J. Eiseman & Sons Co. One Whitehall Street The Daylight Corner’ “Co-op Club” of Southern Bell Makes Merry in Prettily Decorated Clubrooms. Tli© member* of the "Co-op Flub” of the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany celebrated Christmas Wednes day with a gorgeous tree In their clubrooms on the third floor of the exchange building, at No. 78 South Pryor street. There whs a tree, as mentioned, and fully a cord of Christmas gifts one for each member of the club from the club Itself, and a great many from the members to each other, and quito a number from friends outside the exchange. The big tree would have had to he ten times larger to hold all the gifts that were piled in front of it. In all, there were more than 400 boxes and packages for the 300 girls who came filing In, beginning at It o'clock. Many of the pretty “hello girls" wore their switchboard gear on their heads, so ns not to lose more than necessary time, although the rules fur the day were not very stringent. The line didn’t hold well, either, for there was promptly a breaking a\va\ and a scattering and an opening of boxes and packages -and a cross-fire of conversational pyrotechnics, the like of which couldn’t have been found anywhere else in Atlanta. Everybody was having the -time of her life, and didn’t care who heard it, either. The Co-op Club is one of the few concerns of the kind that can’t reach the end of a fiscal year without a surplus in the treasury. Tt Is com posed of the operators, who are In trusted with the management of the restrooms and cafe on the third floor of the building, where luncheons may be had and good ones at 5 cents and upward, but not so very far up ward. At that, the company bearing tho “overhead expense" for rooms, light, gas and so on, the Co-op Club always has money left over at the end of the year So it gives entertainments, like this handsome Christmas tree affair.

You won’t frame up a better sys tem of Christmas philosophy, or a finer spirit of the peace-and-good-wdlr-on- earth brand than in filling the empty stockings of a great city on Christ mas Day. You were regular Santa Clauses. And ah the world knows that Santa Claus is the best sort of a Good Fel low. Thank you— And Merry Christmas! Say—It doesn’t look like such a gloomy day, does it? mother who called for the basket; wurm, comfortable underwear for her children; shoes, stockings—and toys. And that meant no empty stockings In many hundred homes. That meant no heart-breaks In the cold, drizzling dawn of Christmas morning. That meant a happiness in the heart and a glowing warmth in the body that the chilly gloom of the morning could not touch. That meant "Merry Christmas!’’ But It wasn’t “Merry Christmas" for those homes alone. , You know (you people who made the Empty Stocking tragedy u thing I of the past In Atlanta), and we know, I who called on you and saw you re spond day by day—we know' among I us, and It’s all in the family, that the j finest part of all this big Christmas celebration came Christmas morning j with the realization that THOSE ; Kids haven’t got much philosophy. I the way we older ones see it. Our I own philosophy, at the best, is a sorry sort of grin-and-bear-it affair. The kids (thank goodness!) haven’t got that vet.
