the prospect was good for an over
flow attendance.
“We'll do our beat to handle it,” he
said, and then, refilling to the sin
cerity of Mr. White’s ambition for the
movement, he added:
”1 really believe Mr. White would
expire from disappointment If this
thing should fall, but he needn’t wror-
ry we are not going to see any *ucb
•ad event happen.”
Following are some of the expres
sions heard at the pastors’ meeting.
What Pastors S«y.
Dr. E. R. Carter said: “My people’s
minds are so full of this project that
I can't get anything else done until
this is settled.”
“Our church is a unit on this prop
osition," said Dr. H. H. Proctor, “and
we are going to make that unit ft
big one”
“There’s a surging spirit in this
movement.” said the Rev. L. H. King.
“It must succeed. We are giving it
right of way over all else."
Dr. Farrel Insisted that it was hear
ing of the project a year ago that
made him want to come to Atlanta.
“Our folks will be there,” he prom
ised.
'We will have a huge delegation,”
added the Rev. E. H. Oliver.
It was announced by the Rev. P.
James Bryant that the Rev. Dr. Mo
ses, of Knoxville, would be at the Au
ditorium Sunday night. He also had
something to say about the Intense
interest with which the various con
gregations were watching the move
ment.
“All pastors who expect to remain
in Atlanta,” he suggested, "won’t dare
do less than bring their people to the
Auditorium Sunday night.’’
Institution Is Vit*l Need.
So far as the need for the Y. M C.
A. Is concerned, there is no doubt that
the negro churchmen of the city, and
most of the people, are wholly con
vinced that the institution Is the most
vital need of the negro i>eople of At
lanta just now’.
Keeps complexions
clear and healthy
W HEN you wash your face do you realize that it is
not enough to remove the dirt—that your skin
needs a soothing, healing influence to keep your com
plexion fresh and free from blemish?
^ Ordinary toilet soaps do not assert this influence.
Many of them contain free alkali which tends to dry
the skin and destroy its delicate texture. Even the
best of such soaps can only clean, they cannot beal and
protect the skin. Resinol Soap, besides being an abso
lutely pure toilet soap, contains the same soothing,
healing, antiseptic balsams as Resinol Ointment, the
value of which in the treatment of skin affections it
known throughout the medical profession.
«J That is why Resinol Soap does for the skin what cos
metics are supposed to do—it insures not only a clean
skin, but a healthy skin, and a fair, dear complexion.

