Compradors In China.

The comprador is an important fac
tor in the treaty ports of China. Many
large foreign firms are engaged in the
import and export trade at these ports
and each employs comprador, a
wealthy Chinese, whose business it is
to keep himself acquainted with the
Chinese merchants in the various lines
of trade in which his house is interest
ed, in Tientsin, Picking and the other
cities of north China. He receives a
commission on all that he buys or sells
for the firm. In return, if credit be
given to any Chinese shop or firm, the
comprador guarantees the obligation,
and if the shopkeeper does not pay at
the appointed time he must pay out
Of his own pocket.-Argonaut.

Women In Washington's PoIitico- SO
cia Set.

Women In Washington's PoItico- SO
cia Set.
1t is being said that the administra
ton of President Elect Wilson will b.
one of the most important politico-sO
cial regimes in the history Of the cap
ital. The women of the official set will
play very important role. not in {
| purely superficial social sense, but IL
much more subtle way. says Mary
| Kouncelor Brookes Women in off
| cialdom more and more are realizing
| that in their social life something more
potential than their own passing amuse
ment is involved.
1t so happens that the new admin
istratiOn will be supported by the ready
and intelligent aid of an unusual group
of women,
From all Indications Vice President
Marshall will be much closer to the
White House than has been any vice
president for many years. and it nat
urally follows that Mrs. Marshall will
be closely associated with the mistress
of the White House.
Washington is going to be very fond
of Mrs. Marshall. He has the person
atty and experience to assure her
great popularity. In the first place.
she is beautifully free from snobbish-
ness and has remained unspoiled from
her advancement as the wife of a
country lawyer to the first lady in In
diana and now to the second place
among American women. Being the
wife of the governor of Indiana is in
itself a responsible position, and Mrs.
Marshall during these four years has
evidenced social generalship and gra-
cious tact which assure her success in
her more important position.
But closer to the president than the
vice president will be Speaker Clark.
And quite naturally this means that
Mrs. Clark will be much in evidence in
the White House social program. Mrs.
Wilson's social menage could not re-
ceive better aid. No woman in Wash
ington is more deservedly popular than
Mrs. Clark. and her Wednesday after
noon TeceDIlOuS are lulOuSeu WIN
distinguished gathering of famous men
and women.
The third woman who will play a
part in the politico-social
regime is Mrs. Underwood. wife of the
affable door leader of Democracy and
chairman of the powerful ways and
means committee Mrs. Underwood
has lived IN Washington for a number
of years and has a strong following
among residential as well as official So
ciety. She is of an Alabama family OF
great wealth and is a musician of no
mean ability.
This year she has taken the house
Of the late Major Archie Butt and has
bad the place entirely done over. With |
such a charming home in which to re- |
,eive. Washington believes that Mrs.
intends to inaugurate a |
brilliant social program.
