or dipping their fingers into dishes to

Hardly a servant in the whole town
of Rostov, Miss Power says, could read
or write. But "iberty" was supposed
to level all distinctions, overnight, and to
"change all that" Much that the author
tells has been told many times before, but
what she writes is transcript of her own
first hand experiences, in which the war
itself has almost a secondary interest
Her testimony, therefore, may be re-

It is not true, as is generally believed,

household before and after the revolution
makes interesting reading. When Miss
Power first went to the Sabarofs she was
continually sorry for the servants, who
sometimes slept on the floor outside OF
their mistress's bedroom, or rolled up in
shawls in the kitchen, either on the floor,
or, at the best, the kitchen table. No
bedding was given to them for fear they
would sell it-as they doubtless would.
Miss Power describes the Sabarof SER
wants as conditions were when she first
lived in the home:
"The cook was called by her fellow
servants Little Mother the laundress
Aunt and the old nurse Grandmother
and they cuffed the young housemaids
and screamed at them till 1 sometimes
thought their lives must be hardly worth
living. There was a general understand
ing among them that the younger ones
should help their elders to cheat the master
and mistress, and should say nothing when
the laundress used the household soap for
washing her friends linen (at a fixed
price,, provided she occasionally ironed
a blouse or two for the girls. The cook
thought nothing Of telling her mistress
that food was double its actual price
and pocketing the extra money given her
to pay the market women. She kept the
younger servants tongues quiet by steal
ing for them and sometimes baking them
cakes. On the whole, they were pretty
well fed, thoughit was difficult to procure

best, and sometimes if one opened the

different from the earlier avalanche of
books on the subject is that it is an ac-
count of the revolution and the coming
into power of the Bolsheviki, not in Petro-
grad nor even in Moscow, but in the
south Russian Cossack town of Rostov-
on-the-Don.
Another thing that gives a special
value to Miss Powers book is that she did
not go to Russia as a correspondent, or
to write book about it, but, as she says,
to learn Russian and to teach English.
From early in the war until the Bolshevist
"reign of terror reached Rostov she
taught English to a young girl in a
wealthy bourgeois family of this town.
1t is curious to read that in Rostov the
European war was almost forgotten and
was hardly mentioned. Rostov bad
troubles of its own and wars of its own.
A good deal has been heard of the Red
army, but not SO much of the Dobrovol-
chesky army, the volunteer army of junk
ers and cadets, and the bloody civil war.
On some days there is no entry in Miss
Powers diary but 'Blood, blood, blood;
on others, an incident such as the fol-
lowing:
"Sad stories were told of young officers
who, In the absence of the Bolshevik of
fetal, and weary with waiting for death
end listening to the insults of the Red
Guard, themselves gave the order to shoot
and fell with swift sigh of relief Chill
dren saw their parents killed. Wives
begged in vain for their husbands lives.
The pathetic tale of a little cadet made
mothers realize that even the children
were not safe. The father of this little
boy was shot before his son, and when
the soldiers came up. to him the child
was trembling with fear. You can fol-
low your cursed parent they said as they
took his arm. Permit me to lie down,
said he, 4 am so weak So they shot
him as he lay on the ground"
1t may be imagined that in the days
this book describes, when it was a crime
to wear a hat instead of a shawl thrown
over the head, it was not exactly comfort

family. When she drove in a carriage
