The quiet charm of the old

the Capital because her hus-
band was ordered to the
Pentagon after several years
in Germany. Col. Coulter was
commanding officer at the
airbaSe at FaSSberg. 4 min
utes from the Russian border.
during the Berlin airlift from
1948 to 1851. While he was
occupied with the airllft, his
wife organized recreational
activities for the personnel.
Shortly after her arrival in
Washington. Miss Bennett
was attracted to Georgetown.
She liked the atmosphere of
the old houses on tree shaded
streets and thought the quiet
charm of the section an ideal
background for a home. After
much looking around, she
chose the old brick house at
1913 Thirtieth street NV,
because of its large rooms,
high ceilings and secluded
garden.
There are six bedrooms all
together. The house was
completely repainted inside
and handsome pediments for
the doors and cornices for the
large windows were designed
especially. On the first floor
is a large drawing room done
in soft grayish pink which
makes a pleasing background
for Miss BENEFITS blond
beauty. A Louis XVI barom-
eter is the focal point of
charming corner grouping and
lends elegance to the room.
