"I drank about half a glass, guess it was drugged or something because I felt drowsy for a while and my head began -hurting.

That’s the big thing, after all—that spirit of DOING SOMETHING for those who can not do anything f >r themselves, and that is the spirit that is going to make Yvette and Robert Edeson and Forrest Adair and all tne others put a vim and go into their work that will make it better than anything they’ve ever done. And they’ve made a lot of sacrifices to go to the Atlanta Theater either aft playhouses—and « o their afternoon’s work all over again—just because there are a lot of little, kiddies In Atlanta who want old Santto Claus to visit them. If the Christmas Editor had to pay these people their salaries they'd ordinarily get for the after noon's work, he’, throw up his hands and quit it would take more than the entire fund ever v ill amount to. But they're doing it all for noth ing! Do you think for a moment that if anyone had walked up to Mr. Ellery, or Mr. Lackaye. and asked him to do his afternoon’s work over again Just because somebody wanted to put on a show that he would have done it? Not in a million years around the heart—they volunteered so quickly and enthusiastically that the show was planned in about fif teen minutes. For they knew that they would get more than the thanks of the Christ inas Editor. ki.uuKv c*i*.«l* They knew that they would get r before their acts at the other 1 something they could get in no other way—the knowledge that they had DONE SOMETHING to keep some little boy or girl from facing the ter rible tragedy of the empty stocking; I that they would awake Christmas morning with a warm glow in their hearts, and the happy thought that j through them some child clasped a I toy or doll to its breast and breathed i prayer of thanksgiving to old Santa | Claus. And that knowledge and that feci- ; ing are worth more than all the j money in the world! So is it not decidedly up to YOU to get your ticket and take your place jin the ranks of those who are doing I something for Atlanta kiddies? And even with that idea out of thi j way the show is worth while. You know, without any unnecessary elah w ticket you didn’t get and mail It to the Christmas Editor of The Geor gian or Sunday American, and ask him to put it in the Empty Stocking Fund. Then you’ll be doing something, even though you’ll have missed the joy of the show. Certain They Would Be Repaid.
