but sort of a-kind Of a--you know

Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Benson. Does
madam dress you? never should have
dreamed it, Not that mind it in the
least; you see, our figures are so differ
ent. Tell me, is she as good for fat
that is to say, plump-hgures as she is
for slim ones?
Ny dear, | came home from my war
work in Paris with the sweetest "vic-
tory" frocks, and Harry refuses to let
me wear them. He says he won't have
his wife look as if she was entered for a
sack race, and if this is sample of the
joys Of victory he prefers a renewal of
hostilities. / never dreamed that he
could be such brute He says if he
had wished to walk up Fifth Avenue
with a woman that moves along like Il
mechanical toy he would have married
Japanese.
Now, madam, you know that | never
wear brown. 1t simply kills my hair.
And the style isn't what | want either.

II am glad to see you here, dear
lady," she said. "You come to me for
message to the women who read your
paper, is it not so? Sit down, dear lady,
and let me find my spectacles, for am
truly an old, old woman, and I cannot
see your face as would wish"
Women, women," she continued,
after she had adjusted her silver-rimmed
spectacles, "I love them all! Love them,
love them! They are wonderful, your
American women. But the women of my
country! They are wonderful, too. You
do not know them yet, but you will see
when all the trouble is over, and they
will surprise you. There is nothing that
they cannot do - the Russian women.
See what they have done while our men
were away fighting. They have carried
on all the industries of the country. The
educated women of Russia are on equal
footing with the men to-day. All the
professions are open to them--law,
medicine, architecture, engineering -
they can enter every one. The revolution
did that for them"
She paused, and seized my hand, and
an lndescribable expression came into her
clear blue eyes, and again L thought Of

answer.
At $50 we said goodby to Bobby
and his father, and Elizabeth went to
the kitchen to give Annie her orders
for the day. At 8 we left the house
with our golf bags over our arms and
went up to the club and played eighteen
holes before lunch. I began to feel as

The third morning Of my visit I was
much surprised to see a strange maid in
the dining room when | came in a few
minutes late for breakfast.
"Well," ! thought, ''here it begins
again. Annie has gone and this is new
maid-probably she won't stay, and my
happy, restful time will be over"
AS soon as | could, ! asked Elizabeth
why Annie had left.
Elizabeth laughed "Anne hasn't
left" she said, "this is her day off duty
and that is the laundress who served
breakfast. She does the washing the
day Annie isn't here, so ! am not alone.
''I pay her 1925 DAY. By using the

"No,' Elizabeth responded quickly.

care OF restraint, may in the future
poison not only the life of Russia, bat
of the whole civilized world. Russia has
enough land on which to erect homes
for these children, and she has the ma
terial at hand with which to build them,
but we need capital to buy school furni-
ture and books, equipment for the work
shops, to pay the salaries of the people
who are to teach and take care Of these
children and this money must come
from America"
Think Of the indomitabe spirit of
this little woman, "the grandmother Of
the Russian revolution. After thirty
five years spent in the prisons and mines
of darkest Siberia, freed when the rule
Of the Gar was overthrown, but only
safe for a few weeks, condemned to
death by the Bolsheviki, hidden by

six hundred miles, finally making her
escape to America, with one aim in life
the same aim that sent her back To
prison again and again-the education
and Improvement Of her country people.
Her back is bent from the years
of hard labor, her hands are gnarled and
rough, her face scanned with lines. but
the indomitable courage and spirit of
her refuses to succumb to physical weak
ness, and she tolls on, despite her sew
