Frequently Nicholas has re- turned from the front, eager for a square meal, only to find that the cooks in half our palaces have taken French leave. We sometimes have to ride two or three hundred miles before we can find one of our palaces that has a cook capable of opening a bucket of cav1are. My nerves are in tatters, my dear. All tolr eleven thousand eight hundred and fifty nine servants have left me this year. Seven hundred and three got roaring drunk and had to be fred One hum dred and three blew themselves up while taking bombs out of the mail boxes, three hundred and eighty seven got sick or broke a leg or something. and the rest just quit. Sometimes I wish that the sale of vodka had not going out and drinking myself into a stupor.
 If you have four of five hundred good cooks that you don't need at this writing wish that you'd loan them to me until the war is over. Your Iov- ing cousin, Alexandrevaa. Czarina of All the Russias.-K. L. R. Life).
