There Is, OF course, no tendency on the
part of the developers to set up
standard Of architectural design. That
would make for monotony which would
be especially out of place IN country
of such varied topography. The devel-
opers merely insist that the houses be in

er may exercise his own choice.
The demand at Fieldston just now
seems to be for building sites rather
than homes already erected. This, the
developers say. is largely a reflection Of
conditions elsewhere and Is due to the
drop in building costs and the contrast
ing rightly of the price scale in the

n that great American novel IL ever
written one OF the measures OF It's COM
pleteness will be the skill with which
tho author has stressed the dominating
part which the 'five-ffteen" has played
IN the suburban life Of the country.
Any man who works in New York and
lives outside the walls of the greater
city knows full we'll the tyranny OF
the time table. He need not be told
that his whole psychology has been
changed and his habits altered 80 as to
meet the exacting demands OF the train
schedule which II in itself as unyield-
ing as the laws Of the Modes and the
Persians. Tho whole grim philosophy
Of tho thing Is summed up in the adj
vice 80 often given by the suburbanite
to his overnight guest: IT'S always
good iS&a to leave town at the same
time train does"
But after all the granny OF the time
Able has created a pleasant form OF
slavery which has many compensating
features II ono only has the sort OF oc-
cupation that will permit Of his getting
homo before the baked potatoes have
been burned to a crisp. There are
many. however, who yearn for the joys
Of suburban life but find the ''five-fif-
teen" a bar sinister to the fuihllment
OF their hopes. 1t Is for these unfortu-
mates that haven was created about
ten years ago in that stretch OF beauti-
full rolling country on the bank Of the
Hudson just beyond the northern
boundary Of Manhattan.
Few persons, even among those who
have spent their lives in New York city,
are acquainted with the beauties Of the
colony of Fieldston In the garden section
Of The Bronx known as Riverdale on
Hudson. Fewer still know Of the origin Of
this highly restricted colony founded by
the Delafelds. one of New York's old
est families. The two hundred acres en-
braced within the walls Of Fieldston
originally made UP the Delaheld estate,
and here there are still to be found the
Nne old mansions built by members Of
the family. About a decade ago the
Dslafelds decided to give their friends
the privilege Of sharing the advantages
Of this beautiful location with them and
some Of the land was sold. Then the
project was extended for the benefit OF
hard working executives. professional
men and others whose tong hours and
exacting duties make committing hmpcs-
sible. 1t was as nearly an idealistic
project as any practical venture Of its
kind could possibly be. since then the
Delafields have put back into the de-
velopment Of the tract every cent made
through the sale of property. The officers
of the developing company, known as
the Delaneld Estate. are all members
Of the Delafield family and serve without
salary.
To-day art and nature vie with each
other for the chief share Of the credit
in the Identification Of Fieldston. and
the splendid specimens Of architecture
to be found there bear witness to the
fact that the altruism Of the developers
has not missed its mark, that It has pro-
