DON’T FORGET THESE DATES IN
THE EMPTY STOCKING CAMPAIGN
lle'i-p arc tlie Big Dates in the Empty Stocking Campaign,
’ I tilings to remember as Christmas draws rapidly nearer';
1. Tango Supper at the Hotel YVi necoff, at 10:30 o’clock next
Monday night, December 8. Yon just drop in after the show,
maybe: it a bit late for the supper, you'll be in good time for
the tangoing; and, anyway, you’ll have a great, big time—and
yon II bit old Empty Stocking a resounding wallop, too. which
is one of the finest indoor sports in the world at this season of
the year.
-• Star matinee at 1lie Atlanta Theater, Friday. December
12, at 2:30 o clock in the afternoon. Choice acts from the
l orsyth and movie hills: contributed numbers by Atlanta so
ciety folk; and, for the climax, the “big act’’ from “Fine
Feathers," at the Atlanta, with Robert Edeson. Wilton Lackave,
Rose Coghlan, Lolita Robertson and Max Figman in the star
roles. The biggest show of the year.
Dont’ forget Dolls.
.Sow. the Christmas Editor being going to have any visit from San
« mere man, probaM\ has no right ’ Clans.'
to do this, but he ia going to preach
a little sermon ta tlie young girls of
Atlanta.
The objeot of the* sermon, of course,
is to get YOU to do something ,to
rvaip along the EJnrrpty Stocking Fund,
tlirough which The American and
Georgian hopes to brighten the lives
of hundreds of poor little Atlanta
r*ovs 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 bo the ears of the Christ
mas Editor, through devious ways,
lhat Miss Lottie Leathers, of No. 125
Washington street, was working
quietly but effectively for the Empty
Stocking Fund. and thither the
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 haven't 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
I know how. The Empty Stocking
Fund is the most splendid idea I’ve
*ver heard of, and every girl in At
lanta ought to do something to help _ _ , _ „
l along. Maybe I won’t have srny 1 or the Alajestic. or tlie Georgian Ter
And the sermon?
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: j
“His preaching much but more h:s
practice, wrought.
A living sermon of the truths he
ta-ught.”
And for ’ hose girls of Atlanta w.;o I
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 ai*£ doing
that now. and if YOU want to dr\ss
a doll—just walk into the office of The
Georgian and American at No. 2ft East
Alabama street and ask tile Chris*-
mas Editor for one.
He’ll give it to you—and he’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 he
dressed before being paraded. You
can get the dollies, arrayed only in
their little store wrappers, at the of
fice of The Georgian, 2ft East Ala
bama, street, or at the Winee-off. or
at the Piedmont, or at the Ansley,
success; but I’ll have the satisfaction
of knowing that J tried to do some
thing f«r
girls
race.
And also don’t
forget (lie subscrip- !
the poor little boys and j tions. That was the main thing, to
p. wtTl. aren 1 have any j tegin with, and it continues to be the
" nr 5rrmas - j Main Chance of about 3.000 little
Interesting Her Friends.
I'm trying to interest all mv 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,
or maybe we can jog the memory of
»ur friends and induce them to give
something to the fund. We don’t
are whether we< get any credit for
ihe gifts we influence or not; if some
one makes a donation to the fund be- I
cause of our efforts to interest them I
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. I never
paid much attention to the appeals of
• ho Christmas Editor until last nigh*,
when my little brother came over
where T was reading the paper and
asked if it said anything about Santa !
1 'laus. 1 read tho Christmas etory to
kirn, and then when he said he hoped
>anta would find the houses of the
poor little boys and girls T got to
ihinking how it would almost break
my heart if I knew that my little
brother couldn't have any Christmas.
And then I thought of the hundre is
of eirls whose little brothers and sis-
,<B rs won’t have any Christmas unless
•"■‘meone gives it to them and It
didn’t take very much of that sort of
’.hought to make mp realize that I
••ught to do something for the Emn*y
Stocking Fund.
Doing All She Can.

•tit I'm going to do what I can. a n
I think every girl in Atlanta would
't'Y to do something if she would only
Vink how she would feel If her own
little brothers and sisters were not
chaps who otherwise wouldn’t have
much of a look-in for the Christmas
joy business. Send your check to the
