GIRL WHO HAS UNIQUE PLAN FOR
AIDING EMPTY STOCKING FUND
Miss Loitip Leathers, who is forming a club of girl friends to raise money for the Christ
mas fund for the poor.
DON'T FORGET THESE DATES IN
THE EMPTY STOCKING CAMPAIGN
Here are the Rig Dates in the Empty Stocking Campaign,
nl the things to remember as Christmas draws rapidly nearer:
1. Tango Supper at the Hotel Wineeoff, at lOdK) o'clock next
Monday night, December 8. You just drop in after the show,
maybe; if a bit late for the supper, you'll be in good time for
the tangoing: and, anyway, you'll have a great. Dig time- and
yon’ll hit old Empty Stocking a resounding wallop, too. which
is one of the finest indoor sports in the world at this season of
the year.
2. Star matinee at tlie Atlanta Theater. Friday, December
12, at 2:30 o clock in the afternoon. Choice acts from the
Forsyth and movie bills: contributed numbers by Atlanta so
ciety folk: and, for the climax, the “big act" from “Fine
Feathers," at the Atlanta, with Robert Edeson. Wilton Laekaye,
Rose Cogldan, Lolita Robertson and Max Eigman in the star
roles. The biggest show of the year.
Dont’ forget Dolls.
Now, the Christmas Editor being
a mere man. probably has no right
to do thrs, but he is going to preach
a little sermon to the young girls of
Atlanta.
The object of the sermon, of course.
:n to get YOU to do something to
help along the Empty Stocking Fund,
nrough which The American and
Georgian hopes to brighten the lives
of hundreds of poor little Atlanta
boys and girls.
And the sermon is going to be pref
aced with the story of what one At
lanta girl—young and pretty and with
opportunity, of spending her time in
hundreds of ways more exciting than
working for little boys and girls she
doesn't know—is doing for the fund.
How She Is Helping Fund.
It came to the ears of the Christ
mas Editor, through devious ways,
'hat Miss Lottie Leathers, of No. 125
Washington street. was working
quietly but effectively for the Empty
Stocking Fund, and thither ihe
Christmas Editor hastened.
“Now’.' - he demanded, “tell us just
what you are doing for the fund and
how you are doing it?”
Miss leathers smiled.
“I didn’t want to tell just yet.” she
said, “because, you see, I havent got
all my plans laid yet. and I haven’t
raised any money. But I’m going to;
at least. I’m going to try the hardest
J know how. The Empty Stocking
Fund is the most splendid idea I’ve
ever heard of, and every girl in At
lanta ought to do something to help
it along. Maybe I won’t have any
success; but I’ll have the satisfaction
of knowing that I tried to do some
Yiny visit from San a
going to have
Claus."
And the sermon V
Well, just sit down and see if you
can’t get your own sermon out of this
story. And then go into the highways
and byways and preach it to your
friends. And while you're doing that
just remember what Dryden said:
“His prearhing much, hut more ins
practice, wrought.
A living sermon of the truths bto
taught.”
And for ; hose girls of Atlanta \r,io
have not the time or the inclination
to follow Miss Leathers’ example and
devote many of their leisure moments
to working for the Empty Stocking
Fund there is still something you can
do.
You can dress a doll.
Scores of Atlanta women a*r. doing
that now. and if YOU want to dr ss
a doll—jjust walk into the office of The
Georgian and American at No. 20 East
Alabama street and ask the Chris*-
mas Editor for one.
He’ll give it to you—and lie'll thank
you in behalf of the little girl who is
going to be made happy—by YOU
And— Don’t forget that there are
dolls to be dressed. Dolls are great
institutions, somewhat like children,
with whom they are so closely allied
Also (like children) they need to be
dressed before being paraded. You
can get the dollies, arrayed only in
their little store wrappers, at the of
fice of The Georgian, 20 East Ala
bama. street, or at the Wineeoff. or
at the Piedmont; or at the Ansley.
or the Majestic, or the Georgian Ter
race.
And also don’t forget the subserip-
ning imat the poor little boys additions That «ms the main thing, to
g.rls TAho aren’t to have any I Login with, and it continues to be th^
Christmas. Main Chance of about 3.000 little
Interesting Her Friends.
I'm trying to interest all my girl
friends in the idea, and we will form
a club and try to raise some money
for the fund. Maybe we can make
some things at home and sell them.
•>r maybe we can jog the memory of
"ur friends and induce them to give
something to the fund. We don't
eare whether we get any credit for .
rhe gifts we influence or not; if some i
one makes a donation to the fund be- Dr. Joseph Jacobs
ause of our efforts to interest them |
and then never says a word to us j
about it. we’ll be just as happy as
though the gift had first been turned !
over to us.

Jt is often compared to a church
organ or to an orchestra, says Mr. j
While, but in fact it combines the I
beauties of organ, band and orches- |
tra. These qualities are due largely j
to the idea of refinement that is back
of everything the hand does and to
the technical skill of Director Di Gi
rolamo and to his exhaustive knowl

pacity. He permits of no forcing of
tone arid guards his players from such
crimes as carefully as a fine vocal
teacher guards his singing pupils
from tonal loudness and vulgarity.

TAMPA. FLA., Dec. a.—Dr. W. K.
Kiner. former pastor of the lakeland
and Tampa First Methodist churches,
has been suspended by a committee of
inquiry and another committee will
probe his marital relations.
Dr. Piner has just returned from
California, where he went after his
marriage to Miss Julia -Brandon here
about eighteen months ago. This mar
riage took place just a few days after
his divorce rfom his first wife, who
was then in a. Kentucky sanitarium.
tV. T. Martin, a notary public, and
his law partner married them. Dr.
Finer practiced law six months after
giving up his last pastorate.
The .Methodist article of ordination
prescribes but one cause for divorce
in a minister's case, and that a very
grave one. Dr Piner alleged deser
tion when he secured his divorce here,
but it is hinted that he will go more
deeply inlo the matter when he ap
pears before the committee to secure
Ids church papers again. Presiding
Elder Thrower has not yet named the
committee, but soon will.
Suspended Minister
Admits Kissing Girl.
COLUMBIA, s. c\, Dev 5.—An
nouncing; that he would appeal his
case to the General Conference, the
Rev. H A. Nettles, the Methodist min
ister suspended for three months by
the South Carolina Conference in
Rock Hill, to-day gave out a state
ment in which he reviews his trial
and attacks his accusers. He was
charged with improper and ungentle-
irmnly approaches to a young woman
■ twins office in Spartanburg, who at
that time was his bookkeeper. The
< lergyman admits kissing- her on one
occasion, but denied that there was I
any immorality in the act. He is not
a married man.
The Rev. Mr. Nettles accuses the j
Rev A. .J Cauthen with having made
various efforts to oust him as editor]
