The report of the subcommittee,

recommended that each State which

gates for each Congressional district,
whereas it shall be entitled to but
one if the Ref ublfcan vote falls below

What Is the heat Rift far a husband
or wife?
Of course. ! could have written out
lists of things to give, but that would
not have a- omplished my purpose.
T thought that If our readers could
) ivo the benefit of the experience of
others who had solved the problem
To their own Hntbfaction their ideas
surely would be of value.
I sin free to confess that I was not
prepared for the flood of letters which
mv offer brought forth I have been
simply overwhelmed with sugges
tion I realised early that It would
he impossible to print all the letters,
but I have tried to publish as many
si.- space w "dd permit All letters
received have been read and will be
considered.
Here are some that have come to
hand:
A “CHEERFUL HOME.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think a Christmas gift should
he 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 Lea Davis:
The most appropriate gift for
a husband is simply what he
needs the most, be it wearing
apparel or anything else Mv
husband Is a railway portal clerk
and writes a lot, and as his foun
tain pen is broken T shall re
place it with a new one for his
gift this year. MRS P. K K.

A CuOK BOOK.
Mi SB Mary Lea Davis:
In our national life we are con
fronted with three great prob
lems. viz., the high cost of living,
domestic disturbance*, 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 bean married only
>hree years and have just com
menced to furnish a home of our
own, and have decided, between
ourselves, that, we will buy some
nft' essary article to give each
other for this home on Christ
mas MRP. A.
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
the gift is. if it is tendered in the
right spirit and reflect* past con
duct and future course. A faded
rose, 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 fl wife
has her husband’s love and re
ft pert she la already the possessor
of the greatest gift he can be
stow and any presen} within bis
means, however inexpensive, will
give her pleasure, and is always
appropriate. H M. S

A VACUUM CLEANER.
Miss Mary I^ea Davis:
The most, useful gift a hus
band can give bis wife is some-
tiling she needs and wants. Ow
ing to circumstances, different
people need different things My
wife does all of her work. There
fore 1 am going to give her
something to make her work
lighter, and It will he 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 j» a good present, or a
poeketknift or fountain pen -
whatever he needs most, hut fthe
must not expect a costly present
In return ko he will not dread
what should he the happiest time
of the year. MRS L E
Atlanta, Ga
FOR A HUSBAND
Miss Mary Davis:
The best thing to give to your
husband Christmas morning is to
tell film to .sleep until he feels
like getting up. give him a good
breakfast, hand him a box of ci
gars and tell him you wlah 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
clear of all debt and let him
know how much help she is to
him.
A saving wife is a godsend to
her husband. MRS. E. V. S.
Atlanta, Ga ,
CONSIDERATION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis.
Christmas comes but once a
year and 1 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
to dinner and supper. T. J. K.
Kirkwood, Ga.
HER SUGGESTION.
Mis* M a ry I^ea Davl s:
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 os 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 I think that ifl &4 useful a gift
as I can give. MRS. P. C5. 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
M. W.
Atlanta, Oa
ANYTHING IN JEWELRY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
If the husband Is not sure of
some particular article which the
wife desires and is worried about
something to please her, any
thing in jewelry is appropriate
and is sure to please
E. H. W.
Atlanta, Ga.
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 tell him what
a good husbapd he lias been,
how I appreciate his loving deeds
and that I love him better now
than the day I became his bride.
That was 40 years ago.
MRS. S. B. K.
A DIAMOND FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
There is nothing money could
buy that would be more appro
priate and appreciated more high
ly than a pure white sparkling
diamond about 11-4 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.

FOR H18 COMFORT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My Christmas gift to my hus
band will be tw’o 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 w’ith It.
MRS. J. K.
Carrollton, Ga.
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 three of four
days of my time in and around
our home. I do this because T
have so little time to help her.
She buys anything she wants, so
my time is present enough for
her. J. J.
Quitman, Ga.
HER BEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best thing a wife can give
her husband is trust, love, hon
or and obey him.

DEVOTION.
Miss Mary Lea. Davis
The most appropriat gift a
wife can bestow on her husband
as they both journey' through
life is devotion, a care for her
husbands health, kind words,
neatnm In dress md - -><>king
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.
Not a spendthrift to squander
