ITSfiEW WAYTO HELP E POCH HAPPY IIS TIIK ATLANTA ( IKORfilAN AND NEWS. 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. “Like most girls. I suppose. 1 never ! paid much attention to the appeals of i "T '"hristmas Editor until last night, ! \ V . Woods White, chairman of the, '-viien my little brother came over where l was reading the paper and Program committee of the Atlanta asked if it said anything about Santa Music Festival Association, says that aus.

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.
