romance and achievement founded on
a woman's love Of bargains. 1t con-
Germs the life Of Mrs. Sarah A.

last october. leaving an estate of $s.-
100000. Mrs: Bent's bargain counter
was Wall street. There she bought
remnants that looked good TO her.
bargains for the most part that had
been discarded by others. She re-
lied entirely on her own Judgment,
and whenever her friends tried to tell
her she was wasting her money on
useless purchases she would flx a long
range vision on the future. remark
that they. might come in handy some
day, smile contentedly and change
the subject. Perhaps she would in~
vite them to gather up some, lunch
and tackle and go fishing.

MRS Bent, who was seventy-seven,
AA lived with SO little. splurge that
few people had any suspicion of her
great wealth. She was regarded by
her acquaintances as q very active old
lady who got a lot out of life and was
devoted, to a small circle of friends,
whereas II she had wished she might
have set herself up rs a very excep-
tional woman who played q hazardous
game and won.
She had none Of the frumpy appear
anca Of the old-time feminine fnan-
cier. Her clothes were good and
stylish, and because in recent years
she believed in reaping her harvest
by getting good time out Of her
money she found herself equally at

London or Rome On. one Of her latest
trips to Europe this unostentatious

which were piled sandwiches made OF

that Bohemian feasts were largely

MRS. Wyckoff put some of her
spare money into better stand
ard Of living and with the surplus she
began to dabbie in the stock market.
Her ventures were small, consistent
with her means. She never believed
in mortgaging property to get money
to speculate with.y Only money that
she could spare went to Wall street,
and this started her on ten-share
basis. She bought her stocks outright
and kept them until they showed a
material profit.
Her greatest Wall street successes
were. in two ventures, one in United
States Steel. the other in Amalgamat-
ed Copper. On each Of these specula-
tions she is credited with having made
half a million dollars. She bought
these stocks in 1907. the year Of the
great Northern Pacific panic. United
States Steel common had dropped to
SIS; Amalgamated Copper had shrunk
from 1876 to sS. Nobody needed to tell
Mrs. Wyckoff that the prices in Wall
street reflected the state of the mar
ket rather than the intrinsic value of
the securities. She knew that when
money fs plentiful stocks soar. when
money is scarce they decline. and that
when there was almost no money
they practically lost their market
value.
She had advisers-many of them.
They advised her not to buy these
stocks, predicting that the bottom
was about to fall out of everything.
Buying Amalgamated Copper. she was
told, was financial suicide. With ready
cash in her pocket and woman,s love
Of q bargain in her brain. she disre-
rarded the precepts Of her friends and
bought whatever looked attractive.
III Rockefeller can afford to buy

she said.

stocks, as most walltstreet purchasers
do. The wyckoff affairs had been put
