he biggest
EVERY year after the
finish of the annual
overcoat sale we wonder
how we'll meet the figures for
the next sale.
But we didn't worry this year. We
felt we had the sale beat before it
started.
For away last March, when our
makers preferred cash to carrying
over their seasons surplus, we
stepped in and took over their entire
stocks.
1t was the biggest single overcoat
purchase we had ever made--and the
best
And here are the oUercoats:
Great coats, small coats, thick
coats, thin coats, long coats, short
coats; coats for the man who battles
all outdoors, to coats for the office
worker who stays within.
That is to say, we have ulsters and
ulsterettes, storm coats and street
coats, big auto coats that enveloP
one like blanket, to form-fitters that
show off man at his best.
Plenty, too, Of the Chesterfields-
the ever-staple and stylish dress coat
that seven out of ten men prefer.
Rest of all, most of the coats are:
solid cOlors-blues, blacks, grdys-
the solid coIOrs that most men iCdnt
Rut of course there are plenty of the fancies
from neat mixtures to big, burly woolen plaids.
All regular sizes from 33 to a.; sprinklns
Of longs and shorts and irregulars-so much OF
everything, in fact, that every one who needs
winter overcoat should come.

Jun,els Order Sale of Last
Of Large Realty Holdings
Heir Living in Europe Has Forced Partition of Long
Held Property at Caryl, Near Van Cortlandt
Park, Bought After Celebrated Blackma;l Case

The last large property holding of the
famous Jumel family. for many years
among the largest owners in New York,
is to be sold at auction on Saturday,
April 80. A Jumel heir living in
Europe has requested the partition
Of the 1875 lots at Caryl, which
is Just at the north end of Van
Cortlandt Park and in the City of
Yonkers, purchased by the Jumel fam
lily some forty years ago. High. taxes
and high living costs in the old parts
Of the world are understood to have
forced this action. The sale refreshes
the history of New York. 1t recalls
men and women and incidents that
we're we'll known in the early days of
New York City.
1t was soon after the close of one
Of the most dramatic incidents in the
life of the Jumel family that the prop
erty now to be sold was purchased.
George Washington Bowen appeared
after the death of Nine. Jumel and
filed an action demanding a sons share
Of the great Jumel estate, which in
cluded the well-known Jumel Mansion
Heights. He said that he was the
illegitimate child of Mrs. Stephen Jumel
The heirs Of the family fought the
charge. 1t was proved that Mr.. Bowen
had no claim and that the action was
an attempt on the part of this man
and attorneys to blackmail the June
estate.
1t was after this action that Will
liam Kennedy, founder of the present
firm of Bryan l.. Kennedy, auctioneers
was commis stoned by the Jumels, hav

Edna Dickinson is erecting an Office

which will not alone be striking for
its architectural design but it's interior
design and furnishings
The building is twenty-five fee. front
and thrtytwo feet deep, with a ten bv
twelve foot wing at the rear. The
treatment of the building is pure clas-
sical. The side walls are of white
stucco and are broken up with three
tcot base cornice and plaster. The
front of the building will have por-
tico seven feet wide, surrounded by
Dorlc cornice and supported by Doric
column and pilasters. The floor of the
portico is to be of old brick laid in
honeycomb pattern.
The interior of the building ia di-
vided into two large Offices and anta-
rooms, the front Office for the gen
eral public and the rear Office for nr;-
vatc use.
fhese two rooms are to be traced
IN pure Colonial style, the motif be-
ing taken from an old Colonial home
in Massachusetts. The old-fa shioned
rim and wainscot around the roor,
combined with old style doors. cor,
nices and antique furniture. will piva
it an air that is not seen in or used
much in an Office Of present. dav hurry
There will be fireplace in each az
tce, with mantels that are reproduuc-
tions of types found in old Revolution
ary homes. The lighting of these Offices
will be by electricity, but so concealed
in the old style Wichu lamps that one
is almost carried back to the days of
the sperm oil lamps, while the candle
sticks on the mante1 carry one back
still further.
All of the interior woodwork is to
be treated in old ivory, with old brass
for all fixtures and hardware.

dwellings and apartments to relieve
pressure in older sections. They are
looking to the lowtpriced lands OF East
Bronx for sites, and the outlook seems
to be that within short span Of years
they will create such demand for land
that prices naturally will go up until
they reach or pass established values
in the more built-up districts to the
south and west.
Fastest Growing Borough
The Bronx is the fastest growing
borough in the greater city, as the Fed
eral census taken in 1900 shows a
population OF 430,98O, against the CEN
sus taken last yeor Of population of
7S2,016, which shows an increase of
about 20 per cent.
that Pelham Park is a part Of greater
New York City, and yet it is fact
which needs reiteration when one steps
out of the new subway station and
gazes out over the we'll wooded stretch
Of country that fringes Pelham Bay.
Perhaps the one thing that strikes the
visitor most forcibly Is the absence Of
houses in a district of we'll graded
roadways. Here and there above the
tree tops can be. seen the crumbling
chimney of some old mansion that
marks Dack TO tne DAYS When Cne sec
ton was part of the vast Pell estate
Even before the subway mole made the
area easily accessible from downtown
Manhattan and even from certain points
in Brooklyn the trip would have amply
repaid the amateur or professional his
torian or any one who takes more than
passing interest in the architecture
of early American country houses.
There are to be found the Lorillard
Spencer homestead, the venerable Mar
shall mansion. the Hunter mansion,
now an inn, after which Hunters Island
was named, and finally the old Pell
Manor house, the homestead of John
Pell. lord Of Pelham Manor, who held
all the land thereabouts under a grant
from the Duke of York.
Through the heart of the district
sweeps Pelham Bay Parkway, which is
perhaps the most popular drive in the
city. 1t carries the motorists to Pel-
ham, Travers Island, New Rochelle,
Mamaroneck, Harrison, Rye and Port
chester.

which fronts on the Pelham Park
parade grounds, and more than half
dozen of the intersecting streets. The
buyers for this property can combine
city and country life. as Pelham Bay
Park is known as New York's giant
breathing preserve.
Thousands are casting about for
home sites to build and emancipate
themselves for all time from the
monthly rent receipt, which in the last
two years has grown beyond all precc-

which a number of the lots front, is
one of the main automobile thorough
fares of the country, while Westches-
ter Avenue is the business thorough
fare of the Bronx.
To many thousands of residents of
the greater city Pelham Bay plots are
only name. To other thousands who
some times motor to the eastward on
the fine roads that skirt Long Island
Sound, the district is better known.
They drive through part of it as they
pass along Bronx and Pelham Park
way before it joins Eastern Boulevard.
To-day the Pelham Bay section is
very lightly settled. To some who are
unfamiliar with real estate matters
this may seem to be sign that build
ers lack interest in the district and
that it's development will be slow.
Such a thought would be unfortunate.
Homes for many thousands of people
probably would be standing to-day on
these vacant blocks had conditions
been normal in the building world
during the time of the subway's. con-
struction and since it's completion.
But in East Bronx, as in all other
sections. builders have been idle be-
cause of high costs. Now, with con-
struction costs falling and still further
relieved by exemption from taxation
on their new buildings, builders are
searching out plots on which to erect
