And although the concert is for
the benefit of the Empty Stocking
Fund and something may turn up
that will add a few dollars to the
money that is being raised to bring
Santa ("labs to the homes of the poor
little boys and girls of Atlanta the
plain idea is that it will not cost you
a cent to come and hear the good
music and mingle with the crowds
Every seat in the house will be free.
There will be nobody at the door to
take up a ticket, and there will be
nobody there 1o charge you a dime for
a reserved seat.
Ushers will be there to show you to
the best seats in the house and the
doors will be open an hour before
the, performance starts and they will
not have anything to sell.
Young Leon McConvlIle, 12 years
old, who does things with the cor
net that stamp him as one of the
coming musicians of the. country, will
play anything from grand opera to
ragtime. And the way that little boy
can play those old favorites like
"Cornin’ Through the Rye" and "Auld
Lang Syne" with all the triple trim
mings well, you’ll have to hear him
to know how he does it. A nil then
there’ll be E. <\ Barber and Fred
Wedemeyer and .Fake MatthU ssen, At
lanta’s most famous band leaders.
They’ll have musicians with them
front the American Federation of La
bor, which accepted the invitation to
play for the poor kiddies of Atlantal
so quickly they'll always have a soft!
spot in the heart of the Christmas
Editor.
And that's not ore-third of the
list, hut the others are Just as good.
Ho you can see that it is a dead j
open and shut proposition that this
concert is going to be the best en
tertainment that the Christmas edi
tor has >et arranged.
And a word must he said for the
boys who arc responding most loy
ally to the appeal of the "Good Fel
low’’ in Monday’s Georgian, who ask
ed that all the boys break away from
the club stuff for one day and send
the money they’ll save to the Christ
mas Fund. The "Good Fellow” was
talking to the men who make fairly
good and really good salaries, but who
are stranded in Atlanta without any
home ties and with no place to find
the congeniality man desires except at
the clubs and around the hotel lob
bies

And they probably will unless

Incidentally, the Christmas Editor
asks all who are dressing dolls to
return them to The Georgian office,

and prepared for distribution, and
‘here are only a few days left till

I heard a young mother
talking to her little son
about his teeth—tell

it is that the teeth be
kept clean.

teeth. And to keep your teeth

while you are a little boy. to
brush them twice every day.”
The young mother told me
that the youngster liked the
taste ot Ribbon Dental Cream
and that this had helped her in
inducing hrm to form the im
portant daily habit. Of course,
she talked with him about it
now and then to impress on him
the great advantage to his
health and comfort that comes
with this daily care. “Then

Here are some of the letters re
ceived :
A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss 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 check for $100. We were in
very moderate circumstances and f
fully appreciated the sacrifice such
a generous gift meant to him. I
determined to maae it a blending to
both of us. and next day I put it in
bank to draw interest Having a
hank account is an incentive to
save and 1 soon found myself mak
ing edge cut* to MV« nickels and
pennies, and added dolars every now
and then to my bank account. Mv
husband gave me money on several
anniversaries of our marriage and
on my birthdays. These were not
large amounts, but I hurtried 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 bank book to wife
from the husband, even if it can
only stand for a small amount.

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

A HAND BAG.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
To my mind, one of the best
presents a man can give his wife
Christmas is a leather hand bag.
It will last indefinitely, remind
her of him every time she uses it,
and be always of service to her.

FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea. Davis:
A check, large or small, to pay
on the home, a card of pearl col
lar buttons, a silk tie. tucked
shirt, both the wife made, and
The Georgian to read on his re
turn home from work for a year,
all paid for with the wife's earn
ings during the year by doing
some light work, with a card
thanking him for his love and
care during the year, would be a
nice surprise Christmas present
for her husband, with happy lit
tle children, on Christmas morn.

A VACUUM CLEANER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
It should always be a hus
band’s desire to lighten his life’s
labor, even as she endeavors to
make his home cheerful. A
vacuum cleaner of a good grade
would make the best * hristma*

FOR A WIFE.
M i ss M a ry Lea Dav i s:
According to my notion, the
gift for Christmas must convey
the Christmas spirit, and while It
may be utilitarian, yet I think it
sohuld convey that spirit, be some
thing that will gratify what the
giver knows to be an urgent long
ing. and in most case* I think
that this desire is for something
under the head of necessities
Sn I try tO find OUt whgt It is
that my wife most wants, and
come as near to getting that for
her as is possible.

SUPPLY OF LITHIA WATER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
One month’s supply of lithia
water will be more appreciated
by him, as I do exi>ect 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 wife
could give her husband would be
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.

A READING LAMP.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I hav© solved my Christmas
problem by giving my husband
books. One 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,

SPIRIT OF THE GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christmas giving is botli memo
rial and practical. Memorial of tne
Great Gift which made the first
Christmas day one of joy and life,
and practical because It offers the
opportunity to give. Surely* of all
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
f Gft and the response reaches out
ike ripples on placid water and
touches other hearts with its bless
ings For a wife from a husband
I can see nothing so suitable to ex
press the sentiment or spirit of tbs
occasion as a gift Bible or Testa
ment, 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 thl
gift O. L

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. Give love gifts, encourage
ment, sympathy. Tell her she is
all the world to you.
