GHRITAAS FUND 19 BIG;
MAKE 1T STILL LARGER
By THE SANTA CLAUS GIRL.
Blue Monday may be ever so rainy
and cold; it may also be just a week
before Christmas and your shopping
{sn't done, but it isn't really BLUE
Monday at all.
Instead it's rose colored, and as for
the rain—well, maybe “it's raining
daffodils,” or violets or something
like that.
There is one big general reason
and two very particular reasons why
the Santa Claus Girl's heart is glad
today. The big general reason is that
so many youngsters are going to be
made happy on Christmas Day by the
Empty Stocking Fund; and the par
ticular reasons—well, of course, the
first one is the Shriners’ wonderful
and inspiring Sunday concert, and the
second might be found in the follow
ing letter that came to The Georgian
o!gce Monday morning:
“Dear Santa Claus Girl:
Though I claim your beautiful
city my birthplace, I am a stran
ger In your midst. I desire to
help make happy the boys and
girls whose parents are not able
to give them the Yuletide pleas
ures.
I appealed to the Durham Jew
elry Company, No. 20 Edgewood
avenue, as to how they thought I
could best reach the little people.
They said, “By all means through
The Georgian's Empty Stocking
Fund.”
1 have purchased the following
toys and fruits. Will you kindly
inform them how and when to
reach you and deliver the goods.
God in His divine wisdom has not
blessed me as a mother, but my
heart beats with love for the chil
dren. May the bird of happiness
bring them great cheer and bless
you in your noble work.
Sincerely,
A FRIEND.
Happiness for Many.
The very realest sort of a friend,
to The Georgian and to the poor chil
dren of Atlanta, because she is a
Shrine Band Proves
llself Pride-Worthy
By DUDLEY GLASS.
Atlanta Sunday discovered
something new to boast about,
and, having comparatively few
strangers in our midst Monday,
we began bragging to one an
other,
“Say, that's a real band—those
Shriners?” was the first greeting
in many an office and on the cars,
“You bet!” was always the an
swer. “"Didn’t know we had such ‘
a band in Atlanta. They ought
to give more public concerts. Why
should the Shriners keep all that
music to themselves?”
For the concert at the Audito
rium Sunday afternoon was one
of the very few public appear
ances of the Yaarab Concert
Band, and it surprised the 6,500
persons who heard it by its ex
cellence. It's really a band At
lanta may feel proud of.
It had not had a real rehearsal
Tecently, for the Empty Stocking
concert was conceived only a
week ago, and the night set for a
rehearsal was so disagreeable,
and there was so much preholi
day work on hand that not half
the musicians attended. But, for
all that, the band Sunday played
With a snap and vigor that left
no room for criticism.
It played the kind of music a
typical Atlanta crowd likes, too.
There were surtxg marches, and
little concert pie¢es with plenty
of melody. One of the best num
bers of all was the famous “Poet
and Peasant” overture, a favorite
with all good bands, and the
Shriners brought out every bit of
lts beauty. The selections from
Martha,” one of the most tune
ful of al operas, were beauti
fl{lly played, too. Conductor Fred
Wedemeyer had molded those 45
business men into an excellent
organization, worthy of compari-
Bon with many a professional
band.
Frank Cundell, a tenor widely
known among mausicians and
churchgoers, gained thousands of
new admirers when he sang “O
Dry Those Tears,” and the violin
obligato by W, Whitney Hubner
Was wonderfully played. Charles
A. Sheldon, Jr., who had given up
his organ recital in favor of the
band, played the plano acecompa
nment with his usual excellence,

have to be cut at all. If each one of
you who has not already done so will
Just send in your conribution to the
Santa Claus Girl, one dollar or two or
five, according to your means, or
more if you can afford it, you will
help give a happy Christmas to every
single poor child in Atlanta, because
not one of them will have to be over
looked when Santa Claus makes his
rounds.
Just a Few More.
Justa few more hundred dollars—
let's make it the very best Christmas
that the poor children of Atlanta ever
had. Let’s not have a single kid in
Atlanta crying over an empty stock
ing on Christmas morning.
We can make them all happy if we
all work together, and be happy our
selves and make Christmas what it
really ought to be, a day of thank
fulness, a days, for children, whether
they be rich or poor.

Mr. Cundell was forced to respond
to an encore.
The Yaarab Chanters, a men's
chorus of sixteen voices, sang two
numbers under the direction of
Mr. Cundell, and made a big hit.
The first was the “Winter Song”
and the second the crooning
“Mammy Lou.”
Every member of the band and
the chanters is a Noble of Yaarab
Temple. They are not permitted
~ to play or sing in public except
for some charitable work. But all
Atlanta hopes they will find some
occasion to give the general pub
lic opportunity to hear them
again.

to The Georgian’s Empty Stocking
Fund, and the Santa Claus Girl was
so happy she tried to whistle, She
had been rather up against it, you
know, for she had a long, long list of
children whom Santa Claus just must
vigit, and experience of other years
showed there should be at least $1.50
for every child. For the fund doesn't
all go for candy and toys. There
must be shoes, and warm underwear,
and a sweater here and there, if the
children are to go to school this win
ter. You don't have any idea how
many Atlanta children are shvt out
of the public schools—the free schools
—because they have nothing fit to
wear,
It wouldn’t be possible to give sep
arate thanks and praise to every
Shriner who helped in one way or
another. But Noble A. P. Burke cer
tainly should head the list. For be

he started out last Monday and de
voted several hours a day to putting
that concert over. He and Byron
‘Souders, president of the band, didn't
do much else for six days but arrange |
details and straighten out tangles
and see that everything was right.
And everything went off as smoothly
as clockwork, thanks to their efforts.
Thanks are due, too, to every mem
‘ber of the band and the chanters,
to the Shriners who were ushers and
collectors, and to every wearer of the
fez who attended the concert and
gave as liberally as Shriners always
give,

The First Regiment from Savannah
may return early in January, accord

Hardwick asked the War Department
that the command be mustered out
of the service at Savannah, where It
was organized and where the citizens
'want to pay the militiamen some
honor. Hlis communication was re
ferred to General Leonard Wood,
commanding the Department of the
East. General Wood said that no ad
vice had been received from General
Funston as to the return of any one
of the Georgia regiments, but that
the location of the place where the
Savannah troops would be mustered
out was under consideration. It was
likely that Savannah will be gelected
