OPPOSITE SOMMER HOUSE Last Country Seat on Manhattan Sold I New York, January 18 (Special) The last country seat that remains on Manhattan Island has been sold, it is announced, and hereafter the greatest .borough in the city of New York will have no estate with a man sion on it to which the owner may in vite his friends. The final place of the sort to go is Tryon Hall, and it is situated on the historic site at Wash ington Heights, where Fort Tryon of Revolutionary days existed. LatelyMt has been owned by C. K. G. Billings, noted as a horse owner and millionaire. He must necessarily be the latter, for Tryon Hall could only be maintained by one of the great wealth, as it means something liko two million dollars of improductive capital to the possessor. Its situation is the best asset of the estate.however for it stands high above the Hudson River, in one of the healthiest parts of the city. New Yorkers have long since becomeused to the experience of seeing itsmore or less luslone land marks destroyed and they will find what confersation they can have in this instance in fact that the land so long practically uninhab ited may become available, in one way or another, to the uses of the people generally. 1 FARM SALE BILLS Get prices on farm sale bills at The Observer office.

The other nations of tlie west will have to accept this, bcenuso it will be evi dent tlwt the biintl of America is cleaner. THE WAR, TO MY MIND, IS THE OUTCOME OF OVERGROWN MA TERIALISM, OF AN IDEAL BASED ON SELF INTEREST AND NOT BASED ON HARMONY. There are differences between capital and labor because both are working in the interest of their own selves. Peace is but. temporary, and other clashes arc bound to come. The self interest of nations is the same. A new readjustment of tilings is necessary, a new age, w lien the idea of nationalism will be discarded, when colonics, the storm centers of the world, will be discarded. I think the war lias proved this quite conclusively.

Each worn- Jan is independently wealthy, and the giving or their time and energy and the jeopardizing of part of their in come in the new scheme must come from some other motive than self support. The action of these women, who are well known in society and in various lines of commendable activity u; j.v iiioaua oji iiyuuiivu cuse. Women are becoming a factor in the work of the city along new and pecu lair lines. Naturally those who have wealth choose the fields with which thoy are most familor in going into business, one of which is tho decora tion and finishing of the home or of institutional buildings and similar work. One woman recently has exon specialized in the fitting of nurseries, not necessarily of the more luxuriout sort. Any figure that might now be col lected as to the proportionate amount of business that women conduct as compared with men would be of little value, for the newer activities of money earners among women are proceeding largely along creative lines. In New York, at least, they appear to be striking out into new fields rather than elbowing their way into est ablished ones. The spirit of the times appears to be in accord with them, for if certain professionshave shown a tendency to close their doors to as pirants, tooth men and women with the assertion that they are crowded, other pastures are being found all around. The new kinds of businesses that have been started in the last few years, and which were unthought of before, is one of the astonishing fea tures of New York life. Whether by shrewd calculation or by initiative, women are proving themselves to be geniuses in the ferreting out of hither to unknown or undeveloped fields of remunerative employment. Their pre sence ha9 enlarged the work of the secretary, for instance, from that of an office attache to the dignity of a profession with universities shaping courses leading to degree and pro ficiency in it. Scores of busy offices on or near Fifth Avenue would be va cant now if women in recent years had not thought out and developed businesses that were never heard of before.
