NEW GUEST HOUSE:
When they take one OF those
older houses and turn them into
guest houses they generally are
so lovely and attractive that it is
difficult to get a reservation. In
this particular one there are about
% rooms and nearly as many
baths. 1 didn't count them, but
never saw such huge bathrooms
in all my life; some of them were
easily the size of an average room.
One room on the first floor was
a studio type with a wood-burning
fireplace, walnut paneled walls,
great long windows and the most
attractive chandeliers. The draw
ing room that is at the disposal
of the guests was formerly the
ballroom, and it is quite possible
to talk privately at all times, due
to it's maSSiveness. The meals
that are served are of the best
