CHRISTMAS GIFT
CONTEST ENDED;
JUDGES AT WORK
By MARY LEA DAVIS.
Well, Thursday marks the end of
the Christmas gift suggestion con
test. No letters received after this
day will he considered. I hope to an
nounce the successful writers not
later than Saturday.
T have received hundreds upon hun
dreds of letters and I hare read every
one of them v 1th pleasure and Inter
est. Lack of space prevented the
publication of all received.
If the readers of The Georgian have
read the communications that were
printed 1 am sure they secured «
good many really excellent Ideas con
cerning the vexing problem of pres
ent selection.
The simple question which I pro
pounded at the outset was What Is
the best Christmas gift for a husband
to give his wife, and what Is the best
for a wife to give her husband
I was greatly interested In the wav
many of my readers answered the
question I fear that not a few had
rather broad Ideas concerning the
matter, and T am certain that if they
carry out their plans as outlined to
me in their letters husband (or wife,
as the ca*e rnav be) will have the
grandest Christmas ever experienced.
Here are some of the letters re
ceived :
FOR REAL COMFORT.
Mi sc Mary Lea Davis:
My husband's business requires
him to work very hard and stand

comfort and Christmas present.

A 10-POUND BOY.
Mias Mary I^ea Davis:
I think the most appreciated
and glorious Christmas gift
mv husband would be 0 fine ten-
pound bouncing baby boy. That
would be acceptable by us both.
MRS. R. A. H.
Newnan, Ga.
TOOTH BRU9H AND PASTE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Of all the many useful gifts
from a wife to a husband I would
suggest a nice tooth brush and
h tube of tooth paste. It Is not
only useful as to cleaning and
preserving the teeth, but purifies
the breath and adds to good
health. MRS. VV. H.
Atlanta, Ga.
SUIT OF CLOTHES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I should think that the most,
useful Christmas gift that s wife,
could give to her husband would
be a nice suit of clothes.

A BABY GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
To one I love—and love him

The best and useful gift—su
perb—
No price too great to make his
heart thrill—
Is a real, live, laughing baby
girl. MRS. S S
Marietta, Ga.
SECRET ORDER PIN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My suggestion for husband’s
Christmas gift would he a secret
order pin or ring suitable to the
wearer, of whatever order to
to home. But most of all I think
most men love* their lodges next
to come. But most of all I think
that good old-fashioned dinner,
with turkey and cranberry sauce,
with something to make him feel
younger, with nls wife and moth
er, would be better than any oth
er MRS N B. C. '
Southport, Fla.
A SHAVING MIRROR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Since It has been a long dis
puted question As to which Is the
mightiest, the pen or the sword, I
would suggest that a fountain pen
would be a very useful gift to a ,
husband, with this admonition
attached: When to write, to
whom and where, and last
of all to be very careful
about what he signs. Other use
ful gifts nre a shaving mirror
and a few shoe strings.
MRS M M.
Atlanta. Ga.
SHAVING OUTFIT.
Miss Mary I^ea Davis
A nice gift for my husband, and
one that will also be a good be
ginning in economy, would be a
shaving stand with mirror, mug
and brush, also a good razor.

PAID-UP SUBSCRIPTION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Every husband wants a paper
each day in the year. It is not
only a pleasure, but essential to
his existence. It Is a wife’s pleas- "
ure for her husband to read ele
vating literature. It follows that
the most appropriate gift to a
husband would be a paid-up sub
scription to The Georgian, ac
cording to her ability—for a year,
or, better still, for a lifetime.
Albany, Ga. MRS. E. K . JR
OVERCOAT AND GLOVES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:

A. F. Akins and Ed Brown, charged
with robbing B. L. Hill of tH on No
vember 27. ‘
The expectation that Bolloltor Dor
sey would take up the locker club sit
uation proved groundless. Mr. Hor
sey said he had no Intention at this
time of taking up the charges that a
number of dubs are violating the pro
hibition law. It Is regarded aft likely
that the charges will be laid before
the new Grand Jury which will be or
ganized the first of the year

Thursday afternoon about the society
vaudeville, • which was presented at
the Atlanta Theater Wednesday night
for the benefit of the Home for the
Blind. The entertainment set a mark
which future amateur shows will find
hard to surpass, every number being
finished and deserving of the enthu-
alaatlo applaue© It received.
There was perhaps no one number
on the bill that stood out pre-emi
nent—they were all good and greatly
enjoyed by the large audience. Hall

opened the bill, with a better opening
act than usually is seen at profes-
