But there were homes in Atlanta
where the snow was not considered a
beautiful thing. There were homes
where the snow meant only that the

no money in the house to pay the coal

balling when their clothes are thin and

er the shouts of joy it caused would
drown the signing 1t brought. l Won
dered if above the peals Of laughter
that rang from thousands Of merry
youngsters playing in it's icy drifts,
there could not be heard the sobbing
from a hundred helpless homes.
Nature tried its best to give Atlanta
a perfect Thanksgiving day. No great
er boon could have been given the
thousands OF school children for their
holiday than the white coverlet 1t laid
over the city the night before. Every
turkey tasted better after hours of
snowbaIling, and coasting and snow
sculpture.
Most OF Atlanta Smiled.
Every young heart beat quicker from
the exercise. Every boys mind was
brighter and every girls appetite keen
er. What Il some youthful snow war
rior soaked you behind the ear with his
icy missile? What if a band OF young
savages did roll you around in q snow
bank and make you lose your specta
cles and dignity? To-Day was no day for
grouches. All the city should have
smiled. And q greater part OF Atlanta
did.
1t was mighty pleasant to sit by
roaring fire in u comfortable home with
nothing TO do but whet your palate for
the feast to come and gaze out OF a
frosted window that the Great Artist
had designed just for the day. The
sun was shining its brightest Tor the
occasion, and its rays made every snow
laden tree d bower of diamonds
It was mighty fine to sit in a steam
heated club, with convivial cup at
elbow and a smiling waiter near by,
ready for the tip which the spirit of the
season suggested.
Such doors From Kitchen!
1t was mighty pleasant for Atlanta
mothers to see their children rush in
the house, with cheeks afia1ne and a
laugh IN their eyes, to peer into the
kitchen. from which delicious fumes
sent the tidings that the day was really
one for thanks. What ii they did track
up the best hall carpet with their snow
caI5ed SHOES? What If their embrace
did leave an imprint Of slush on your
best gown? The children were happy.
So were you.
It was great to WALK through the
streets aud parks with a brisk wind
making you feel that life was worth
living. and a Heavenly Decorator nav
ing worked to make a scene that no
master artist has ever been able to
equal.
You laughed as you walked into an
amouscade OF playful snowballers. You
watched with gripping interest the
snow struggle Of two rival neighbor-
hoods. You wanted to take d hand in
the battle yourself. You smiled as you
gazed on the snow men and told the
sculptors how much better YOU did those
things when Won were a hid
