sort of Christmas present a husband
should jrive his wife and the bes-t
gift for a wife to give to her husband
nave been received. Since 1 made
the announcement of m: ° r 1,0 & tVP
pieces of gold for heart answers to the
perplexing question, the married folk
readers of The Georgian and Hearst’s
Sunday American have deluged me
with letters.
Many of the letters contain ad
mirable ideas. I have no doubt
that the .suggestions have pr .ved of
real benefit to other readers who have
been cudgeling their brains over the j
gift problem.
Tf YOI’ haven’t written a letter on
the subject but would like to, be
sure to read the following offer, then |
aend in your suggestion:
To the wife who write* the beet
short letter telling what i* the
tnoHl useful gift for a husband, one
$10 gold piece
Three awards of $5 each irill
be given the wire* whose letters
are adjudged the neatt best.
Also. I will award the same
prize* to husband* who write brief
letters outlining the most appro
priate gift for a husband to give
his wife. For the husband's letter
that is adjudged the best the writer
trill receive a $10 gold piece. Hus
bands who write the three ne.rt best
letters trill receive, each, a $5 gold
piece for their thoroughness.

A CHEERY HOME
MIhs Mary Lea Davis:
Give him the brightest, hap
piest and cheeriest home and fire
side he has ever had, and all the
love and sympathy and courage
that you ran summon up. and
last, but not least, give him a
good Christmas dinner, with all
the good things he likes, and he
will not care whether he has a
money-bought present or not.
Mnxeys, Ga. MRS. B
IT ALL DEPENDS..
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
In selecting presents for vour
husband be governed by occupa
tion and circumstances. If he’s
a. practical man, confine presents
to useful things; If he’s fastidi
ous, a stickpin, tie clasp, ring
or something ornamental would
he an appropriate gift.
MRS. J. M. F.
BucTrhead, Ga.
HELP STOCKING FUND
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
For the wife with limited means
who make* a sacrifice (and so
many do) it is easily decided:
something husband really needs
Is the appropriate present. It is
not the gift, but the spirit In
which given, that counts most
after all. -J suggest thftt they

PACKAGE OF PAID BILLS.
Miss Mary I^ea Da via:
I can’t think of a gift more j
pleasing or one to add more to
the mental comfort of a husband
than to receive from his wife a
neat little package of paid bills,
tied with the never-ending ribbon
of her love, sealed with dally con
sideration and bearing the tag of
honor and respect, scented with
Christman dinner goodies. If
that doesn’t make him say,
"Merry Christmas'’ from his
heart, then —he’s no good! Yours
for a merry Christmas with my
bills, five babies and one hus
band, MRS. L. D
Atlanta. Ga.
A SMALL PRESENT.*
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think a week's complete rest
with the old folks at home, with
some small present—a silver
m«shbag, which will do to hold
the gold I shall get from The
Georgian -will he of more benefit
and more appreciated thar any
thing l can think of. R. K. C.

A SEALED PLEDGE
M'.as Mary I/ca Davis:
I think the most acceptable
Christmas present for a husband
to give his wife is a sealed pledge
to be a better husband to her
than ever before. G. W. H.

A GOOD DINNER.

My husband would enjoy a well
cooked Christmas dinner and a

LOVE AND SMILES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
1 am going to give my husband
a Bible and a Christian home ami
& family altar night and morn
ing and plenty of love and smiles.
I think that is the best present a
wife can give her husband.

BIBLE AND A KISS.
Misa Mary 1 *ea Davis:
T should think n Bible, present
ed with a kiss the most appre
ciated thing a noble man could
receive from hts wife. This would
make him realize she is inter
ested in his souths welfare—the
greatest and most precious thing
of this world and the next

WHAT SHE SAVES.
Miss Mary I^ea Davis:
I provide m\ wife’s Christmas
present thus: I turn over to her
all I make during the year. She
does all the buying and all the
paying. At Christmas time she
audits her accounts and all that
she has saved is her Christmas
present from me
Atlanta, Ga. C. W.
THE GIFT SHE WANTS.
Aliss Mary Lea Davis:
.The best gift a man can give
his wife is love above all things
and she will appreciate that more
than silver or gold or costly rai
ment, but you c an show your ap
preciation of her goodness the
past year by getting the gift that
she most desires and she will be
happy, be it < ver so small a gift.
The sentiment comes in right
giving and that, is through love.
BARNEY H.
HER SAVINGS FOR^HIM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think one of the best and most
useful gifts for a wife to give her
husband on Christmas is a pock-
etbook containing as much mon
ey as she can carefully save up.
This would be a dally reminder
to him of the giver, and he would
appreciate It for its usefulness
and the kind and unselfish mo
tive that prompted the gift.

It was stated at the Capitol Sat
urday that Leon S, Porter, of Rome,
has been appointed Deputy State
Commissioner of Insurance by Comp
troller General William A. Wright.
It is understood that Porter has
agreed to accept and will take over
the office on January 1, succeeding
John Copeland, resigned.
Porter is a first cousin of Charles
R. Porter, of Rome, founder and for
several years president of the State
Mutual Life. Leon Porter, the new
deputy, rerve i that company under C.
R. Porter's direction for about four
years, and was continued as acting
actuary after the reorganization of
the State Mutual last year. He is
looked upon as an astute and well-
informed insurance man.
There were several applicants for
this position, but Porter was named,
after a long conference Thursday
between General Wright and the new
appointee, in which president John
W. Maddox, of the State Mutual nife,
participated. It is understood that
Porter comes to Atlanta at a salary
sacrifice of more than a thousand dol
lars per annum. The Deputy Com-
misslonership pays $|>,000 per year,
and must be filled not necessarily by
an actuary, but by a man of "actu
arial” experience.
