A MAN’S IDEA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most appropriate gift a
husband could give his wife would
be to give her free access to his
pocketbook. with the promise
never to ask her to give an ac
count of the money she spends
Also a promise to vote for wom
an’s suffrage, A. 8. B.
Chauncey, Ga
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
In selecting a Christmas pres
ent. remember the recipient, not
the giver, should be pleased. If
husband likes to smoke, give him
a nice pipe, box of cigars, smok
ing Jacket, smoking set, or any
number of tilings that would de-
l.ght a smoker If he likes to
n ad, a good book <»r set of books,
i subs* rlption to Ins favorite
n r v izin* , or chat oiild be nicer
than a year'* ubs< ription to The
Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can" If you \ j*h to give him

people need different things. My

A WIFE’S DEVOTION.
M18s M a ry Lea Davi s:
it stands to reason that the
most appropriate gift for a wife
to make her husband Is that
which he most needs, and what
needs be more than a true wo
man? Then, give him YOITR-
HELF anew, unreservedly, now
and for all time—the best that is
in you—through thick and thin—
success or defeat through life
till death! Eliminate sophistry
and deceit, sickly sentimentality
and insincerity, and discover to
him the Jewels of true woman

A “CHEERFFUL HOME.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think a Christmas gift should
be one that would fill the home

canary bird. D. C. L.

power, and assure him of your
appreciation of him and hi j ef
forts. MRS. J. L. H.

a constant reader of it.) We are

A PIECE OF GOLD.

1 think a gold piece of money,
any amount, earned by the wife,

would be very u.-eful to some hus
bands and quite a help to the
family MRS. W T C.

”1 love you better to-day than
ever oefore. Next year 1 shall be
considerate of you every day. and
what is mine is yours and I feel
