FARMERS' LINE DEPARTMENT IS SHREWD BUSINESS WOMAN Mrs. Frank Hing of Nsw York Has Been Sgcc???ful In Aooumulat* Ing American Dollar* Waiting on customers with an Ori ental charm and politeness that dally wins new patrons to ber laundry In Hleeknr street, Mrs. Frank Hing. daughter of the Flowery Kingdom, is rapidly accumulating American dol lars that are estimated already to reach into the thousand*. Mrs. Hing, who is a fine specimen of the Chinese matron of middle age, Is# militant suffragist of the most pro nounced type; Hhe is an advocate of "votes for women," and points with pride to the action of the new Chi nese assembly in granting suffrage to her sisters in China. The first Chinese business woman 111 N?<w York city, and probably in thiH country, came to the United States only two years ago. Quickly acquired a | speaking knowledge of the EpgltBh language, and by reason of her Ape aptitude for business was speedily el< evatcd by her husband to take full oharge of the laundry. Mrs. Hing receives the laundry pack ages. gives out the checks, receives the money, pays the bills, and her hus band stands over the washtub and cooks the meals in a rear room, as sisted by 'an 18-year-old son. Soon after Mrs. Hing assumed charge of the business she began to buy and sell second-hand clothing. All day long, and even into the late hours of the night, men who are in I: trouble financially can be seen enter ing the laundry to part with wearing apparel in order to raise money to eat and to pay for a night's lodging. Many of these come from the large men's hotel across the street. In all such transactions Mrs. Hing takes ad vantage of their plight with Chinese cunning and gets for a trifling cost garments that are renovated and aft erward sold at a big profit. ?
