1t has just become known the Countess
Rada is scrubbing stairways in one OF
the city prisons. Count Julius Szech-
enyi, aged ninety, formerly master OF
the Kings horse, is one of those who
have incurred the displeasure of the
ruling forces. In spite of his age, ne
has been forcibly removed from his
home and imprisoned. What dispo-

ordered Inc executed.
Every room in the handsome marble
palace of Count Louis Karolyi, the for
mer Austrian ambassador to London,
is occupied by some one of the vaunted
proletariat with such results as might
be expected. Stovepipes stick from
the lace-curtained windows, and the
s~ilk-covered walls are smoky, grimy
and greasy. Protective covers have
been torn from rich divans and n
some chairs to be- used for dishrags.
Costly bronzes, Clipped and mutilated,
are being used as playthings by the
proletarian children.
1T is the same in the handsome resi-
dence of Count Andrassy next door,
where squalor and dirt r rapidly re-
