lnentIy in eudence-has especial interest in many bearings.
The relation OF the popular priced auto to suburban development
il in itself a significant chapter.
Tubes and railways have a great deal to do with making Long
leland and New Jersey and Westchcster County blossom with re-.
strcted residence parks and stately ultra. modern manors; but they
are not the sole factors. 1t is the swift and lghtrunning auto that
has changed "two miles from nowhere to "fve minutes from the sta
ton" and given the real estate man a gilt edged proposition to
work on.
The result is that millions of dollars which ten years ago would
nave gone into town houses and palntial private dwellings in the
Park zone of Manhattan now go TO the building up Of country estates,
With luxurious Cottages" oranges and bungalows whose modest
names belle them, as at Newport.
AS regards city real estate values, this is a situation where to re-.
move or shift about does not necessarily mean to take away. The
town house money of rich or fairly well-todo New Workers is going
nowadays into castle-ike family hotels and vast, palatial apartment
houses, rather than into the separate private residential "brownstone
fronts" OF a generation age. 1t is not unheard Of for a single family
to rent apartments in one of these luxurious caravansaries at $s5, 900
re- annum. This means emancipation from the care of organizing
On elaborate city household establishment for the winter season
attcre, which is about the only period Of protracted residence here.
Ihs real establishment is at the country villa, now so easily accessible
aNd available for all home purposes the whole year round. House par
lies, hunts. dances, garden fetes. and all the larger social functions
