a. he’s
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 Claus to the homes of the poor
little boys and girls 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
[j There will be nobody at the door to
|| lake up a ticket, and there will be
nobody there to charge you a dime for
a reserved seat.
Ushers will be there to show you to
the host 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 McConville, 12 years
old, who does things with the cor
net that stamp him ax 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. And then
there'll be E. (\ Barber and Fred
Wedemeyer and Jake Matthiessen, At
lanta's most famous band leaders.
They'll have musicians with them
from the American Federation of La
bor. which accepted tin- invitation to
play for the poor kiddies of Atlanta
so quickly they’ll always have a soft
spot In the heart of the Christmas J
Editor.
And that’s not one-third of the
list, but* the others are Just as good.
So you can see that it is a dead
open and shut proposition that this
concert is going to be the best en
tertainment that the Christmas Edi
tor has yet arranged
And a word must be said for the
boys who are responding most loy
ally to the appeal of tin* "Good Fel
low” in Monday’s Georgian, who ask
ed that all tiie boys break away from
the club stuff for one day and send
the money they’ll save to the Christ
inas Fund. The "Good Fellow" was
talking to the men who make fairly
S good and really good salaries, but who
are stranded in Atlanta without any
! home tics and with no place to find
the congeniality man desires except at
tlie clubs and around the hotel lob
bies.

Editor wherUhe got down to work.
"Here’s mine," he wrote "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 crooning over a
doll—and 1 bought it.”
It's Fine for That Grouch.
Now, there are without doubt hun-
■ reds of men who are developing that
grouch the greatest grouch of them
all that comes 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
laugther and love of the home.
And they probably will unless
they’re "Good Fellows.”
Being a good fellow is the best
recipe on the market right now for
lhat grouch. Hena your dollar to the
Christmas Editor and wake up
Christmas Day with Joy in your heart,
eat your hotel dinner or- hoarding
house dinner In peace and comfort,
and go to the show in the afternoon
and have a good time for you can
do it If you have the knowledge that

Incidentally, the Christmas Editor
asks all who ar© dressing dolls to
return them to The GeorgiSn office,
No. 20 East Alabama street, as soon
as 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 Christmas Editor will
be glad to let you have.

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 f<*r 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 I
fully appreciated the sacrifice such
a generous gift meant to him. I
determined to make it a bidding to
both of us. and next day I put it in
bank to draw interest. Having; a
bank aocount la an incentive to
save and I soon found myself mak
ing edge cuts to save tdckell 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 1 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.
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 hag.
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 I^ea Davis:
It should always be a hus
band’s desire to lighten his wife's
I heard a young mother
talking to her little son
about his teeth—tell
ing him howimportant
it is that the teeth be
kept dean.
A If you want to be a bip. strong
boy,” she said, “and then a big,
strong man, you 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 of Ribbon Dental Cream
and that this had helped her in
inducing him 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
twice a year,” she added, “I
have the dentist look him over."

labor, even as 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

FOR A WIFE.
Miss Mary i^ea Davis
According to my notion, the
gift for Christmas must convey
the Christmas spirit, and while it
may he utilitarian, yet I think it
sohuld convey that spirit, be some
thing that will gratify what the
giver knows to he an urgent long
ing, and in most cases 1 think
that this desire is for something
under the head of necessities.
So I try to find out what 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 expect to be able
to procure it for him.

A PAIR OF GLASSES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the oest present a wife
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.

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 be but a
unit to its intrinsic value and
use M. AND B.

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 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 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.
Giving lifts us out of self and
places us closer to our fellow.
Likewise, it is good to receive a
f ’ift and the response reaches out
ike ripples on placid w’ater and
touches other hearts with its bless-
