A GEORGIAN HOUSE OF 
Throughout the South one finds in¬ 
numerable stately residences that, for 
all the mutations of time and wars, still 
keep their ancient dignity and simple 
charm. The McCormick Neal house at 
Covington, Georgia, is such a place. 
Century-old trees surround it. Its paths 
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO 
are edged with box. The formality of 
its setting is akin to the classical archi¬ 
tecture of the house itself. Instinctively 
you know that the rooms have fine 
paneling and delicately carved mantels, 
and satinwood cabinets and fascinating 
landscape painted window shades
