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.

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. 1 may not. be able to do much — •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 Christmas Editor, care of The Geor gian: or walk around to 2ft East Ala bama street and hand him the money Time’s getting short now.
