Is Gentleman.
The Russian officer is a gentleman.
But what Is more, he is a gentleman au
naturel. He is a man as well as a gen
ueman. and his gentlemanliness is Of the
rich luster of the polish that only
rough surface can take. He IS without
trace Of affectation or pose. In all
the Russian officers 1 have met have
never encountered a single example of
the dandy-the curIed darling OF the
fashionable regiments OF the ornamental
armies.
Perhaps it is because there are toe
many Of him for him to regard himself
as class apart. The officers Of any

America and Russia.
The Russian army officer IS very much
like the American army officer. Ridicu-
lous anomaly that anything in the great
Western democracy should seem to bear
a resemblance 10 anything in the great
Eastern autocracy. But IL IS true.
Although in the United states there
is not much Of an army for 4 man TO
belong to, while In Russia there is not
much else. soldering in the two coun-
tries has at least this much IN common
that in both II offers a career which
the man Of enterprise and ambition need
not despise.

In America Il is sufficiently well PAID
TO make IL worth the while OF the COM
petent man whom the limitations of
commercial life do not satisfy. IN Rus
STA. as yet, the commercial life does not
provide the same kind Of man with op-
portunities sufficient to appeal to his
Imagination.
Business In Russia is in fits infancy
still. The associations Of serfdom still
cling to it. A merchant, though prosper
Gus to the English or American degree,
has no place IN the larger life OF the
nation. A manufacturer, though he
controls a vast enterprise which adds
enormously to the national wealth, Is
without standing or recognition, except
among his own class.
In fact, the greater his commercial
success, the greater suspicion that his
father was a peasant, a Jew, or a for

San Francisco Town Talk
There has been a good deal of quiet
laughter in Berkeley over a mistake made
by the guests at a luncheon given by a
young bride the other day to the attend
ants at her wedding. 1t seems that the
young woman had among her presents a
particularly beautiful set of spoons and.
rs she had no occasion TO use them at this
particular luncheon, she bethought her
that, as they were so soul-satisfying. she
would put one at each plate for-well, Just

that assembled at the round table ali but

another OF the guests cried out In admira-

entirely for ornament, a bright thought
flashed across the mind of a bridesmaid: :

Shopping Suggestions.

About the prettiest salad plates shown
this season are those Of pale green. shaped
like a lettuce leaf and resembling very
closely the crisp, crinkled leaves. The plates
are not at all expensive, but they are daln-
tier than many higher-priced ones.
The punches of millinery violets that al
ways appear in late winter have arrived,
and are much in evidence in shop cases and
on winter hats. They give a touch Of
spring to the winter headgear which is
welcome sight at this time o year.
Whole shirtwaist suits will be made of the
soft white china silk for summer wear, and
there will be nothing much prettier in the
summer girls wardrobe The silk washes
well, yet retains its freshness, that 1t
does not require too frequent doing up.
Brown wells retain much of their popu-
larity, and the most favored are those of net
in heavy mesh. One of the net wells has
an inch-wide border OF brown satin, and a
little higher is set a very narrow band of the
satin, while between is a row of big chenille
dots.
White china silk waists will be extremely
