IDEAS MAKE GIFT
CONTEST SUCCESS
NEW YORK COTTON.
By MARY LEA DAVIS.
Now that the contest is practically
at an end—to-morrow will mark Its
i am satisfied that the object I
had in view when I started it has been
realised, 1 wanted to aid the mar
ried readers of The Georgian in deal
ing with that perplexing question.
What i« the best gift for s husband
or wife 0
Of course could have written out
lists of things to give, but that would
not have accomplished my purpose.
1 thought that if our readers could
have the benefit <»f the experience of
otliers who had solved the problem
to their own satisfac tion their ideas
surely would be of value
I em free to confess that I was not
prepared for the flood of letters which
my offer brought forth. I have been
simply overwhelmed with sugge.s
tions. I realized early that it would
be Impossible to print all the letters,
but I have tried to publish as many
as space would permit AH letters
received have been rear! and will he
considered.
Here are some that have come to
hand
A “CHEERFUL HOME.”
Miss Mary J,ea Davis:
f think a Christmas gift should
l»e one that would fill the home
with cheer throughout the year.
A pet bird or puppy or kitten
would do this. I am going to
make my wife a present of a pet
this season, probably a singing
canary bird. D. C. L.
A FOUNTAIN PEN.
Miss Mary I>ea Davis
The most appropriate gift for
a husband i?» simply what he
needs the most, he it wearing
apparel or anything else My
husband is a railway postal clerk
and writes a lot, and as his foun
tain pen is broken I shall re
place it with a new one for his
gift this year MRS P PL E.

A COOK BOOK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
In our national life we are con
fronted will tnree great prob
lems, viz., the high cost of living,
domestic disturbances resulting
in divorces to an alarming extent,
and extravagance. To remedy
these evils and create perfect
harmony in the homes, would
suggest as a suitable gift to
present your wife Christmas Day
would be a modern cook book.

SOMETHING FOR HOME.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
We have been married only
three rears and have just com
meneed to furnish a home of our
own, and have decided, between
ourselves, tDa 1 we will buy sonic
necessary article to give each
other for this home on Christ
inas MRS \

THE GREATEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
Just what present a husband
should give ills wife depends al
together upon circumstances. It
does not matter so much what
tiie gift is. if it Is tendered in the
right spirit and reflects past con
duct and future course A faded
rose, given with h cheery smile
and a loving kiss, would be more
appropriate than a diamond ring
offered as a peacemaker. A lov
ing word from a loyal husband is
calculated to bring more pleas
ure to a trusting wife than h
purse of gold from s rake, a scold
or an inebriate When a wife
has her husband's love and re
spect she Is already the possessor
of the greatest gift he can be
#»tow and any present within his
means, however inexpensive, will
give her pleasure, and is always
appropriate. H. M. S

A VACUUM CLEANER
Miss Mary I^ea Davis
Tli© most useful gift a bus
band can give his wife is some
thing she needs and wunts Ow
ing to circumstances, different
people need different things My
wife does all of her work. There
fore I am going to give her
something to make her work
lighter, and It will be a vacuum
cleaner Also a box of candy to
remind her of old times, and tell
her that she grows dearer to
me as the years roll by, for she
does. And a promise not to be
broken, that 1 am going to try to

WHAT HE NEEDS
M ; ss M ary I .ea Davis
What a wife shall give a hus
band depends upon the income.
Men like to buy their own things
generally. A duplicating letter
book with a dozen stamped en
velope is a good present, or a
porketknift or fountain pen
whatever he needs most, but she
must not expect a costly present
in return so he will not dread
what should be the happiest time
of the year. MRS. L. E.
Atlanta, Ga
# FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis.
The best thing to give to your
husband Christmas morning is to
tell him to sleep until he feels
like getting up, give him a good
breakfast, hand him a box of ci
gars and tell him you wish him
a Merry Christmas and as many
more as the good Lord will grant
him MRS L. M K
Kirkwood. Ga.
CLEAR OF ALL DEBT
Miss Mary Lea Davix:
The most appreciated gift from
a wife to her husband would be
a clean expense account for 1913
Anti if she can not do that, give
him a promise to help him get
« lear of all debt and let him
know how much help she is to
him.
A saving wife is a godsend to
her husband MRS K V S.
Atlanta. Ga.
CONSIDERATION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christmas comes but once a
year and I hope and pray it will
bring good cheer, and if I can
bring it I will do so by telling
wifey I will get up with the kid
dies Christmas morning and for
her not to worry and take a good
rest, as I know she. will be tired
enough before night, after seeing
f to dinner and supper. T. J. K.
Kirkwood. Ga.
HER SUGGESTION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I would suggest that to take
one’s husband out to dine with
his mother on the farm and be
a good and appreciative listener
to his after-dinner remarks and
suggestions would be a gift of
thoughtfulness any husband
would consider more precious
than a diamond pin with plati
num setting for a Christmas
gift. MRS. W. G. B.
