Mrs. Minar stated that property

of the Potomac.
!. Negotiations had been In progeoss
for about q year between Mr.. Letter
and Mrs. sMinar.. A. substantial
agreement was reached just prior
to the Christmas holidays, but q
conclusion Of the deal was delayed
first by the fact that Mr.. Letter
was leaving on a 60.day hunting trip
lin Louisiana and later because lis
presence in Chicago was required
by court and business matters. He
came to Washington two Weel-s ago
and at that time the final details
OF the transaction were agreed
upon.
The increasing time that Mr..
Letter has been compelled to spend
away from washington in recent
years decided him some time ago
to dispose Of his estate on the TO.

and business interests are well
known, but an eevnt of his career
nearly 80 years ago is perhaps best

Applies Housekeeping Methods
Long years Of housekeeping in her
own magnificent establishment in
East Sixty-First St., with a mil,
lionaire's household budget, have
trained Mrs. Pratt in matters finan.
cial. She scans the books of New
York's treasury and puts her fingers
on the waste Just as though she were
correcting butchers bill. She
makes a loud appeal to old Father
Knickerbocker to pull up his purse
strings, exactly as she might admon
ish her cook against extravaganza
''Why shouldn't women make good
public officials. where money is con-
cerned?" she asks. THE housewife s
time is largely given up to matters
of household economy, of getting the
most for her husbands money.
Instead Of being less apt at fig
ures, think women are better math-
ematicians than men, generally
speaking"
And yet, there is no question of
feminism in Mrs. Pratt's fight in the
council. ''I don't believe in making
issues out of sex" she says. II re-
gard people as human beings, not as
male and female.
II never worked for woman suf-
frage, but 1 have always voted since
it was granted. There are many
stumbling blocks ahead of women in

them.

'For one thing, women are ask

political efforts. No woman has
right to seek high office before she
has held low ones"

squelched all efforts to nominate her
