their way into the living

possible to bring the second

sofa and yet not interfere
with the picture window view

A small variation on this
idea are the numbers of
benches newly shown. These
work particularly well when
used along a long window

houses. On other occasions

floor console tables. Pulled
out in front, they can con-
vert the console into a table
for-two for snacks.
Single small stools are
similarly flexible in today's
decorating schemes. Some of
the more usable of these have
removable cushions so that
they can serve as either extra
seats or extra tables. Also in
vogue are piles of three pill
lows with castors on the
bottom so they can slide
across the floor to any posi-
tion desired. All of these
backleSS seats are not only
wonderful additions for party
occasions, they also are dec
oratively desirable in today's
low ceiliilged rooms.

We entered an enormous
hall, which veered off to a
smaller one on the left with
hooks for clothes and a large
mirror on the wall. The bath
room was also large, and
contrary to some United
States guidebooks, there was
a stopper for the bath tub.
and soap. The living room
was also large. with three
large double glass windows
the double glass for pro-
lection against the bitter cold
of winter. The upholstery was
again red plush, the chairs
and sofa were Victorian in
style, and the rug was a red
Oriental style.
Winter Scene
On the wall hung a bright
blue and white painting of
a peasant bringing in a load
of wood on a sleigh. The
frame was a glaring gold. A
brightly polished blond wood
partition divided the living
room from the sleeping quar-
tiers. The beds were modern
in style. twin-sized. A modern
vanity-type dresser and a
table stood in the corner of
the sleeping room. There we're
bedside tables. reading lamps
and ash trays.
Most guide books published
in the United States today
say that room service may be
difficult. 1t is, to a certain ex-
tent, but not as difficult as
we had been led to believe.
The first morning we tried
Russian phrases, which
worked; then, that night there
was an English-Speaking oper-
ator and someone who spoke
English in room service. Once
we asked our guide the word
for orange in Russian, since
we wanted oranges or orange
juice. She replied "appelsiini,"
the same as the Finnish word
(there are close variations Of
this word throughout Scan
dinavia). But when we tried
"appelsiini" for orange juice,
we got apple juice. When we
tried orange juice in English,
we finally got it. Most of the
time, we got what we ordered.

We Meet Our Guide
We met our Intourist guide
for the city early the next
morning. She did not smile at
first, instead she frowned
slightly behind her glasses.
She looked very young. she
was dressed simply and when
took another look at her
saw she was small, almost
fragile and that the bone
structure of her face was
lovely.
She had learned her Eng
lish at Leningrad University
and also specialized in Ger
man. Her English was excel
lent, although when we
parted she said: Perhaps
when you come back to Len
ingrad my English will be i'm
proved"

It is 10:40 and the train
is not due in the station until
IL. So, we wait a few minutes
along a siding. and then, only
then, on go the lights.
AS we leave the train, we
notice the huge crowd in the
Moscow Station. Is there
something special? No. APP
parently, as people keep NOV
ing. People of all national
tiles, moving, pushing, carry
ing baggage - Europeans.
Africans, Asians. Where are
they going at this time of
evening?
Even though an Intourist
guide is escorting us. it is
difficult to keep up with him
because of the crowd. Some
of them are boarding the
train we have left, which con-
tinues on to Moscow, but
what about the others. Where
is this crowd going?
There is a car waiting and
another Intourist guide, who
tells us that we are to stay
at the Europa. An American
from California protests that
the Astoria is better and that
he had de luxe accommoda-
tionS. 1--WE all have de luxe
accommodations on that carr
They are both de luxe" says
the IntouriSt guide, diSmissing
the Californian, who con-
tinues to argue that he wants
to go to the Astoria. We stay
at the Europa and eat at the
Astoria-the daily ration of
food coupons are good at both
hotels. Both are huge, ornate
and old-fashioned by Ameri-
can and European standards.
Next morning, we meet the
Californian in the lobby and
find that he has a gigantic
suite in the Europa.
First Taste
In spite of the midnight
hour, Intourist is open, and
first we check in at their
desk at the hotel. The chauf-
feur-driven Volga has taken
us to the hotel, and it is here
that we get our first taste of
what CZarist Russia must
have been like, as the lobby
is immense, with corridors
leading off through its large
marble columns.
There is much plush and
gold. and Empire chairs in
front of the Intourist desk.
Intourist officials ask for our
passports and give us our food

At the time we registered
with Intourist, we asked for
ballet tickets. Winter is the
best ballet season. although
some of the smaller COM

YCAXA NEVER COMPLAINS

NEW YORK (P)-Manny Ycaza,
23-year-old Panamanian jockey, has
lost 37S riding days in this country
since he came here in 1857 but he
has never complained about the
stewards dulings which generally
are the result of over-zealous rid
ing by Ycaza.
In 1857, Ycaza received 130 days
Of suspensions. In 1858 it was 10
days, As in 1859 and 25 in 1860.
For a while he seemed to be i'm
proving on his riding tactics
In 1861, YcaZa was suspended 5
days at Santa Anita, % at Hialeah,
10 days in New York in June, 10
more in October and 20 days at the
fall Aqueduct meeting.
