WOMAN Makes
SUCCESS Of
BUSINESS
Miss Pauline Walters Finds
Realty Field Fruitful for
Her Talents.

Washington seems to have more
than it's share of brilliant women In
business, and this trend is reflected
to a marked degree in the real
estate profession.
Among the successful women real
estate operators is Miss Pauline
Walters, with offices at 145O Irving
street northwest.
Miss Walters spent several years
studying the real estate business
and achieved the remarkable sales
figure of 100000 the first month
she opened her offices, these deals
all being located within one DIocK
of her place of business.
She believes, like the majority OF
Washingtonians who are able &c
feel the pulse of business life, thai
the future of this city is boundless
and that the possibilities in rea
estate are unlimited, especially In
the Fourteenth street and Park
road section.
Miss Walters has coined the
unique term of "Realtress" to desig
nate those of her sex who are en-
gagged in this fascinating profession
Miss Walters increased her sales
force from one to four in the past
two months. E. Catisby Rowzie
who has had eighteen years ex
perience with three different firms
is her sales manager.

LURING HOME
SEEKERS
Two Homes Are Nearing Com

Broken for Third.

~ Home building on a large scale
is to begin at once in Lee Heights,
the Arlington county suburb just
placed on the market by Mrs. Ruby
Lee Minar, Washington real estate
woman.
Mrs. Minar reports that two new
homes-one built by e. P. Shep-
pard and the other by Mrs. <Sumner
Perkins-are now nearing compile
ton, and that ground has been
broken for a new eight-room and
two-bath home by. Mrs. Lucy B.
Watts. The Watts dwelling will be
situated on the Country Club road
near Lee highway.
Contracts to Build.
Contracts are being let for nine
other homes, making twelve in all
at the opening of the subdivision.
Some will be on the boulevard pass
ing the Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club, and others will be on one
of the wooded hillsides.
Among those who have purchased
land with the intention of building
this year are: Mrs. Fanny Carpenter
Hall, S. w. Hayward, Richard T.
Love, Miss Mary L. Shoenberger,
Mrs. L. G. Hite, Mrs. Ranouhi Null
len, Homer Klein, Richard L. King

Location of Suburbs.
Lee Heights is reached by way
of Georgetown. the new Key Bridge
and the Lee highway. 1t was
selected by Mrs. Minar because of
its nearness to town, it's beauty and
unusual altitude, this section having
an elevation above Washington of
800 to 400 feet. The grounds of
the Washington Golf and Country
Club adjoin on the north.

VALUE Of READY
GUT HOME TO
BE SHOWN:
Demonstration Begun by Lewis
Company to Prove Value
of Plan.

MANY arguments have been made
for and against the "ready-cut"
method of home building. That the
general public may have an oppor-
tunity to Judge for themselves the
merits of this method of building,
Guy S. Zepp. local manager for the
Lewis Manufacturing Company will
stage an exhibition construction OF
one of the Lewis built homes. The
house, picked at random, is OF
Dutch colonial design and is listed
in the Lewis catalogue as the
Shelbourne. This house will be
erected on Northampton street be-
tween Broad Branch road and Ne
vada avenue.
Many builders argue there Is no
material saving in the carpenters,
especially demonstrate this point,
the entire amount of carpenter
work on this house will be done
by two carpenters, assisted by one
experienced sorter. OF course, these
carpenters are experienced in ready
cut" construction, but not any more
so than any other intelligent car
penter with a few weeks expe-
rience.
Because of the number of Lewis
built homes being erected, Mr..
Zepp is able to get estimates from
sub-contractors on Quantity basis.
The owner acts as his own builder
in each case. The construction of
the house is put under the foreman
ship Of the head carpenter, who
should be a practical ready cut"
man. The foundation work, the
plumbing. heating, plastering, ETC.,
is subbed out to the lowest res
ponsible bidder, and each operation
gets a certain amount of personal
supervision by Mr.. Zepp.
In this way, the home builder
gets the maximum amount OF
house for a minimum outlay. A
number of Mr.. Zepp's clients have
adopted this plan recently, and
1t is working SO satisfactorily that
Mr.. Zepp is taking this way to
demonstrate its merits to the pub
lie.
Fulton r. Gordon, who has de.
veloped nearly all of Chevy Chase,
has volunteered to act as referee,
to note progress each day. and
to keep a record Of time and costs
during the erection of this house.
