TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. GIRL WHO HAS UNIQUE PLAN FOR [_ AIDING empty stocking fund ^Hss Lottie Leathers, who is forming a club of girl friends to raise money for the Christ mas fund for the poor. v ‘ DON'T FORGET THESE DATES IN THE EMPTY STOCKING CAMPAIGN Here are the Big Dates in the Empty Stocking Campaign, ; the things to remember as Christmas draw's rapidly nearer: 1. Tango Supper at the Hotel WinecofT, at 10:30 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, big time—and you'll hit old Empty Stocking a resounding wallop, too, which is one of the finest indoor sports in Ihe world at this season of j the year. 2. Star matinee at the 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- I'ciety folk; and, for the climax, the “big act” from “Fine | Feathers,” at the Atlanta, with Robert Edeson, Wilton Lackaye, Rose, Coghlan, Lolita Robertson and Max Figman in the star roles. The biggest show of the year. Dont’ forget Dolls. Now, the Christmas Editor being la mere man, probably has no right I to do this, but he is going to preach a little sermon to the young girls of | Atlanta The object of the sermon, of course, lie to get YOU to do something to [help along the Empty Stocking Fund, [through 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 \loesn’t know—is doing for the fund. How She Is Helping Fund. Lit came to the ears of the Christ- las Editor, through devious ways, hat Miss Lottie Leathers, of No. 125 fS'ashington street, was working juietly but effectively for the Empty Stocking Fund, and thither the [hristmas Editor hastened. “Now,” he demanded, “tell us just Lhat you are doing for the fund and fow you are doing it?” Miss Leathers smiled. "I didn’t want to tell just yet,” she laid, "because, you see, I haven't got kll my plans laid yet. and I haven’t raised any money. But I’m going to; ft least, I'm going to try the hardest 'know how. The Empty Stocking Fund is the most splendid idea I’ve fever 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 thing for the poor little boys and girls wh» aren’t going to have any Christmas. Interesting Her Friends. “I’m trying to interest all my girl friends in the idea, and we will form a club and try to rajse some money for the fund. Maybe we can make some things at home and sell them, or maybe we can jog the memory of our friends and induce them to give something to the fund. We don’t care whether we get any credit for the gifts we influence or not; if some one makes a donation to the fund be cause of our efforts to interest them and then never says a word to us about it, we’ll be just) as happy as though the gift had ffrst been turned over to us. “Like most girls, I suppose, I never paid much attention to the appeals of 'he Christmas Editor until last night, •rhen my little brother came over where I was reading the paper and •tsked if it said anything about Santa Claus. I read the Christmas story to him, and then when he said he hoped Santa would And the houses of the poor little boys and girls I got to thinking how' it would almost break mv heart If I knew that my little brother couldn't have any Christmas. "And then I thought of the hundreds of girts whose little brothers and sis- tem won’t have Rny Christmas unless someone gives it to them—and it didn’t take very much of that sort of thought to make me realise that I ought to do something for the Empty Stocking Fund. Doing All She Can. "I may not bp able to do much— but I’m going to do what I. can, ant I think every girl in Atlanta w-ouid try to do something if she would only think how she would feel If her own little brothers and sisters were not . going to have any visit from Santa ! Claus.” 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 w’hile you're doing that Just remember what Dryden said: “His preaching much, but more his practice, wrought, A living sermon of the truths he taught.” And for those girls of Atlanta wno 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 are doing that now, and if YOU want to dress a doll—Just walk into the office of The Georgian and American at No. 20 East Alabama street and ask the Christ 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 sd 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 Winecoff, or at the Piedmont, or at the Ansley, or the Majestic, or the Georgian Ter race. And also don’t forget the subscrip tions. That was the main thing, to begin with, and it continues to be the Main Chance of about 3,000 little 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 20 East Ala bama street and hand him the money. Time’s getting short now. Here are the new contributions to the Empty Stocking Fund: Thomas Egleston $10.00 A Friend 10.00 Dr. Joseph Jacobs 5.00 Ellery Band Noted For Beauty of Tone W. Woods White, chairman of the program committee of the Atlanta Music Festival Association, says that the Ellery Band, which will be heard here next week in a series of con certs, Is remarkable among all simi lar organizations in the world for Its beauty of tone. It Is often compared to a church organ or to an orchestra, says Mr. White, hut in fact It combines the beauties of organ, band and orches tra. These qualities are due largely to the Idea of refinement that Is back of everything the band does and to the technical skill of Director Di Gi rolamo and to his exhaustive knowl edge of every Instrument and Its ca pacity. He permits of no forcing of tone and guards his players from such crimes as carefully as a fine vocal teacher guards his singing pupils from tonal loudness and vulgarity. Odd Fellows Enjoy Successful Annual Home-Coming Feast Interesting addresses and a deli cious oyster supper featured the big “home-co^iing” celebration of the Odd Fellows, Barnes Lodge No. G5, Thursday evening. The celebration was in the Odd Fellows’ Hall, Ala bama and South Broad streets. W. H. Coleman, past grand master of Georgia, was one of the guests of honor and his talk on the growth of Barnes Lodge was appreciated. Grand Secretary T. H. also made an inter esting talk. Colonel Gordon F. Mitchell was toastmaster and kept things going at a lively rate, Htratten’s Orchestra played. Many of the “old guard” turned out for the big time, among them Andy P. Stewart, Judge P-<i- mund VV. Martin, Colonel James L. Mayson, Frank F, Smith, Colonel Gordon F. Mitchell, Dr. William T. Jones, J. T, Ketchem, A. L. HolbrooK, T, J, Buchanan, Wade P. Harding, C. J.
