SHERWOOD FOREST:

"A summer nome just Ill 1IOuL
away from 18th and H Streets
N. W., by auto. Doesn't that
sound attractive? Imagine
Jumping in your car after a busy
day in the hot city and within
the hour find yourself in a COM
munity built right on the lovely
and historic Severn River. Could
anything be nicer. Bungalows
built in among the trees, rang
ing in size from a tiny two-room
and bath to one of seven rooms
and several baths. There is an
attractive club house that is the
center of the social life of the
Forest and adjoining the club
house is one of the largest dance
floors in Maryland and in the
basement of the club house are
bowling alleys and a number OF
pool and billiard tables. Every
possible form of outdoor life is
featured by this community for
you can swim. ride horseback,
play tennis and golf (there is a
marvellous golf courSe) and there
is a safe beach for the Riddles.
An attractive feature that will
appeal to the ladies is the fact
that while these bungalows are
equipped for housekeeping, there
most inviting lodge where
the residents can get well bal
anced .nd nicely served meals.
This is a lovely wooded section,
beautiful beyond comparison
and I am sure you could spend
q delightful and healthy sum-
mer here. These bungalows can
be purchased or rented and I
will be glad to give you further
information If so desired.
GOLF CLUB MANOR, VA:
Individuality, outstanding val
ues, superior construction are
all offered in these lovely homes
being presented by C. r. Karl
stromer. Nature has out-rivaled
herself in this particular spot
for the woodland setting is mag
nificent with beautiful gnarled
old trees casting friendly shad-
owS over each of these detached
homes. You will like the unique
arrangement of the living rooms,
most of them having wide case
ment windows adding to the
diStinctiveneSs of the house. All
Of the baths are ultra-new with
chromium fixtures and modern
showers. Each house has three
bedrooms, all beautifully decor
ated in the newest of wall paper
ing scheme. There is generous
closet space throughout all of
the houses and you will be de-
lighted with the new kitchens.
There is so much can tell you
about this development but
space forbids. So I am going to
let you Judge for yourself if I
have good taste or not. think
these houses are very attractive
and most reasonably priced.
1913 GRAFTON ST.,
CHEVY CHASE. Md:
Beauty means a lot and this
American Colonial type of house
had a lot of it to offer. The
charm of house laid in the lovely
spacious rooms and the many
French doors and windows that
made it so exceptionally bright
and CHEEKY. Built on that ever
popular arrangement of center
hall, the living room ran the full
length of the house with a pair
of French doors on either side
of an impressive fireplace open
ing onto a side terrace. On the
other side of the hall was din
ing room which opened into a
Solarium with eight windows,
giving three exposures. There
was a good.Sized pantry leading
to a Kitchen whose modern
equipment holds its own with
houses built this year. There is
another pantry containing ice
box and lots of shelves. The
cellar contained an automatic
heating plant. laundry room and
a lavatory. Upstairs were four
bedrooms and two baths, one OF
which connected two bedrooms.
The third floor contained a fin
iShed r1aid's room, a wonderful
large c.dar closet, which would
hold plenty of rugs, coats and
the things we pack away from
the far-seeing moths, and an un-
finished room off to the side
which was capable of being used
for most any purpose. The
grounds were remarkably well
Handicapped, with a long drive
way leading to a two-car garage
in the rear. You will like this
house of red brick with green
colonial shutters. Formerly this
house sold for $31, 500; it can
now be purchased in new-houSe
condition for $24,750. Now that
the days are so lovely, drive out
today and see it; it is just west
of the Circle at Connecticut
Avenue.
