THE HIGHLANDS

THERE'S always been a certain
1 something that you just can't
put your fingertips on, a certain
something that makes you boast
about living at the Highlands.
Maybe it's because it is located on
Connecticut Avenue at California
or perhaps it may be that from
some Of the apartments you get
view of downtown Washington and
the hills of Virginia that can't be
surpassed. Still again it may be
the roof garden that they have fixed
up so cleverly where you can spend
many Of your leisure hours. Then
there's the cafe. where on the maids
night out you can get such delicious
meals and who are noted for their
excellent service. OF course the
apartments may have something to
do with 1t, with their lovely double
living rooms. two attractive bed
rooms. a full sized dining room,
kitchen. pantry and bath, that rent
for S102 80. So I give up. but I do
know that every one that has ever
lived there, is mighty proud of their
address. Linkins Co., 1873 De Sales
St., is the agent and will give. you
more details regarding the two bed
room apartment that is available
now.