By MARY LEA DAVIS,
Everybody seems to be Interested lb
thin question of gift giving between
husband and wife The letters ar-
just rolling in. I really feel sorry for
the office boy who brings 1n the mail
from the postoffice every day He
certainly has his two barn full!
Letters are coming to me from al!
over Georgia. And some of them con
tain Just splendid Ideas. To my mind,
one of the best ideas advanced in j
several days came this morning in an
unsigned communication. I'sually I
pay no attention to such letters, but
this one was so good that I am pun-
lishing It anyway, because I am sure
the suggestion it contains will he of
benefit to some of our readers. Wish
I knew who wrote it.
The other day a note of complain*
crept into my little talk. I wondered
why I was not receiving many letters
from the men. Well, they are re
sponding nobly now. Every mail
brings me letters from husbands who
have already decided what presen's
they are going to give their wives. I
like to hear from them.
Just to encourage others to write,
let me repeat my offer:
To the wife who writes thr best
short tetter letting what is the
most useful gift for a husband, one
$10 gold piece.
Three* awards of $0 each will
hr gievn thr wives whose letters
are adjudged the next best.
Also, J will award thr same
prize* to husbands 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
will receive a $t0 gold piece. Hus
bands who write thr three next best
letters will receive, each, a $0 gold
piece for their thoroughness.
Fend your letters addressed to
MARY LEA DAVIS,
Editorial Department, The At
lanta Georgian.
Here are letters which were re
ceived to-day:
WHAT HE NEEDS MOST.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful gift for a hus
band is something he needs most.
If he belongs to an order, a pin,
ring or other jewelry* with the
emblem of his order is nice.
MRS. S. R. D,
Covington, Ga.
PLENTY FOR HIM.
Miss Mary* Lea Davis:
I think a nice present for a hus
band would be a shaving set, a
good dinner on Christmas Day*
and Invite his friends and yours
also. Tell him you love him
more on that day than ever before
and hope as the years roll by
you will love him more and more.
Prepare him a good meal each
dav in the new year, 1914.
MRS. J. A. R.
Marietta, Ga.
SOMETHING USEFUL.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
As my husband is a poor man
and'works hard I think the most,
sensible present I could make him
would be some kind of useful
wearing apparel and a promise
of a lifelong love and devotion.
MRS. G. C. H.
Cowpens, S. C.
A HOLIDAY DINNER.
Miss Mary* Lea Davis
J think the most enjoyable and
appreciated Christmas gift for
husband would be a real nice
Christmas dinner and three nice
ly cooked meals a day the year
round and a happy’ home with
The Georgian to read on even
ings. MRS. M. L. W.
Kirkwood. Ga.
IN HIS STOCKINGS.
Miss Maty Lea Davis:
When my husband takes down
his stockings Christmas morning
they will be full to the top. There
will be apples, oranges, raisins,
nuts and some tilled cookies and
home-made candies, and right
down in the toe will be a beautiful
hand-knitted tie (four-in-hand
scarf) of white san silk. He will
show his appreciation bv a big old
hug and kiss. We have been
married 27 years. MRS. O. A. B.
Adairsville, Ga.
KEEP IT UP. OF COURSE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
If a husband has aiT apprecia
tive wife, he could please her
with some real money*, according
to his circumstances, supplement
ed by a kiss Christmas morning, a
cheerful disposition all the day,
and—why not keep it up until
the next Christmas?
L. A. W.
Chattanooga, Tenn.
HOW TO CHOOSE GIFT.
Miss Mary* Lea Davis:
Choose a gift for husband which
means love and some sacrifice of
time, or money, or thought, or
labor, which will give pleasure
and satisfaction. Cut the gar
ment to fit the cloth. A. J.
Buckhead, Ga.
A COAT RACK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think a coat rack covered
with ribbon would be an appro
priate gift for my husband
Rome. Ga. N. C.
MONEY FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary* Lea Davis:
The l>eet and most appreciated
gift from husband to wife, as T
view' it, is “as much money, cash,

can spare, and ©company it w*ith
any simple useful article the wife

THE PRIZE MONE v
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My husband says the thing h®
wants me to give him is the $10
gold piece you offer in Eli* con
test. Please do not let me dis
appoint him! MRS. D. G. D.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HIS PRESENT.
Miss'Mary l*>a Davis:
As I am not financially able to
give niv husband an expensive
Christmas present, and don't think
it quite right for me to purchase
and him to pay for his own present.
I will mention the very simple and
inexpensive tie ring and glove case
I have planned for him. For the tie
ring 1 used red ribbon and a small
embroidery hoop. I wrapped the
hoop, leaving a fluffy bow' on each
side and about 10 inches of ribbon
from one bow to the oth^r to hang
it by. For the glove case, I used
two shades of green velvet and a
piece of cardboard about 4 inches
wide and 10 inches long I cut the
velvet twice as wide as the card
board and sewed the two shades to
gether, slipping the cardboard be
tween the two plys of velvet, fold
ed the other side over and fastened
it with two hoys of ribbon, turned
the top corner back and tacked it.
making an opening at the top and
bottom, so the gloves can be easily
slipped in and out. These arc very
simple, hut I am sure he will be
glad to take the will for the deed.
MRS. S M
Marietta, Ga
HIS PROMISE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I shall give my wife on Christ
mas morning my prom I fie and assur
ance that I will not visft any clubs,
neither shall I drink a drop of in
toxicating drinks for three hundred
and sixtv-flve days Neither shall
I go out at night unless she be with
me, and 1 will devote my time look
ing to the welfare of my home, and
1 am sure she will be happy.
Rome, Ga. J. PT. H.
DON’T LET HIM PAY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Always give a husband something
useful. A nice box of shirts made
by yourself, with gold collar but
tons. cuff lyiks and tie holder,
makes a very useful gift. If you
care to you may add ties, collars
and socks, but men seldom like ties
a w’oman chooses Whatever It
may be, never let him have to set
tle the bill. J. K.
Buford, Ga.
CHEAP, BUT HAS THE SPIRIT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
This year 1 have made my hus
band a silk crazywork cushion and
head rest for his easy chair, an em
broidered tie. a tie holder and coat
hanger. The tie holder was an old
embroidery hoop and the coat hang
er was purchased for a few cents.
T covered them with pale blue rib
bon, shirred on. The total cost of
all in money was the princely sum
of 49 cents Tt is the spirit in w'hlch
you give anything that counts, not
the money value that makes it ap
preciated. MRS. J. A. S.
Gainesville, Ga.
HER IDEA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A gift is appreciated hv a hus
band when he knows that the giver
made the money by her own hands
by which it was purchased. If he
needs it. an easy chair is an ap
propriate gift, where he can rest
when his day s work is over, and
read a good daily paper like The
Georgian MRS. H. R. H.
Gainesville, Ga.
MOST USEFUL GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful gift a wife can
give her husband would be a year's
subscription to The Georgian, from
which, at the close of each day. he
can enjoy rest and diversion in
gaining the current news and all
the benefits therefrom by the pe
rusal of a clean and up-to-date pa
per which stands for high ideal and
right principles in all things. And
that is what I shall give my hus
band for a Christmas gift.

