Staff Correspondence.
PKTHOGUAn, Russia, March 15.
Mnrlo Nlcholovna met tho train
that brought me to the Russian cap
Hol. I had seen her Inst In London,
n typical Russlnn Indy, somewhat,
Inxy, decidedly luxurious and not a
little self-centered.
Now nho came down the station
platform cloaked In gray serge, her
graceful head veiled like a nun's
for even tho empress, her daughters
and all the grand duchesses now arc
wearing this costume.
"Mario Nlcholovna explain this
dres?"
"('all It nn outward sign of an In
ward ehnnso!" she suggested.
"Does the uniform Indicate wlmt
Russian fashionables aro wearing?"
"Sar. rather what Russian Women
nre thinking."
Below In the Norsk I Prospect, the
chief thoroughfare of Petrograd and
one of tho finest streets In Europe,
companies of new recruits dragged
quaint kit boxes over tho snow, hun
dreds of soldiers In kneeboots and
long gray coats thronged tho broad
pavements and scores of women In
red cross cloaks and nun-llko veils
hurried to or from military hospitals.
It was Impossible to distinguish
princess from peasant for both wore
bluo checked apron sand heavy wool
en gloves.
"You see," observed Marie Nlch-
olovna, "tho bar has waked us up.
In tho old days everything happened
at night, so wo naturally slept half
the days. There were the court and
tho great landowners and half a mil
lion relatively prosperous people.
"I confess that wo women lived
like orchids shut away from tho win
ter cold, nut you must admit that
even with rurs Russia lias a pitiless
winter climate. It is because wo saw
little of cvery-day llfo that we for
got thoro aro peoplo that havo no
furs. t
"Tho war found us unprepared.
Mother Russia always pays dearly for
being unready. It will take a year
to get our fighting forces organlxed.
nut even now Russian armies havo
invaded Austria and Germany at six
points and, and the war has In
vaded our lives for wo women aro
thinking.
"In the beginning when our troops
crossed the frontier, wo women fled
to tho churches for comfort In re
ligion. It was all so sudden, so ter
rible. Wo could still fell tho last
kisses of our men folk on our lips.
They say that French women did
the same, and Serbians and Austrlans
and Germans. Poor souls, of course
they love their men too! Tho Eng
lish women wo do not know about.
They do not toll.
"After tho first shock wo real
ized that there can bo no faith with
out works. So we began to organize.
In tho most disorderly country on
earth women began to organize. How
else could we do our share?
"Tho empress, her daughters, all
tho women of the Imperial family,
are working, actually working, In
hospitals. Tho Grand Duchess Vlad
imir has 50 princesses nursing on
the ambulance trains, tho Grand
Duchess Sorgo directs hundreds of
women In red cross dispensaries.
"Hero in Petrograd, more than
1000 miles from tho front, 10,000
womeii volunteered for any service.
It did not matter at all which knew
how to read or write as long as they
could do tho work. I am on tho con
valescent "corps. Fifteen hundred of
us report In uniform dally at 9:00
o'clock In tho morning.
"Wo cannot let sick soldiers return
to tenements which no ono has In
spected their wounds would novor
heal. Hut when wo see horrible hov
els wo begin to ask 'What of tho
women aud children who must live
thoro?'
"I asked Prlnco Oblonsky, Grado
nachallnk of Petrograd, who was to
blame for tho existence of such lairs
and ho pleaded Ignoranco, Well, If
ho does not know why Is ho general
mayor of tho city? Onco wo women
havo something to say there will bo
another typo of general mayor.
"Yes, I know how strango this
must sound but do yoti know that
half tho babies born in such places
dio whllo still Httlo children. Why?
None of my friends lose their bab
ies. And the poor, poor mothers aro
so eager that we other women ad
vise them. How gladly wo would if
we could,
"We women thought to help In the
red cross and we discovered tho war
that Is behind war."
".Marie Nlcholovna, this time next
year you and your 1500 will be de
manding a vote!"
"Well, why do you laugh?" In
quired Mario Nlcholovna. "Stranger
things mny Imjinen, Wo miiy ovon

and how it actually works for you
-
The active principle o! Gold Dust is a valuable antiseptic
cleansing agent.
It actually works. It gets into the little corners and
crevices where fingers and washcloths can't reach.
It permeates and dissolves dirt, grease
and grime everywhere and it cleans and
brightens everything.
Use Gold Dust not only for washing dishes, but
(or washing bathtubs and bathroom fixtures,
scrubbing floors, washing woodwork, cleaning
and freshening linoleum and oilcloth, cleaning
and brightening pots, pana and cooking utentili,
giving luster to glasaware In ihort, for say and
