VAHIIINOTfN (Special to the

taste can be insensible to the
beauty and charm of the Colonial

and columned mansion of the great
estate, standing amid sweeping,
shadow-flecked lawns ami framed
by sentinel elms of traditional as
sociation, or the modest cottage
peeping demurely from its nest of
flowers and shrubbery, the Colon-
ial home Is typically American ,al-
ways quiet, graceful, and appeal-
