Here are acme of the letters re
ceived :
A BANK ACCOUNT.
Mia.< Mary Lea Davis:
A few years after our marriage
my husband was called to New York
on special business and could not
be with me for the holidays. Christ
mas morning I received a special
delivery letter from him, contain
ing a cheek for $100 We were in
very moderate circumstances and I
fully appreciated the sacrifice such
a generous gift meant to him. I
determined to make it a blessing to
both of us. and next day I put it in
bank to draw interest. Having a
bank account is an Incentive to
save and I soon found myself mak
ing edge cuts to save nickels and
pennies, and added dolars every now
and then to my bank account My
husband gave me money on several
anniversaries of our marriage and
on my birthdays These were not
large amounts, but I hurried them
to bank. Five years later we moved
Into our own little home and It was
furnished with my bank account.
Furnishing our home this way gave
us such pleasure that to the couple
in moderate circumstances I ad
vise the gift of a hank book to wife
from the husband, even if It can
Onl> stand for a' small amount
“Large trees from little acorns
grow." MRS. N. H.

PEN AND PAPER.
Miss Mary I**a Davis.
I would suggest that a fountain
pen and a box of the very best sta
tlonerv would be a very suitable
Christmas present for hubby, also
on® that would be useful and a con
stant reminder of the giver.

labor, even is she endeavors to
make his home cheerful. A
vacuum cleaner of a good grade
would make the best Christmas
present Nowadays there are
vacuum cleaners on the market
which are of good construction,
yet reasonable in price
L. E. A.
FOR A WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
According to my notion, the
gift for Christmas must convey
the Christinas spirit, and while it
may be utilitarian, yet I think it
sohiild convey that spirit, be some
thing that will gratify what the
giver knows to be an urgent long-
SUPPLY OF LITHIA WATER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
One month’s supply of lithia
water w'ill he more appreciated
by him. as I do expect to be able
to procure it for him.
MRS. FRED H.
Atlanta, Ga.
A PAIR OF GLASSES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
I think the best present a xyife
could give her husband would he
love and best wishes and make
a vow on that holy day to keep
them. I also think a pair of
glasses would be nice for those
that need them.
MRS. J. B. S.
Barnesville, Ga.
A WATCH CHAIN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
We are going to give daddy a
watch chain for his Christmas,
made of an old gold chain inter
linked with our little girl’s curls,
the cost of which will he but a
unit to its intrinsic value and
use M AND B.
Atlanta, Ga.
A READING LAMP.
Miss Mary T>ea Davis:
I have solved my Christmas
problem by giving my husband
books fine of the most useful
and the one he enjoys every night
is a reading lamp. I could not
give him anything that he would
appreciate more.
Hoping this will help someone
as it has me, I remain,
MRS. B. W.
Palmetto, Ga.
SPIRIT OF THE GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christmas giving is both memo
rial and practical. Memorial of the
Great Gift which made the llrst
Christmas day one of joy and life,
and practical because it offers the
opportunity to give. Surely of ail
the graces giving is the greatest.
Giving lifts us out of self and
places us closer to our fellow.
Likewise, it is good to receive a
gift anil the response reaches out
like ripples on placid water and
touches other hearts with its bless
ings. For a wife from a husband
1 can see nothing so suitable to ex
press the sentiment or spirit of the
occasion as a gift Bible or Testa
inent, and likewise should the wife
give her husband the same dear
Book. It is not so much the gift,
however, as It Is the spirit of the
gift. G. L.
Tucker, Ga.
GIFTS OF LOVE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
We are apt to place entirely
too great an emphasis upon what
money will do at Christmas. Give
yourself, your love, the tender
touch that was hers in courting
days. (Jive love* gifts, encourage
ment. sympathy. Tell her she Is
all the world to you.
