Twelve Years in Busineas.
Light was thrown uron the interest

markable business ventures by persons
who have had dealings with her du:-

boarding and lodging house keeper.
Their descriptions place her in thu

Wealthy once through inheritance, she

determined to regain her fortune
through her own efforts. Her success
dates from the day she closed up hee

Of old Yorkvflle.
Year after year her business grew

A Real Business Woman.
She was stated in her Office on the
aground floor of the five story apart
ment house at 1925 Lexington avenue,
which she leased five years ago, and
in which she lives. Clad in a neat fit
ting suit of black her husband died
few years ago--and with sleeves cut
short, and seated at a desk on which
were many letters and other oocu-
II ents, she looked the part of the real
business woman and moment iate'
this impression was heightened when,
addressing a sort of general supervis-
or who had been summoned, she said:

More than score of orders were
given to the supervisor. who gladly
took a memorandum which Mrs Fos-
Ter had prepared with the various ad-
dresses written down. Her orders
were ratified off with the precision and
sternness of a mill boss and she de-
monstrated that she has every detail

floor of 1895 Lexington avenue is only
comfortably furnished; luxury is sac
rificed for business. In the YORK

others, but she prefers to live In an
apartment and will make her home in
a beautifully furnished house in Mad

Mrs. Foster explained when asked
for an interview that she dlslikes
