THR BARONESS DE'HUECK
A lecture replete with most inter-
esting and thrilling stories, was giv-
en
iv en in the Town Hall on Wednesday
evening, April 8th., under the auspic- , r.{
es of the Collegiate Institute. The
Baroness is a .woman of considerable >,
personal charm, fine platform .mann-
ers and a very ready utterance.
In her address of nearly one hour
she gave a full description of Russian
habits' and .manners. She told of the
outbreak of the war, of the deception
by the Russian Officials, and the fin-
al control of the country by the com-
munist party. It seems almost im-
possible that such vital and. drastic
changes could take place in any teed
as took place in Russia during the
days immediately foliowing this
movement. She described what took '.
place in the hospitals, in the banks
and inn, all places of business.. The
rise of the prices of food stuff is al-
most unbelieveable, bread $e.00 a lb.,
sugar the same, meat almost prohiba-
tive, and this prevailed throughout(`
the empire.
