FOR SALE: On Wisconsin Avenue at the edge of old Georgetowne occupying ten acres of valuable apartment building land stands the Mount Alto girls finishing school. Tra- ditionally from the turn of the century a classical curriculum of walking, talking, tea and such prevailed. However in the early forties under the guidance of a new head master, fellows were first admitted. Since then it has catered solely to veterans. It is felt that under new management, pressure might be applied to get the fellows out. Inquire : Carrie Nation REAL PROPERTIES A BARGAIN This lovely New England colonial was originally erected on Nantucket Island by an old sea captain for his lovely young wife. The high towering widow's walk fwhich she hopefully walkedl was her design, making an un- expected arrival of her husband's ship impossible. One day after a tangle with Moby Dick the old captain slipped into port in a little dingy and caught the young wife and her lover by surprise. After dunking the wife and keel- hauling the lover the old captain died of a stroke. The building was willed to the United States Navy which moved it stone by stone to Bethesda, Md., where it served as a naval infirmary. However with the new spending pro- gram a new seven hundred bed infirmary is to be built over the next twenty years so that the Navy is giving the building away if someone will move it off the Adm.iral's golf course. Until completion of the new infirmary Navy personnel will be treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital or referred to their Survival at Sea Manual. I1zquire.'E'manualC'a1z't, Bethesda, Md. f--.. .

A LISTING OF THE VERY CHOICEST ESTATES NOW ON THE MARKET 1' W - Q'-.414--' - .1 7 ri. xy '1 ' 1-w if ' 'W IN THE ARLINGTON COMMUNITY: Open for inspection, a classic rambling ranch house. This house is unique, with its wailing rooms, operating theatre, fu- neral parlors and crematorium. Originally it was owned by two brothers, one a quasi-surgeon, the other an undertaker. This cut down on operating expenses, so to speak. These frugal brothers also sold headstones and had a small cemetery in the back yard Imost graves unmarkedl. This house would be ideal for the social or civic minded family: the large rooms and crematorium might be used for private parties and weenie roasts. They might also be rented to such groups as the K. of C., Lions, NAACP or the American Nazi Party. The kids can use the operating theater and practice with their do-it-yourself Ben Casey Kits. Inquire: Dorothy Reed. P. O. 416, City 94 FOR SALE: A small but potential community hospital located in the lovely Georgetown neighborhood. Here is a three hundred bed relatively modern medical unit which by next year hopes to be fully approved for internships and residencies. Although prominent in the fields of cardiac surgery and internal medicine, the hospital's two outstand- ing features are itsipicturesque and congenial cafeteria, trumored to have had a two million dollar profit last yearl and a small but adequate emergency room lcapable of holding forty staff members and one patient in cardiac arrest.l Located nearby are: 1. Nightingale HallAA young ladies boarding house which with minor changes in the floor plans, lighting and laws had been made into a professional building. 2. A dormitory of the local college, The Kober Hall, housing both male and female students. Two interesting Master theses have come from the university this year: The Pros and Cons of Free Love cf Comparative Anatomy, Braille System. 3. An H shaped building housing the dental clinic and a lending library. This library, boasting a full Zane Gray collection, runs on a non-profit no volume principle. 4. This car-filled area is a research and farming tract run by the GTU flocal agricultural collegel. It operates entirely without government subsidy gaining income from quick frozen mud pies ipopular among the toddler setl and towing charges for stuck cars. It is also rumored they have a contract with the hospital cafeteria. Inquire: Sister Philist'i11a,' Georgetoume , snr. FOR SALE: THE GEORGE ORWELL ESTATE-A beautiful four-acre tract along the banks of the muddy Anacostia River in the heart of the Washington Forest fJunglel. The major buildings consist of: A. Gate House: used for reviewing and screening guests. Main Manor: is divided into two principle sections. The larger section once occupied by the rotund Mr. Orwell ta questionable Pickwickianl is designed in the character and philosophy of this thinking man, permeated with the feelings of contemplation, notion, concept, somnolence and stasis. The smaller tlesserl wing indeed was designed in the character and philosophy of Mrs. Orwell, a woman of action Cquestion- ably thyroid toxicl. The rooms here seem permeated with kinetics, dynamics, doing, obsession, compulsion and acting-out. C. Male Servants Quarters is a picturesque, pre-Columbian red brick completely renovated in 1776 in the spirit of that year. G. Female Servants Quarters and Dining Hall-recommended by Duncan Hines: the female servants that is. N. Guest House: designed primarily for carefree yet gracious living. Plans are in progress for a forty foot bar and a belfry. The caretaker has perfected a new drink Libri-beer-um and is also providing the Chiropters desmodontidae to be used either in the DT's or the belfry. D. Stables: Here the Orwells kept largely mares which it would appear were used only occasionally for breeding. However, rumor has it Mr. Orwell was influenced greatly by Johnathan Swift's A Sensible Proposal. The remaining buildings are used to store contraband drugs. Inquire: Charity Goodhue, Dept. Public Assistance, City B.
