SUBURB OF THEla VERY OWN.
Washington Newspaper Men Lay Out
Rural Addition.

V ashington is about to have sub
urb like unto which there is nothing
in the records of things suburban.
Probably the most remarkable thing
about this suburb is that 1t Is not
going to be put on the market. That
is not its only unique feature, for 1t
is to have no streets, and man with
a bank account of more than three
figures will not be welcome within
it's limits.
It is to be a truly rural" suburb,
controlled by diminutive suburban
trust, and If the plans of its builders
materialize the civic millennium will
have been discovered, and folks living
out Chevy Chase way will have mod
ell settlement where great social prob
lens will have been solved, where
there will be neither capital nor labor,
where politics will be an entity, and
the lion and the lamb will lie down
together.
The trust that is about to give be-
ing to this mysterious suburb Is
composed of Washington newspaper
men, who, with a modesty that is
paradoxical, request that their names
be not published. About six months
ago these men-six in number
bought part of Clean Drinking
Manor, just to the eastward of Chevy
Chase lake, and adjoining the estate
of "Old Nick" Jones.
The tract-23 acres in all-is Gov
cred with natural growth of tim
Der; in fact, it is veritable for
est The six newspaper men have
divided the property, and each one is
preparing to construct thereon low,
rambling bungalow of logs, with rough
single roofs, broad porches, dormer
windows, and all that sort of thing.
Instead of streets, the boys have
provided for typical country roads
winding through the trees, thus re-
tanning to marked degree the rustic
effect. The material for the bungalows
will be cut from the roadways and
from the clearings for the building
sites. The entire tract is to be
fenced in, little pathways will be laid
out under the pines and the poplars
and the elms, the wilderness of honey
suckles will be left undisturbed, and
the members of the suburban trust
will settle down, far from the mad
ding crowd.
In order to assure thoroughly con
genial community, the boys will not
let any one else In on the deal except
possibly one or two mutual friends.
