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. ‘Wildcat’ Insurance Hit in $450,000 Suits i'h«* 138 policy-holders of the A merl in Life and Annuity Company are to h‘‘ “lied by Insurance Commissioner W.

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.

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. “Large trees from little acorns grow.’’ MRS. N. H. Union, S. C 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. Lancaster, S. C. MRS. L. H 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. W. T. P., JR. WU.de, Fla. 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. MRS. J. L. D. Columbus, Ga. A VACUUM CLEANER. Miss Mary Lea Davis: It should always be a hus band’s desire to lighten his wife's 1 heard a young mother talking to her little son about his teeth—tell ing him howimportant it is that the teeth be kept clean. *'lf you want to be a bip:, strong boy,” site said, “and then a big, 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 portant daily habit Of •curse, 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 twice a year.** she added. “I have the dentist look him over." Abu too should use COLGATE'S RIBBON DEtHBL CF.COM labor, even as she endeavors to make his home cheerful. A vacuum cleaner of a good grade would make the best Chrlst.mas 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 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 Atlanta, Ga. L. G. C. SUPPLY OF LITHIA WATER. 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. 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. 1 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 I>ea I>avis: 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 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. Hoping this will help sotheone as it has me, I remain, MRS. B. W. Palmetto, Ga SPIRIT OF THE GIFT. Miss Mary I>ea Davis: Christmas giving is both memo rial and practical. Memorial of the 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.
