Two women kaT been Jflnlstera of
WelTar sine th rTolutlon Connt
s Fulm and Plain Citizen Alex
andra Kollentai. Both women I
know well and respect for widely dlf
lerent reason. Countess Panina wu in
Peter and Paul Fortress when 1 first
aw her. She, bad refused to hand orer
j:.00 In state funds that was In her
possessslon when the Bolshevlkl rame
Into power. Her trial was one of the
most sensational ever held before a
revolutionary tribunal and the decision
of the court that she should be siren
her liberty when the money was re
turned and then handed over to "the
contempt of the people" was remarka
bly characteristic of new Russia.
A youna- Ruswlan rirl and an actlre
worker In the Alsnshevtk party, who
at next la me durinr Panina'a trial,
mad an interesting comment on Pan
In. She said: -Yes. she really does
like poor people. She thinks they are
almost a rood S other people
This la fundamentally the difference
between Panina and Kollentai. and the
reason why one is much loved and the
other has been swept aside in the pub
lic regard after the harsh test or revo
lution.
Paaraa Like Jaae Addassa.
And yet thero are flno things about
Panina. As a liberal she did much for
atruKKlinc Russia in the time of the
'nr. Her Xorodny Dome People's
House which was known as Orafnla
Panina. waa the only Norodny Dome in
Russia where rood concert were cheap
nn:r k for the masses to attend. Che
was never afraid to undertake new and
Bard tasks. It was she who introduced
nnnnl.r lertnres and adult schools. If
all tha members of her party (Cadets)
had been tip to her standard they would
never have fallen Into thir present
direDUte. I -en in In one of his pam
r-hlets calls her "one of the cleverest
rfvrenriere of tha ranitallst system.'
In appearance Panina reminds on of
Jan Addama. Sh Is mldflle-asjea ana
weara severe EnKlish-looklnc clothes.
But somehow her clothes are not at all
consistent with her character. 8h Is
so fmy and amuslns; and she loves to
tell furrny anecdotea of the revolution.
Panina consider Kollentai her bit
terest political opponent. In July Kol
lentai was !i Ft. Teter and Paul, and
Panina was Minister of Welfare. In
October thlnrs wera reversed. "I fol
lowed her with a real pleasure." aald
Panina. lanchina".

Th Bolshevlkl are by no means all
rnlstarta. aha once told me. "Now
taka for example Madama Sumonsen,
who was arrested in July for Implies
tion In tha Bolshevik plot. She was
rlrh woman, who was thrilled with the
mad adventures proposed bv these rad
rals. While I was In prison I came
across tha weirdest performances of
this creature.
"In my cell I had many books, and
when I waa alven my liberty I hesjan
t rather my thlnas toa-ether. "Well.
yott see. I said to one of the Bolshevik
rflrers. that's what ou net for m

-He was not at all Impressed. Why.
when Madama Sumonsen left.' he aald.
"she had to have a whole truck to carry
her belonetnsja and even that a as not
enonch. It was necessary to make a
second trip. Besides, jou never had
moon."
"""A moon?" T asked, puxiled.
"Te" ha explained, sh fitted her
cell up with pink satin and wore pink
itln robes and had lace covers on her
cot. In one corner he had an arrange
ment that looked like the moon In i
sue set. throuah which shone a shad
ed electric Iisht. In the evening she
"aould II bark on the satin cushions
and tha aoldiera and guards would come
in and she would discourse cleverly on
literature and art Just Ilka a courts

Only In ltns! could such an ex
traordtnary -Arabian Nlchta" tale be

lh began to rage against Kollentai.
"1. mvself. am frantically democratic"'
aha exclaimed. "Hut being democratic
and being practical are two very dif
ferent things. All the reforms Kollentai
slll make now will be at the expense
of Russia's unfortunates. The people
"silt pay for these experiments with
their lives." I wanted to remind her
that this was true slso In her ttm. but
ana waa unreasonsble on any subject
that had to do with Kollentai. Jhe once
s-vtd: "I blame her fr the massacre of
th officer and not the poor sailors
and soldiers." which was surely a
ridiculously unjust attitude.
-This absurd Madame Kollentai." she
said. "Invites. th servants to come and
sit en armchairs at her meetings. Such
things cannot he! What can they know
of socisl reforms or of technical train
ing? It Is putting the fret up aud t law
head down, quite mechanically.
Just how well Kollentai did succeed
with her servants and her new methods
1 will explain In the next article.
-I cannot understand." I said to Pan
ina. "how you can love Russia so much
and still taka part In this terrible
sabotaging. To me the sabotsgers are
equal to the Invading Germans as en
emies of tha Russian people."
Panina evaded. "Anyway." aha aald.
"it haa been far from successful. There
waa nothlns; very spontaneous about. It.
The.very fact that we wera rulnins; tha
country and knew It mad us half
hearted. All of us had to halt some
where, so there waa no thoroughness
about It. I. for Instance, objected to
sobotaging In the schools. As you know,
the teachers' strike lasted only three
days. Kducation haa always been my
work. To close th schools waa pun
ishing the people for willfulness by ad
ministering darkness. I felt' they
needed light more than anything else.
I found myself going around arguing
that tha schools wera not a point in
question. So that when you coma right
down to It I am not very much of a
sabotager."
"On what points do you disagree with
the Bolshevlkl?" I asked.
-I disagree with them on every
point." ahe cried, "and I think that
their leaders are disgusting."
"But you think that they are hon
est r
Asaerieaaa Called Bolshevlkl. ,
I know several that are honest,"
she admitted reluctantly.
-And they treated you well while
you were in prison?"
"Yes. they treated ma exceptionally
well, but the decision of the Revolu
tionary Tribunal waa not tha decision
of educated persons; it waa absurd
from a Judicial point of view."
"What will your party do to over
throw the present regime?"
"What can we do?" said Panina help
lessly. "At present the Bolshviki have
the army and most of the workers and
peasants. We must be silent and wait."
I shouldn t think you would want to
do anything if the Bolshevlkl and the
soviet government are really then the
expression of the majority of the Rus
sian people."
We were sitting on a couch In Pani
na s library- She reached over Impul
sively and took hold of my arm.
Listen, ahe said, "you are Just nat
urally a Bolshevik. All Americans are!
I can never understand why."
Countess Pauina speaks six lan
guages and she owns one of the best
private libraries in Russia. She was
a nominee for the constituent assembly.
has been a member of the city duma of
Petrograd and Minister of Welfare.
This last office is one of the biggest
political Jobs ever held by a woman In

aa to cultivate health for lener life, happiness and contentment.
If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon or the sudden attack
of lumbago or rheumatism, if we want to increase our chances for long
life Dr. Pierce says: "Keep the kidneys m good order! Try to"
eliminate through the skin and intestines th poisons that otherwise clog
the kidneys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much
salt alcohol tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
obtain Anunc, double strength, at druggists, and exercise so you per
spire the skin helps to eliminate toxic poisons and uric acid."
For those past middle hie, tor those easily recognized symptoms
of inflammation, as backache, scalding "water," or if uric acid in the J
blood has caused rheumatism, rusty joints, stiffness, get Anunc at
the drug store for 60c or send Dr. Pierce, Invalids Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for trial pkg. You will find Anuric many
times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water
