ALL KEEN ON ART.

PRETTY GEORGIA GIRLS.

IHEY WILL " DO» OXFORD.

LONDON, August 25.

| With cinematograph cameras to their I eyes, a party of pretty Georgia girls are touring the sights of London before rushing off to "do" Oxford and the Shakespeare country.

With two brown-skinned young men, they make up the party of 14 guests— aged between 16 and 20—of wealthy Mr. E. B. Murray, a Georgia schoolmaster.

The majority of the party, fairhaired, dressed in the height of Am«-i----can fashion, are students at the coeducational University of Georgia and all are friends of Mr. Murray, who has taken them on a two months' tour of France, Germany and Poland before bringing them to England.

A reporter found them as they were leaving the Wallace Collection, and they shyly confessed that although they had been in London only two days "they liked it a whole lot."

"I took them to the National Gallery soon after they arrived," Mr. Murray said. "We didn't have time to see ail the pictures, so the youngsters decided they would go back. They are all most

-keen on art. Other students I have taken on tours wouldn't give ten cents for it.

"Everywhere we have met with great courtesy. When we arrived at Dover— most of us had been pretty ill on the way over —the Customs officer let us through without declaring our cameras providing we do not dispose of them while we are here."

The reporter asked him what they did when they were not sightseeing. "Oh. they go shopping," he said. "They buy anything but clothes. English clothes don't go down well at home. The materials are wonderful, but the cut— well, we just don't like the cut."
