Lucky Women Speculators.

“Lucky real-estate speculations are not confined to men in Pittsburg,” said a real-estate agent. “There is one lady in this city who has built and sold more houses in the last three or four years than any one else in the business. She seems most fortunate in her speculations, and often when others, who consider themselves better versed in property, have advised her not to make a venture, she has gone against them, following her own judgment, and, strangely enough, has always succeeded. She has never been known to make a losing deal, and her reputation for good, sound judgment hai caused many persons anxious to invest in dirt and bricks about the city to consult her. I knew of another very lucky woman who is making much money in real-estate deals. She is a typewriter on Fourth avenue and started speculating by selling some lots which were left her by a relative. With this money she bought other property. This she sold at an increase, and so she went on buying and selling until to-day she has nearly 810,000 to her credit. This sum she has amassed in three years, with no capital to start with but two lots, worth, possibly, S2OO. There are many other like instances of lucky women in Pittsburg.”—Pittsburg Dispatch.
