From Becoming charwoman.

From Becoming charwoman.
When the war work OF the Y. W. G.
A. in Russia has all been told one Of
the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Womens
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
Of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support Of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1t was problem to find where the
money would help the greatest mum
Der of people. 1t was thought best to
expend it to help capitalize organlza-
stions for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu.
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, etc,
in the rooms of the society or at home
Suitable work was found just in time
not long ago to keep the wife OF one Of
Russians greatest generals from going
out as chafwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was Ill.
