body a generation ago would have be-
lieved that before the Goth century was
two years old three fast trains a week
would be running between far-off
Irkutsk and st. Petersburg, and not
merely ordinary trains, but elegant
ones with dining cars, baths, barber
shop and library.
That they are well patronized is
shown by a notice in the timetable
warning travellers to engage compart-
ments or seats on the train a day in
advance.
First-class fare from Irkutsk to St.
Petersburg is only $62.57. The sleeper
costs $11. GO for the journey. BY travel

planned to him about her fears and
