O'Neill Sees Big Future In Enterprise at Atlantic City Atlantic City, March 14, Atlantic City's youngest wartime feminine real estate operator Is making good. She Is Miss Mary C. O'Neill, of Chel sea, who hit upon real estate as a career for two reasons. The first was be cause many young men training here for tho business have either enlisted for the grand adventure across tho sea or been called to the colors under the selective service act. Tho other, and more Im pelling, was that she "felt a call" to demonstrate that a woman can make good In a difficult field. "Having atudled the field from several angles, I camo to the conclusion that there Is no reason why a young woman should not be as much of a success In the rental and sale of real f tate as nt the bar or In the practlco of medicine," she said today. "I did not decide hastily, for I renllced that there Is n wholo lot more to the business than simply being able to talk n client Into taking a house for n few months' occupancy. I want to know all about selling real estato as well, and that Includen nlmlv of th law respecting titles, taxation and many other questions." Miss O'Neill, who has an optimistic) temperament and no end of energy and Inltlttve, has a lucrative field in Chel sea and Ventnor, where hundreds of rhlladelphtans rent spring nnd summer domiciles because It Is the right thing 10 live in a insnionauie quarter. htio owns ir isM IHTrHIi' 1 MISS MARY C.
