Woman Speaks from
Her Experiences.

Eight months in stormy Russia has
been the experiences OF Miss Bessie
Beatty, as a representative Of . san
Francisco newspaper. The newspaper
woman spoke at the Woman's party
headquarters last night.
Russian women a. . whole diner
little from their American sisters,
she said. They are content to be the
BACKGROUND against which their men
folk play the exciting parts in life.
Confent to Pour Tea.
They are content to sit behind the
sanovar at the meetings OF the po-
Htical parties and pour tea They
enjoy wearing red bands on their
sleeves and ushering the members 70
their seats. They revel in doing the
necessary clerical work and all the
drudgery, in spite OF the fact that
since the inception of the revolution
they have been granted equal rights
and privileges with men.
There are a few women" she con-
tinued, who stand out from the mass
but they are the unusual types.
She mentioned four. and sketched
their romantic and often tragic his
tories. They are:, Nine. Breshko-
vasye, grandmother Of the revolu-
ton: Nine Botchkarova. leader OF
the Battalion Of Death: Marie spiri-
donova. the girl who shot the tyran-
nical governor. was exiled to Siberia
and who afterwards became leader OF
the Russian reyolutionists.
She poetieaily described the atti-
tude Of the Russian people towards
their revolution.
TrampIed Their Liberty.
The Russian people first looked
upon their revolution as a beautiful
butterfly. They dared not touch it
at first and watched in wonderment
its actions. After a while they be-
gan to brush the sheen from its
wings and finally trampled the beau-
tiful butterfly of freedom under
rough-shod feet"
Miss Beatty, representing the San
Franciscan Bulletin, was present at
the Winter Palace when the provis-
ional government was arrested at .
o'clock in the morning. She was
the only woman permitted aboard the
Russian feet since the revolution.
and one of the few women allowed
to visit the front lines Of the Rus
sian army.
