter that is adjudged
the best the writer will receive a $10 gold piece. Husbands
who write the three next best letters will receive, each, a $5
gold piece for their thoughtfulness.
Send your letters addressed to
MARY LEA DAVIS,
Editorial Department,
The Atlanta Georgian.
Already I have received many letters from husbands and
wives containing suggestions. Some of them are very good. I’d
like to see every married couple that reads. The Georgian and
Hearst’s Sunday American contribute a letter. The letters should
be short. It’s the idea that counts.
No letters will be considered after December 18, because I
wish to decide who are the successful contestants in plenty of time
to send them their gold pieces before Christmas Day.
Every Christmas I’m puzzled beyond measure over the prob
lem of gift giving and I know the readers of The Georgian and
Hearst’s Sunday American have had a sirr nr experience. It is
with a view to making the matter easy that I have offered these
gold pieces for best suggestions.
Gifts, to my mind, should be appropriate. Lots of inappro
priate presents are given every' year by husbands and wives. I
think, too, that considerable sentiment should enter into the matter
of giving between man and wife.
Read the letters which follow and see if some of them won’t
suggest, an idea that will enable you to decide what to give for
Christmas.

that R. C. Turner, city electrician,
unduly is persecuting the Cotton

In his petition for a special meet
ing Mr. Chambers sets forth the al
legation that the city electrician ar
bitrarily revoked the license of the
Cotton States Electrical Company,
and that when the board of control
overruled the action Mr. Turner be
gan a campaign of baiting the con
tracting concern and discriminating
against it in favor of other con
tractors.

tion into the city electrician’s mo
tive for the alleged discriminaMon be

FOR A PHYSICIAN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A man forgets he has received
a gift which is not seen or used
constantly. For my husband,
who is a professional man, I
have a new desk chair, which he
will use daily, a pennant of his
favorite lodge, a small but "high
powered” vest pocket flash light
and a leather collar bag. These,
with a box of cigars of his own
Miefl&on. will content him.

SUBSCRIPTION TO PAPER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I suggest as the most appro
priate Christmas gift for my
husband a year’s subscription to
The Georgian. He has been a
regular subscriber to the paper
since its first issue and his chief
pastime—one he seems to get the
most pleasure out of—is reading
the paper at night by our fire
side. MRS. J. A. A.
Lawrenceville, Ga.
A COMFORTABLE CHAIR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My husband works steadily
from early morning till evening,
and is very tired when he comes
home for the night. 'Nolhing
seems to rest him like a comfort
able chair and the daily paper
The Georgian preferred—90 I
shall give him a large chair in
which he can recline, a pair of
bedroom slippers and a year’s
subscription to The Georgian.
Valdosta, Ga. MRS. J. N. D.
A KITCHEN CABINET.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I have solved the Christmas
present prol>lefh to my satisfac
tion and that of my wife. I am
going to give he.r a kitchen cai)l-
„p t _one that is sanitary' and bu F
nroof. It will cause her to think
of the giver every time she uses
it as all articles for ordinary
cooking are within her reach
without taking any extra steps.

A WIFE'S SAVINGS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Husbands usually have to pay
for all the presents anyway and
I think a nice gift of a wife to
her husband would be money that
she had saved during the year. A
present of this kind would be ap
preciated for the sentiment it
contained, because husband would
know that she had denied herself
in order to have the gift ready
Christmas morning.
Atlanta, Ga. GLADYS F.
LOOKING AFTER HIM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let a wife look after her hus
band's clothing: sew the buttons
on, etc. That’s the best Christ
mas gift. MRS. H. R. W.
Montgomery. A Is.
WEARING APPAREL.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
We should give our husbands
something to show we think of
their comfort as well as a mere
Christmas token. Let the gift
be a book, wearing apparel or
jewelry that they can wear even'
day in the year.
MRS. BELLE J.
Birmingham, Ala.
A BIBLE FOR HIM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I will give my husband a Bible
for his Christmas and will in
duce him to read it. I don’t
think 1 could get him a more
suitable present.
MRS. EVA M. S.
La nett, Ala.
A VICTROLA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I would say that a handsome
Victrola would make a nice gift
for one’s husband, and a person
might search the world over and
not find a gift that would bring
so much pleasure to every mem
ber of the family.
West End. MRS. A. N. K.
VACUUM CLEANER.
.Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I am fully convinced that to a
woman who has to battle with
the problems of housekeeping a
husband could not make her a
more helpful and strength-pre
serving present than a vacuum
cleaner and sweopec~ combined.
. Tallapoosa, Ga, MRS. G. C.
A NEWSPAPER.
Miss Mary Leo Davis:
I think a year's subscription to
The Georgian and Hearst’s Sun
day American would be the most
useful present for a wife to give
a husband, as most men enjoy
reading the daily news.

Hundreds o! others ready
to join us-
That is the story in brief,
to date, of
Silver Lake
Estates
NCVCr has a business proposal
put before the people of
Atlanta,Georgia, and the South met
with more prompt or gratifying
response than our invitation to
join us in the purchase, develop
ment and sale of the Silver Lake
property.
We knew we had a splendid business proposition.
It needed only that others should find it out.
THEY HAVE FOUND IT OUT.
They came by the hundred to our SILVER LAKE
ESTATES display shown last week at 57 Peachtree
street. •
Many of them subscribed and signed up; many
others are ready and will complete their subscrip
tions this week.
Gathered from our exhibit we have the names
of 1,000 persons, every one of whom expressed
warm interest in our plans—
ENOUGH TO ESTABLISH SILVER LAKE
ESTATES TWICE OR THREE TIMES OVER!
Some of the best business men of Atlanta and
the South are with us.
One man came in from New York to join us; an
other came from Philadelphia, while still another
wrote from Pittsburg and is preparing to subscribe.
One man came to us from North Carolina, and
South Carolina is represented several times.
A Florida business man sent a personal repre
sentative to look into SILVER LAKE ESTATES;
that representative has advised him that it is good.
Middle Georgia sends in a $10,000 subscription,
and South Georgia has come forward with its du
plicate.
We might go on detailing incidents one after
another almost indefinitely, but the meat in the co-
coanut is that—
MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF THE $500,000
CAPITAL NEEDED FOR SILVER LAKE ES
TATES HAS BEEN TAKEN.
If you are interested and care to know the names
of the prominent business and professional men
