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. Atlanta, Ga 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.

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 \ Rome. Ga. 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.

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.
