Miss Mary G.. Pinknev. the richest I'M
married woman in the United States is
now 80 years old and, judging from her
present state of health. she is in a fair
way to live to be a hundred. Don't
bother with society and live as much as
possible out of doors" For fifty years
she has followed this plan. She has both
her summer and winter home right on
Manhattan island and is one of the few
persons who can support the luxury of Il
real farm within the city limits. Every
summer she goes to her place in the I'M
per end of the island and remains there
until cool weather sets in, when she re-
turns TO her apartments in the Bucking-
ham. Thousands of persons pass along
Seventh avenue and never see the Pink
ney farm. 1t is hidden behind a huge
bluff of native rock, stretching clear
across the block on Seventh ave
nue. and rising about fifty feet
from the curb. Turn around this bluff
into One Hundred and Fortieth street
toward LenoX avenue and you suddenly
come upon an extensive lawn and some
magnificent old trees-elms willows and
horse .chestnuts. Thousands of birds
have their nests in them. The farm is as
musical with their song as though it was
IN the heart of the country. Beneath the
trees is large garden filed with old
fashioned tiOwers-peonies, hydrangeas
sweet williams, southern wood pansies
and roses in profusiOn. Oleanders and
flg trees are scattered about in green
painted tubs.
