Home located at the entrance to
Sligo Park Hills, the new de-
velopment Of the North Washing
ton Realty Company, builders of
the Model Home. w. B. Moses &
Sons, cooperating with the build
ers and The Washington Times,
have made an exceptionally good
demonstration of the inexpensive
furnishing of this English cottage
type home and have. made it a
model demonstration h o m e in
every particular. ..
The. general theme of adopting
English cottage architecture to
the modern moderate price de-
mand has been followed through
out. From the excellent invest
ment from the standpoint of
minimum upkeep even to the
fabrics and furniture chosen one
finds moderate prices. practical
lasting qualities, and good taste
Beautiful Landscape
Here is combined the advan-
tage Of suburban community
with plenty of ground and a nat
urally beautiful landscape to
gether with transportation, store
and necessary conveniences with
q year-round home in good taste,
moderately priced and beautifully
decorated.
Through the privacy of a
weather protected entrance one
turns toNfind a twopurpose room
Immediately at the left on the
ground floor. This is joined to
an attractive bath and a large
closet. The room has been fitted
as study with a combination
bed lounge, comfortable char.
gate-leg extension table and given
an atmosphere to make it adapt
able perhaps for the older boy of
the family. as guest room OF
as the study quite aside from the
main living room.
High Ceiling.
Turning to the right from the
entry down step one enters a
high beam ceiling living room with
mantle and wood finish of natu
raj rubbed pine and fireplace op
poslte large triple window.
This window is really an tx
ceptional feature of the house and
like the others is constructed OF
the most durable metal frames
and sash for fixed and swinging
glass. The same material has
been used for traverse curtains On
the side, frames, on the two win.
dows toward the front and for
the shirred glass curtain on the
French door to the screened living
porch.
From the living room one
passes to the screened living
porch where inexpensive, but use
ful and comfortable furniture has
been arranged. The natural ten.
dency is to stop and rest in such
a delightful spot.
Through convenient door one
reaches the dining room. Here
large group of windows brings
light from another point of the
compass shielded by Hindoo silk
traverse curtains with straight
side draperieS of impreSSionistic
flower pattern again on a neutral
background. This material is
new and not only colorful and at
tractlye, but most serviceable.
Upstairs one finds a conven-
1ently located bath by the land
ing and the masters and guests
bedrooms furnished this time in
three-piece inexpensive bedroom
suites, one of English and the
other of modified French design.
The masters bedroom is in a
general orchid tone carried out
from the wall paper of the period
to the bed spread and dresser
sticks. The English red mahog-
any OF the furniture stands out
well against a novel background
of an Ultra Crex" fiber rug
with part cotton in the pile.
These rugs harmonizing with
both bedrooms are being demon
strated as an inexpensive year
round bedroom floor covering and
seen to be exceptionally suited to
this purpose.
The model home is open for in
spection daily and Sunday from
10 a. m. to 9 p. m. To reach,
drive out Sixteenth Street to
Alaska Avenue and District line;
watch for large Sligo Park Hills
sign.
