ENGLISH WOMAN'S IMPRESSION OF

LENINGRAD.

A NEW RELIGION EVOLVING?

STABILITY AND SECURITY, THE POPULAR NEED.

Russia is now the land of mystery. Everyone wants to know. the truth. Is it the place of misery, desolation and crime that many have described it, or is there something in the optimistic" enthusiasm of certain Sosialist visitors ?-accounts vary but the following impression of Leningrad, by Lady Muriel Paget, who worked in a Hospital there during the war and early Revelation days, has an honesty and impartiality that may help in forming a judgment of the true -petition.

Lady Muriel, it will be sean, halts cautiously between extreme opinions, but has a fixed belief that things are slowly tighting themselves, and sanity relarning, in the Muscovite Empire. The article is takon from a copy of the Daily Telegraph recently to -hand.

It was much more what I felt than what I saw that interested me. I seemed to be surrounded by ser ficting elemental powers, of which I only felt the reaction in an im- personal way. This senantion was much stronger than in hosmw, be cause Petrograd had been the centre of our hospital activities during the War and Revolution. The shadow of fear seemed to be aver every thing fear of the future, fear of

The same little collections of ikons, cheap jewellery, and old iron-mongery were displayed on the ground on Sunday morning in the market, with the difference that some of the sellers had known better days. My heart went out to a lady who must have been very beautiful at one time. She was sitting behind a little stall on which were set out some of her personal belongings, cut-glass battles from her dressing table and the like little things, of no great intrinsic value, but the parting from each one of them must have turt-

This was brought home to me when I visited the Palace that had been our hospital in Petrograd and found it being run as a people's club. There,, as I have said, in a recess at the end of the room which we had kept as a little chapel, and where there had bung an ikon, or religious picture, there was now a picture of Lenin. This practice of treating pictures of Lenin as ikone is now quite common; but whereas the ikons were lit up with pictures of Lenin are often lit by candles or little oil lamps, the electricity. This, I was told, was to symbolise the spirit of progress
