the i~rrevocable law of the forest

Virginia for the moment stood
still, trying to quiet her leaping heart
and her 1uttering nerves. Her hands
clasped at her throat, then she
walked to the threshold and opened
the door.
Harold L%ounsbury stepped through
blinking in the candlelight.

"Jt's l." he answered.. We've

The words seemed to rally her
scattered faculties.
Iastinctively her eyes swept his
face and form. AL doubt was Sast:
this nan was unuuestionably Har-
old. Yet she was secretly and vague-
ly shocked.

She remained singularly cold in

The questions, instead of embar-
RAISING him further, put Harold at
his ease. He had prepared for just
these queries.

didn't you answer?"
She stared at him In amazement.
You did-you say you wrote me?"
Wrote! I wrote a dozen times.
And I never received a word-except
from Jules Nathan"
But Jules Nathan-Jules Nathan
is dead"
HE is?" But Harold's surprise
was feigned. This was one piece of
that had trickled through the
wastes to him-of the death of Jules
Nathan, a man known to them both.
1t was safe to have heard from him.
The contents of the letter could
never be verified. "He told me-after

Homes for 1920
Persons Now Under
Way in the Bronx
Reville Says
lO3 Apartments Were
Completed Si1lceJanuary;
Outlay Is SS63,45o,523

Those who do not believe serious
efforts are being made to correct the
housing shortage may be interested IN
the figures made public last week by
Patrick J. Reville, Superintendent Of
Buildings in the Bronx through the
Bronx Board Of Trade. MIR. Reville
says that apartments for 43,270 per-
sons are now in course of construction
in the Borough. They will cost S45,-
$4,000 to build. These housings are
in various stages of construction, some
sufficiently advanced to be ready for
tenants in few weeks.
Since January /, he says, 1o3 apart
ments with suites for 1891 families
were completed. They cost $11, ,844 900
to build.
Building activity in the Bronx since
January has been of record breaking
character, both in volume and output
OF capital. Here is what Mr.. Reville
says:
'The year 1921 was a record breaker
also, and the great progress of the last
six months in Bronx building activity
can be appreciated more by comparing
this total of S63,459,528 with the $751;
667,S96 involved in new buildings and
alterations for 1921.
Plans were filed in 1921 for 3,52e new
buildings at an estimated cost Of S72,-
150,739 end 4,303 alterations at an esti-
mated cost of s3,517,157, a total of
s75,667,8 1896.
In the six months ended June 80
1922, plans were filed for 2,333 new
buildings at an estimated cost of $780,
893,634 and 2,670 alterations at an esti-
mated costs OF s2,565,@94, a total OF
s63 ass, ,52S.
In the first six months OF 1921 plans
were filed for 1,192 new buildings at
an estimated cost of $26,404, $50 and
2,097 alterations at an estimated cost
of s1,548,225 total of s27 ,952,675.
The amounts involved in building op-
erations in the Bronx in the first hal.
of 1922 were approximately 125 pei
cent above the amounts involved in
the first half of 1921.

British Housing
Experts Visit
Jackson Heights
Titled Men Say 1t Is Finest
Residential Development
They Have Seen; Greatly
InpressedWi hEnterprise

British housing experts and investi-
gators, who have just finished thor
ough examination of jackson Heights
apartments and garden schemes, say
the development is the most wonderful
residential building project they have
seen.
Sir James Carmic chael, K. B. E, late
chairman of Munitions Work Board
and also late director general Of hous-
ing for the British government; J
Walter Smith, director of housing for
the British government in the Ministry
of Health, and Major W. Douglas, of
the housing commission Of the British
government. were the visitors. Their
examination of the Jackson Heights
apartments completed three-week
tour of the United States, examining
and analyzing the various housing
plans and schemes in half dozen
large American cities.
A week ago the three British Off
cials called upon H. C. Irons, of H. C.
Irons & Sons, and requested informa-
otin about Jackson Heights. Arrange
ments were made to escort the distin-
guished visitors to the community.
Sir James Carmichael said after the
visit: 1--WE have visited during our
present examina ton trip Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Detroit, Albany and Bos-
ton, and have paid special attention Co
housing conditions as they exist and
plans for improving them as we have
learned them. We must say--and say
it nqualifedly-that never have we
seen anything to equal these apart
ments and their environment. We
shall return home with the remem-
brance of Jackson Heights as embody-
ing the last word in comfort, elegance,
health and beauty in houses.
"We cannot say yet as to what bene-
fit our report may work for our hous-
ing situation. The London slums and
the badly congested spots of other cit
les OF Great Britain are what concern
US. do not think London is so amen
able te housing Improvement along
your Jackson Heights lines. They are
not SO used to apartment life there,
In Scotland they know moSe about it
through experience and would take
to it more. But no matter what we
may say abroad, or what the result
may be, we can most surely declare
that Jackson Heights reveals apart
nlents superior to anything we have
seen in the United States, and for that
matter in the entire world. We wish
you further success in your beneficial
development"
The visitors were also shown the
200 single-family houses on Potter
Avenue, in Long Island City, being
erected there through the financing of
the metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, and commended them highly.

Colonial estates and mansions that
formerly graced Throg's Neck are now
almost completely surrounded and hid
den from public view by the hundreds
OF aii-year homes and bungalows of
every description erected there since
the autumn of 1920, when the pre-
Revolutionary period Coster estate was
distributed among number of home
seekers at public auction.
The sale of the Coster estate was the
beginning of a long series of sales that
since have opened up to the public the
Bruce Brown estate, the Turnbull es-
tate, the Brinsmade estate, the Wiss-
man estate and Hoffman Park, former
ly the property of the Ebling Brewing
Company.
One by one these estates have been
split up into lots, which have been
bought by hundreds of men who, with
the aid of their friends and families,
have built homes Of their own with
their own hands.
From East fremont Avenue, north to
Long Island Sound and south to 177th
Street and the East River, the scene to-
day is one of almost constant home
building; the aristocratic lawns of the
past are now dedicated to the home
builder of moderate means, who, on the
y
the past, has built homes by the hun
dreds and has become lord and master
of what has been called the most beau
tiful part of the Bronx.
The Bruce Brown estate, which was
sold at auction on May IA, 1921, is
now the location of 244 new houses.
There are now 85 new houses on the
onetme Coster estate, which was sold
in September, 1920, and q houses and
bungalows on the Turnbull estate,
which was sold in November, 1921.
There are approximately 20 new houses
and bungalows erected on the Brins-
made estate since the sale of the prop
erty at public auction in juno, 1921.
This estate lies between East fremont
Avenue and East 177th Street, opposite
to the Coster estate, Bruce Brown and
Turnbull estates.
Another sign Of the quick develop
ment of Throg's Neck is the opening
recently of chain stores in the section
1t is only a question Of time when
the last OF the few remaining large
! Throg's Neck estates will have passed
to the individual and speculative

point well beyond Dewey Avenue,
where East fremont Avenue is crossed
! by East 177th Street. This junction

corner of Madison Avenue and Forty

For the last four years they have
been endeavoring to secure satisfac-
tory permanent quarters on Madison

Knapp leased the block front from,
Forty-sixth to Forty streets
that they were successful.
The space they will occupy consists
