The Interior decorating clans in
spected the home of Mrs. Morris
Michael, of Macon, last week to study
the unusual stylo of architecture and
decoration which It possesses.
Following the style peculiar tot
eighteenth century Frunce and Italy,
the house is authentically decorated
with original pieces of furniture of
this period and copies made from
original pieces. The house was dec
orated by Brown Interior Decorating
company of Atlanta.
MIhh Mildred Ledford, art Instruc

this section: tho prevailing trend
being toward early American types
of decorating.
The dining room Is papered with
hand paintings depicting scenes ,
from the streets of Venice with the
drawings made In Venice. The rug
on the dining room floor is real

A mosaic in geometric figures (
decorates tho celling of the library.
The cases in tills room are closed
with copper grills rather than the

Livestock Showing
Will Be Presented
By Ag Organization
In conjunction with Livestock-
Legume day the fifteenth annual
Little International livestock show
will be held in Hardman hall May 2.
Visitors for the day will be taken
on an inspection tour of the Uni
versity farms in the morning, and
served a barbecue dinner in Dawson
hall at noon.
The dog and pony show will be
held in the afternoon. Formerly
the entire show was held at night,
but it was necessary to limit the en
tries in the dog and pony exhibi
tion. By holding this feature in the
afternoon a larger number of en
tries will be possible. Outstanding
dog and pony experts are expected
for the show. The list of judges
has not been completed.
A main event, the livestock show,
will take place in the evening. An
imals owned by the University are
being groomed by students for the
show. Since more time will be avail
able for this feature there will be
a larger number of animals shown
this year than formerly, Asa Ben
nett, president of Saddle and Sir
loin, said. Musical numbers and
acts by the monkey drill team will
be given between events.
A large number of entries from all
parts of the state is expected to be
included in the dog show. Quite a
number of Athens people will enter
their canines in the exhibition.
Last year 30,757 students borrow
ed $3,418,000 from loan funds main

ties.

I give you the mildest smoke, the best
tasting smoke. You wonder what makes
me different. For one thing, it’s center
leaves. I spurn the little, sticky, top leaves
...so bitter to the taste. I scorn the coarse
bottom leaves, so harsh and unappe
tizing. I do not irritate your throat. I
bring comfort. I am the best of friends.
