whereas it shall be entitled to but

A "CHEERFUL HOME."
Miss Mary Lea Davis;
I think a Christmas gift should
he one that would All 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 s singing
canary bird. D. C. L.
A FOUNTAIN PEN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most appropriate gift for
n husband is simply what he
needs the most, be 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. MRP. P. K. K.

A CuOK BOOK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
in our national life we are con
fronted with three gre%l prob
lems, viz, the high cost of living,
domestic disturbances, resulting
in divorces to an alarming extent,
and extravagant «• To remedy
these evils and create perfect
harmony in the homes, would
suggest as a suitable gift to
present your wife t'hristmas Day
would be a modern cook book.

80METHING FOR HOME.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
We have been married only
three years and have just com-
1 menced to furnish a home of our
own. and have decided, between
ourselves, that we will buy some
net cssary article to give each
other for this home on Christ
mas. MRS. A.

THE GREATEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Just what present a husband
should give his wife depends al
together upon circumstances. It
does not matter so much what
tne gift Is, if it is tendered in the
right spirit and reflects past con
duct and future course. A faded
r »se, given with a 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 a
purse of gold from a rake, a scold
or an inebriate. When a wife
lias her husband’s love and re
spect she is already the possessor
of the greatest gift he can be
stow and any present within his
means, however inexpensive, will
give her pleasure, and if* always
appropriate H. M. H

A VACUUM CLEANER
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful gift a hus
band can give his wife is some
thing she needs and wants. 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

WHAT HE NEEDS
Miss Mary Lea 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
pocketknift or fountain pen
whatever he needs most, but she
must not expect a costly present
in return so he will not dread
what shpuld be the happiest time
of the year. MRS. L. K.
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.

CLEAR OF ALL DEBT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most appreciated gift from
a wife to her husband would be
a. clean expense account for 1913
And if she can not do that, give
him a promise to help him get
blear 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.

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 l will get. up with the kid
dies Christmas morning and for
her not to worry and take a good
rest, ss 1 know she will be tired
enough before night, after seeing
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.
Union Point, Ga.
ALSO A BIBLE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let the wife give the husband
the assurance that he has a re
ligious, true, energetic, hygienic
wife who is well worthy of her
situation and a Bible as a light
to their pathway. C. B. C.
Atlanta, Ga.
A RAINCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I wish to present to my hus
band a nice raincoat and a pair
of overshoes and a nice umbrella,
as 1 Jhink that is as useful a gift
as T can give. MRS. P. C. H.
Atlanta, Ga.
KEEP DOWN EXPENSES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The gift that would be appre
ciated by the largest majority of
husbands would be for the wife
to restrain her Christmas enthu
siasm to such an extent that the
bills the first day of .January will
not give him heart failure.

A CHRISTMAS TURKEY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I can think of nothing my hus
band would appreciate more than
a nice turkey for Christmas din
ner and to have me tell him what
a good husband lie ha3 been,
how I apprec iate his loving deeds
and that i love him better now
than the day I became his bride.
That was 40 years ago.

A DIAMOND FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
There is nothing money could
buy that would he more appro
priate and appreciated more high
ly than a pure white sparkling
diamond about 1 1-4 carat. It is
a weakness of the female sex,
the love they have for the spar
kle of a bright "gem." A gift
of this kind will never deterior
ate from age, neither will it grow’
cold In her memory. It will al
ways carry a cash value and your
wife could at any time, should it
be necessary, realize cash money.
However, she would part with
any of her worldly possessions,
almost her husband, before she
would the diamond.

Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My Christmas gift to my hus
band will be two nice outing
nightshirts, one dozen linen hand
kerchiefs, half dozen ties and a
real good dinner of my own cook
ing. which he enjoys so much,
with plenty of love with it
MRS. J. K.

SOME OF HIS TIME.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
As my wife loves her flower
yard and puts all her spare time
in it and every thing to make her
home looke nice I know what will
please her for a present above
all gifts—about thTee of four
days of my time in and around
our home. I do this because I
have so little time to help her.
She buys anything she w f ant9, so
my time is present enough for
her. J. J.

HER BEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best thing a wife can give
her husband is trust, love, hon
or and obey him.

Miss Mary Lea Davis:
T think the best Christmas gift
for my husband would be to pay
his life insurance in advance for
one year with the money I have

This will be an appreciation, a
surprise and a help for him.

DEVOTION.
Miss Mary J^ea Davis:
The most appropriat gift a
w-ife can bestow on her husband
as they both Journey through
life is devotion, a care for her
husband's health, kind words,
neatness In dress and cooking
meals, not lazy, not caring if
school keeps or not A wife hav
ing such virtues, a husband would
mean indeed who would not ap
preciate such qualities in a wife.
