He left his wife and baby, Joseph, apparently safe in the home of his parents and came here. Then came the war and the Russian revolution. His father ~was the victim of a bullet. His mother died of starvation. Mrs. Khandros, with her child, tled the country 13 AFTER13 YEAR SEARCH contact many The cobbler lost witk her and his search foreign lands was without results. One day in 1925 a letter came from his wife, but the shadow again de- scended when he was unable to find them following their depertation to Russia.

This consists of property at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y, where she maintains a residence, and at other places on Long Island. The estate wus valued at $5,000,000 and would have required the services of at least two men, less energetic than Miss Jones, to administer. But shie found time to do the work and engage in fights with at- torneys over matters which she considered she knew more about than they. Even this did not occupy all her time.
