“if men of public spirit, of fore

AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present that
a wife can give her husband is
something to wear that he needs
at Christmas time, aid every
wife knows what he needs most
of all. For my husband’s Christ
mas present T am going to give
him an overcoat. T. J. U.

\
STOVE OR FURNITURE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
I suggest that a very nice and
useful present for a husband
would be a nice suite of furniture
or a good cook stove, as either one
could well be appreciated and
seen every day the year round.
Either would not be a very ex
pensive gift. H. E. H.

WILL EARN "HIS” GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christinas is the time of all
times to show*, by your gifts to
husband, that you are ever
thoughtful of his wishes and de
sires. Now, I intend to earn
by my own efforts the price of
the gift 1 shall give him, which, I
think, would he more appropriate
than if he had to pay for his own
gift. As my husband is a great
lover of a certain breed of chick
ens and has several nice hens, but
is unfortunate in not having the
male bird that he wants (and I
believe we should let circum
stances guide us in the selection
of gifts), 1 am going to give him
a fine male bird that will be “a
thing of beauty and a Joy for
ever,” and at the same time it
w’ill be a source of great pleas
ure and profit to him every day
in the year. MRS. B J.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HER YOUR "PAL”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best present a husband can
present his wife is to let her
share equally in the joys and sor
rows of her husband. Take her
into his confidence. Never go out
on a pleasure trip nor visit any
place where she can not go. Let
her be your partner in business:
let her know your exact financial
affairs; give her a reasonable

THE VERY THING.
Miss Mary I.ea Davis:
For my husland I have had
made a small picture of myself
and baby, and have put It In a
little gold locket that can be at
tached to his watch chain. My
husband travels, so when tired
out after a hard day’s work he
lias nothing but the bare com
forts of a hotel to greet him But
let him open his locket. Presto,
change! He is at home in his
lounging robe and slippers, play
ing with baby, while I read The
Georgian to him, spoiled boy that
he is!

A MORRIS CHAIR.
My Dear Miss Davis:
I would give my husband a
handsome Morris chair, a good
dinner and a good cigar for bodi
ly refreshment after a day of toll.
If it were possible, I would re
move everything that causes him
unhappiness or suspense: but,
above all, I would h ve him have
the Ik* s t gift”— the love and
peace of God to keep him at all
times. MRS. YV. E. D.
Cochran, Ga.
AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis: x
The most useful present for a
wife to give her husband is
something he really needs, be it
small or great. She should make
or save the money herself and
give according to her means. One
t’hristmas 1 gave a tie and some
handkerchiefs. This Christmas I
am going to give an overcoat.
MRS. G. W. J.

A WIFE’S IDEA.
Miss Mary lYea Davis:
The most perfect and appre
ciated gift, to my mind, that a
wife can give her husband on
Christmas morn Is to have the
home in perfect order, a place
for everything, and always keep
it there, well-cooked meals for
that day and a promise to have

A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The first Christmas after I was
married I gave my wife for a
Christmas present a savings ac
count bank book with a $10 de
posit. and, as 1 was working for a
salary, I asked Jaer to let’s re
member her Christmas present at
least once a month until we get
old or when she is left a widow,
and now, as it is our greatest as
set. I think she thinks of it and
appreciates it daily.
At other Christmases since I
have bought her several little
presents, but I don’t think she
could show you any of them ex
cept the first one, which she says
will be her bungalow Christmas
present some day. Fo I haven’t
decided yet what to give her this
Christmas, but as she is figuring
on the bungalow, I think I will
Just give her another fence on the
old present. J O. M.
Macon, Ga.
A SET OF FURS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A husband should ask his wife
to name over the tilings she
wishes Christmas. He can then
give her tlte one he can afford. I
gave my wife a sectional book
case last Christmas, as she had
been wanting one q. long time.
This Christmas I am going to
give her a set of furs that she
longs for. G. W. J.
Opelika, Ala.

bread, no more indigestion, no
more time lost looking for a new

purse, a rosy-cheeked wife, and
a husband filled with pride and
gratitude, whose peace of mind
over his savings of $1 per week
for 52 weeks completely trans
form him into a contented and
happy husband. MRS. M. G. (’.
Marietta, Ga.
SOMETHING TO SHOW.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most appropriate
thing to give a husband Is a heart
full of love, and get him some
thing within your means, yet
something that he will be proud
of and not ashamed to' show' his
friends or tell them about.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. C. H. L.
A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary I^ea Davis:
The best Christmas gift for my
husband is a dinner cooked by
my own hands, inviting less for

with us. MRS. F. C. L.
Atlanta, Ga.
THE “COMRADE HEART.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let husband and wives seek
their gifts from The Georgian's
advertising columns and they
“shall not err therein.” The “com
rade. heart” is, after all, the great
est gift in the world. C. B.
Talbotton, Ga.
CUFF BUTTONS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Cuff buttons are a nice pres
ent for a husband. They can be
had with red labels cut from
baking pow’der cans, or other
coupons. MRS. S. F.
College Park, Ga.
HER GIFT TO HIM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best suggestion for
my husband would be a year’s

icans in Mexico and business af
fairs. MRS. H. R.
