T HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, DA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1013. 3 C M rs. iielen r. robin- sox, of Denver, who is the only woman Senator in 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.

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.

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. .
