husband, after one OF his lucky deals, with the
strict Injunction that she should hold on 20 them

hepmate. In the course OF time the speculator

between a wellbeing that is foreign and a want

as impossible as IL is merciless. There is
a distinct alliance OF roughbess and semi-culture
between the rich merchant, who does business
daily In the White Town. and the wretched street
vendor, whom he passes on his way dozen times;
yet the two farther apart than the poorest and
the richest classes In Western Europe. Moreover,
poverty Is so unspeakably miserable In Moscow
That it seems TO be the characteristic rather OF
distinct species OF the animal man than OF any
particular layer OF the population. The streets
daily yield figures which can only on general prn-
ciples OF anthropology be called human. The eye
diyentangles face from these moving masses OF
