Yes, the cafe is lonesome place
these days. There are a few gray
bearded old men who play dominos
there in the afternoon and, on fine
Sundays, a sprinkling of family par
ties, children and all, drinking
sirops, or perhaps lunching at one
of the big tables. Yet old Paul, the
waiter, lowers the awning every
morning and raises it every evening
with religious regularity, and stands
all day in the doorway, his napkin
over his arm and the same ready
- o1j an bia foca
Only one customer is there of
whom he is sure. Every day, rain
or shine, at precisely 2 in the after
room, the old Pere Lemeunier ar
riyes to take his corner table in the
shelter Of the green glass wind
break at the end of the terraSse.
And always old Paul, with special
flourish of his napkin, and special
smile for his oldest customer, ad-
vances with the time honOred for
mula, which he has used with Pere
Lemeunier for dozen years:
What does Monsieur desire TO-
day? Is it that | may suggest
little coffee, perhaps"
And the old man replies as al
ways:
"Yes, my son, a coffee-and-
wait; / refect" -
Slowly he takes off his black straw
hat and gazes off across the Place,
his brows puckered in thought.
"Yes," he turns again to Paul,
';you may bring me cognac!"
"Bien, M'sieur." And the old Paul
hurries away on his daily incursion
into the cupboard where Pere Lem
eunier's special cognac is kept, fling
ing behind him a peremptory order
to the boy-t to fetch the coffee.
The old Lemeunier is snow white
of hair and full of years, but he
stands like a soldier, he wears the
ribbon of the Medal Of 1870 in his
buttonhole. and he was NJ. lie Marie
Tor many years. So there is none
to dispute his title to the corner
table, and no one passes the little
cafe who does not stop to give a good
day to him or tell him about the
latest letter from the trenches.

PETROGRAD Mrs. c.. Russian
People stands side by side with her
husband in this revolution. She
speaks at meetings, votes, leads and
writes for the scores of little news
papers that have sprung up all over
Russia, just as if she were an ordinary
male human being. In the simple,
child-like Russian mind, no question
seems to have arisen as to the rights
of women When I asked whether she
would vote in the new Russia. the
/ Russian women realized Immediately
that was either an Englishman or an
American.
Fight For Big Things
why there's no question about it, J"
said one Russian woman struggling
her shoulders. We've had bigger
things to fight for in Russia than the
right of women to vote. We've fought
side by side with the men for human
rights with no question of sex involv-
ed. We've gone to jail, and we've died
and we've even taken our turns at as
sassinations. Only an Anglo-Saxon,
if you'll pardon me for plain speak
ing, would think of raising such a /
question"
The answer was calculated to make I
an Anglo-Saxon feel like a wife-beat-
er.
All Had Been in Jail
II approached four of the women
who sat at the various committee ia
bles around the duma building. and
plainly put to each one of them this
question: {
Madame, have you ever been in |

They had-all four of them. They 6
