The Atlanta Journal says: An At
lanta girl who has made life study
Of the art that goes into making
homes look more artistic and COM
Portable, and business places and
lubs better to look upon, is going to
add a more home-like touch to the
huts of the army and navy Y. NJ. c..
A. in the southeastern camps. The
soldiers have found the "Y' huts the
most comfy" and appealing places
in the environments, but Miss Peggy
Bobbitt, an interior decorator and
artist, is going to infuse little more
brightness and home touch into the
huts if that is possible. Miss Bob
bitt has enlisted in the "Y" service,
not to transform the "Y" huts into
dreams of fantastic art, but into
places where the boys will feel they
are the nearest to the home they
could get without being actually
there. The Atlanta woman, who is
official decorator for the Capital City
Club, and who has done many impor-
tant and artistic jobs in Atlanta
homes and business places, will work
with the constructing director for the
army and navy Y. M. c. A. of the
southeast. Miss Bobbitt is a profess,
sional interior decorator and she has
dreamed some time of having a
, chance to make the "Y" huts bit
more home-like and yet retaining the
practical. She figured they would
have to be just as practical and serv-
Iice-giving as they are now, but a mite
more pleasing to a fellow longing for
home. Miss Bobbitt not only works
out decorative schemes, but designs
furniture. She will start at Camp
Gordon in the "Y" nuts there, and
later will tackle Fort McPherson's
"Y" buildings and those at Camp
Jessup. She believes that the home
touches she has worked out will be
adopted for other "Y" huts in the
southeast. Miss Bobbitt took a post
graduate course in Maryland Art
School, Baltimore, and is widely
known throughout the country as a
leader in home decorating. She has
an extensive acquaintance IN Atlanta.

ney Rock and Robt. E. Lee Hall,

| in Atlanta, Canton and Calhoun and
last to Lookout Mountain, Tenn.
reaching home this week and is ready
to resume her piano work at her
home Miss Dickson is loud in her
praise for the mountains and the
beautiful scenery which confronts
one on every side, as we'll as the hos
pitality of the good people there.
