cles, led by the favor
of local music lovers.
And YOr and You and ns many
YOr.S as there are in town- are in
vited to come and hear the finest con
cert ever given in Atlanta. Most of
the musicians will be Atlanta prod
ucts, which in tself is guarantee
enough, for an Atlanta musician is
like everything else in Atlanta— he’s
the best there i*
And alt bough the concert is for
the benefit of the Empty Htocking
Fund and something may turn up
that will add a few dollars to the
money that is being raised to bring
Santa Glaus to the homes of the poor
little ho yes and girla of Atlanta the
main 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 to charge you a dime fur
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 Mct'onville, 12 years
old, who dues things with the cor
net that stamp him as one of Un-
coming musicians of the country, will
play anything from grand opera to
ragtime And the way that little boy
'•an play those old favorites like
“Cornin’ Through the Rye" and "Auld
Uang .Syne” with all the triple trim
mings well, you'll have to hear him
to know how he does it. And then
there'll be *K C*. Barber and Fred
Wedemeyer and Jake Matthiessen. At
lanta's moat famous band leaders.
They’ll have musicians with them
from the American Federation of La
bor. which accepted the ipvitation to
play for the poor kiddies of Atlanta
so quickly they'll always have a soft
spot In the heart of the Christmas
Editor.
And that's not one third of the
list, hut the others are Just ns good.
So you can see that it Is a dead
open and shut proposition that this
concert is going to bo the best en
tertainment thnt the Christmas Edi
tor lias yet arranged
And a word must be said for the
hoys who are 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 in the men who make fairly
good and realiv good salaries, but who
are stranded in Atlanta without any
home ties and with no place to lind
the congeniality man desires except at
the clubs and around the hotel lob-
ble
“flood Fellow No. 2" appeared early
Tuesday morning His letter and hi*
dollar were awaiting the Christmas
Editor when he got down to work.
Here's mine," he w rote. “Now let
the other boys come along with theirs
I'm not going home for Christmas, but
I’m going to have a good Christmas
because some kid will be playing
around with a little red engine or
some little girl will be c rooning over a
doll and 1 bought it.”
It’s Fine for That Grouoh.
Novi, there are, without doubt hun-
<:!• s of men who are developing that
grouch—the great* st grouch of them
all that, cornea when they learn they
can not go home for Christmas. They
think they're going to have a bad
Christmas, with nothing but a hotel
dinner and a show' to make up for the
laugtlier and love of the home
And they probably will unless
they're “Good Fallows.”
Lein* a good fellow Is the best
reelpe on the market right now for
that grouch. Rend your dollar to the
Christmas Editor and wake up
Christmas Day with Joy in your heart,
< at your hotel dinner or boarding
house dinner in peace and comfort,
; i'i go to tlie show in the afternoon
and have a good time for you can
do It If you have the knowledge that
"U’ve helped some little boy or girl.
Incidentally, the Christm a s Editor
asks all who are dressing dolls to
return them to The Georgian office,
No. 20 East A'abama street, as soon
. ' they can. The dolls must be boxed
and prepared for distribution, and
there are only a few days left till
Christmas. And if you haven't dressed
a doll yea—there are still a few
more that the Chri # tma s Editor will
be glad to let you have.

By MARY LEA DAVIS.
All letters to be considered in this
contest must be irj my hands by
Thursday. None will be read after
that date. The names of those who
wrote “best" letters will be published
as soon as possible after Thursday.
For several days the men have been
writing to tell what they think is the
best Christmas present a husband can
give his wife. Some of the sugges
tions are very good. too. It would
seem that many of ths married men
readers of The Georgian have solved
the gift-giving problem to their own
satisfaction
Letters received from women read
ers In the last few days show that
the writers have been giving the sub
ject of present-giving serious thought.
They are answering the question
splendidly.
This was the offer I made;
To the wife who writes the best
short tetter telling what is the
most useful gift for a husband, one
$10 gold piece. t j
Three awards of $5 each will t
be given the icives whose, letters
are adjudged the next best.
Also, / will award the same j
prizes to husbands who write brief I
letters outlining the most appro- |
priate gift for a husband to give j
his wife. For the husband's letter
that is adjudged the best the writer
will receive a $10 gold piece, flus-
ban§H who irrife the three next best
letters will receive, each, a $5 gold
piece for their thorough ness.

A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A few years after our marriage
my husband was called to New' York
ori special business and could not
be with me for the holidays. Christ
inas morning I received a special
delivery jetter from him. contain
ing a check for $100 We were in
very moderate circumstances and f
fully appreciated the sacrifice Ruch
ft generous gift meant to him. T
determined to make it a bidding to
both of us. and next day I put it in
hank 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, blit 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 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 tnorn.

about his teeth—tell

it is that the teeth be
kept clean.

strong man. y ou must have good
teeth. And to keep your teeth
sound you must remember now,
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 him to form the im

she talked with him about it
now and then to impress on him
the great advantage to his

FOR A WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
According to my notion, the
gift for Christmas must convey
the Christmas spirit, and while it
may be utilitarian, yet/T think it
sohuld convey that spirit, be some
thing that will gratify what the
giver knows to be an urgent long
ing. ar.d in most cases T think
that this desire is for something
under the head of necessities
Bo I try to find out what It is
that my wife moat wants, and
come as near to getting that for
her as is possible

Miss Mary Lea Davis;
One month's supply of lithia
water will be more appreciated
by him, as I do expect to be able
to procure it for him.

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. 1 also think a pair of
glasses would be nice for those
that need them.

A READING* LAMP.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I have 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 w’ould
appreciate more.
