TIMES ARE CHANGING

A real estate operator in New York
city has within few days purchas-
ed property to the value of ten mil
lions in what was once. and that not
long ago, the most exclusive resi-
Dental part of the city. Included In
these purchases is that of the white
marble palace of the Astors, where
Mrs. Astor, when the reigning So
ciety queen of the metropolis, once
entertained so lavishly. This is to
be replaced by an apartment hotel.
All this is nowise surprising, neith-
er, possibly. is the fact that the
operator came from Poland to this
country "a years ago without money
to pay the rent and entered upon the
vocation of house painting.
We trust no one will get the idea
that to accumulate wealth 1t is nee
essary to come from some foreign
country and settle down to grubbing
in a congested center Of the new
worlds activities. Anyhow, living in
some Of these apartment hotels
would have taxed the resources Of
the early rich in this country.