Pure Candy Good
Food, Experts Say
Good candy is good food for
children, according to demonstra
tors at the Child Welfare Show
Pure food laws and regulations
have evolved a healthful type of
''oloring for candies
All good manufacturers use this
type of coloring, which is certified
by the Department of Agriculture.
The go>3 manufacturers also are
working hard through their asso
ciation to complete the work of
wiping out the use of harmful coal
tar coloring products by un
scrupulous manufacturers
Their efforts, combined with the
effects of the law, have made col
ored candy practically as healthful
as white candy.

Quaint old negro melodies quavered
through the rooms and halls of the
old house at No. 198 Peachtree street
Saturday morning as the children
from the Gate City Free Kindergar
ten No. 1 stood and sapg and sang
to a doorway packed with interested
faces—-'white faces.
They sang some little hymns, fir?:
and then something to an old. old *
romantic air—“Believe me, if all those
endearing young charms ”
You know. Also “Fair Harvard"
and other memories in the air.
And they did sing it, those kids.
Something about the unerring swung
and rhythm, and the involuntary and
unctuous sympathy with the minor*
crept into the singing as it n«v*r
seems to dwell in that of white chil
dren.
And then they sang some regular
old-timers:
"The blood has signed my name,"
and “Mother's children will have \
hard time when mother is dead."
There was the real African swing
and sway and chant, and the odd lit
tle haunting minors on which at least
one great authority has said our tru*
American music will be based. If
American music ever attains a place
Jof its own.
The little heads swayed In perfect
time; the little brow*n faces were ear
nest and smiling at the same mo-
ment; and the piping voices rose ani
fell and negotiated passages of a sor
of natural syncopation that never
could be taught to children In whose
blood it wasn't jumping from gen
erations gone by.
Some of the real ragtime. ther->;
and some of the little sliding caden
zas found only in the older negro
melodies.
All through the building a area*
crowd of Atlanta’s negroes and schooi
children moved from room to room
and listened to able explanations of
the exhibits by negro teachers, and
made notes, and were quiet and at
tentive, and appeared generally to he
making the most of what they con
sidered a big and serious opportu
nity.
“It Is most gratifying, the way
these people absorb id**as, " Miss Bab
bitt said. “All Friday and to-day I
have constantly surprised myself, be
ing really touched by the interest
they show and by the numbers whn
come to see the exhibit. The colored
people of Atlanta ceTtainiy are doing
all they can to improve themselves
and their condition.”
