There are thousands of men in
Atlanta who will appreciate a
pair of Rich Slippers for Christ
mas.
Here’s something about Empty
Stockings, und it wasn’t written by
the Christmas Editor, either. The C.
K. wish** lie knew who did write it.
because he owes the writer a debt of
thanks—and so does the entire work
ing staff of the big Anti-Empty
Stocking Army in Atlanta.
Tills is the good word:
“The memory of the keen disap
pointment of mv little sister and my
self when we found our stockings
empty for the first time, in 1864—a
long time ago—Is keen enough after-
all these > ears to give your apponi on
behalf of the poor children of Atlanta
a special significance to me
“Our father was in the Army of
Northern Virginia thst Christmas. We
were on a plantation in Southern
Georgia, ami all communication had
buen cut off.
It Was s Tragedy.
‘ Mother told us it would be useless
for us to hang up our stockings that
Christmas Eve. 8anta Claus can’t
come this year,’ she said; and I can
remember the queer tug at my heart
when sire said It.
“But our childish faith in the mirac
ulous power of the old saint was such
that wo insisted on hanging up our
slocking^ as usual.
“I have never forgotten how we
felt when we strained our eyes to see
tHe contents of those stockings in the
dim dawn of that long-ago Christmas
Day—and found nothing! You call It
a tragedy, and you are right.
“I hope the inclosed contribution
will help to keep Home little one from
a similar experience—and I wish that
1 could tell everyone of that expe
rience of my sister and myself, for It
might help to recall similar memories
of those sad times “T.. T. P.“
Christmas Evsr th# 8*me.
No use commenting on that letter,
is there ’ Its appeal is direct and to
the heart, and with it comes the ca
ressing hint of lavender and old lace,
and a dim and haunting fragrance of
the past.
Chriatmas was then what Christ
mas is now. And always the children
are the same. Times change, and cus
toms other customs But Christmas
and childhood are with ua always. A
vew good book says the poor are, too
Maybe this is a good chance to take
care of the whole outfit at once.
Anyway, the Christmas Editor Is
netting ;i lot of hglp from people like
the writer of that letter, and then
there are n whole lot of various en
tertainment* to keep things moving.
Don’t forget these dates. They’re
Empty Stocking Fund engagements
for you.
