 Other Bank Building

New York. Nov. IS UP)-H. Alen were partners until a few years ago. Then they separated and each got a contract 10 build the tallest office building in the world" |"
 Severance was employed for the Bank of Manhattan company and Alen was retained by Walter r. ChrysIer.
 Van Alen started the race first in October, 1927, at 42nd street and Lexington avenue - Severance II months later at No. 40 Wall street
 Today 8 flag topped pinnacle rises 1,030 feet above the entrance to the Chrysler building much higher than the Woolworth building and oven surpassing the Eiffel tower in Paris. And bunting flutters in the breeze atop of a 50-foot f1agpolc $50 feet above Wall street from Sever ance's Bank of Manhattan building
 The method by which Van Alcn topped his rivals efforts are told by Allen T.. Beals in the Dow Service daily building reports. The topmost rentable quarters on the roth floor of the Bank Of Manhattan building are higher than the loftiCst office in the GSth floor of the Chryslcr build ing, but Van Alen's pinnacle, planned in such a manner than even the workmen of the building thought it's base merely was for an elevator shaft, adds 12 stories to the height of the structure.

 Ricardo. it appeared, was happy, too. He had but recently heard from his girl in the sunny south of Italy. She was coming across to join him! What a dear good world it could be!
 On the little platform, Bill Foster, looking piumpcr than ever, was waving his baton gaily in their di- rection. The next moment he gave the sign for the boys to strike up some Of the tunes from The Knave of Jazz; tunes being whistled all over the town.
 The manager led them over to the special table reserved for them. Beside Barbara's place was a huge corsage of orchids with cerise. black and gold streamers. Written on a white card were the words, Prom Rays pals in the band"
 How dear of them,' she mur- mured, tears thick in her lashes. "how incredibly dear"
 Bill Foster joined their table in one of the intervals
 "Reminds me of that night at the Savoy" he said with a grin. Then I remember your saying that you weren't interested in your hus- bands music Changed your mind somewhat since then, eh 2" He winkcd knowingly and good humor- edly
 Barbara flushed.
 "Of course I've changed it." she said quickly. its a wonderful thrill just to be the wife of some one as famous as Ray"
 Her eyes met Rays and they smiled in complete understanding.
 Every now and then couples, pro- fuse in congratulations would stop by their table. Ray was too new at the game not 10 get a decided thrill out of it all. Even MT. Nande- vecr Landon happened, just hap pcned, 10 be there.
 "Well, Ray. guess you're not thinking Of coming back into my office. oh ?'
 He nudgcd the young man in the ribs as, chucklmg, he passed on. It occurred to him, as he puffcd on i his inevitable cigar, that it was pleasant to be connected, ever | through marriage, with young man of Rays undeniabIe promise. It was towards the end of the 1 evening that Bill said 10 the boys
 Now, fellows, as a sort of Aul( Lang Syne. let's give 'cm some o' Rays old tunes. The ones we uset 10 play here in the club"
 He spoke to the manager and the lights were lowered.

 Ray nodded vaguely almost as though he hadn't heard her. For he was suddenly obsessed by the idea that a girl was dancing before him, a tall handsome girl with the face of a Madonna. Suddenly he was aware of a queer ache of lone liness and, for a brief few minutes, he was back with Rita in the little apartment planning and dreaming for just such a night as this
 Barbaras warm little hand crept into his.
 Dreaming. Ray? You looked so far away you frightened me"
 He started and, as his eyes rested on his wifes face, adoring her soft loveliness, the ghost of Ritas mem- ory gave a laughing, cheeky little bow and danced away into oblivion.

 The curtain finally down, the company was scattering, but still Bay fingered, standing scowlipg oown into the dead footlights. He could think of nothing except that he had seen Barbara before his very eyes dancing on that stage!
 Rita had stayed behind, too, for some reason. Turning suddenly to- wards her, Ray cried aloud:
