THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
BOLSHEVISTS REPLACE ARISTOCRACY (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) PARIS, December 23. The Bolshevik reversal of the social order is being amusingly emphasised. A party of the Soviet Embassy staff gathered at the Russian Club at Montmarte, and brought champagne for ex-officers in the late Tsar’s army, who are now professional cabaret dancers. Another incident recorded is that Madame Krassin went to buy Embassy dresses at a fashionable modiste’s, whose saleswomen are mostly ex-Russia aristocrats. They refused sendee to Madame Krassin, who was forced to shop elsewhere.
