MADAMS KRASSIN

It is just a little difficult to tell how far prejudice against everything Russian will affect Madame Krass'in's book, just published, of her husband's, life and relationships with the Soviet. Thev were both most interesting personalities, and M. Krassin had an extremclv difficult task set him when he was sent to London as Russia's representative in matters of trade. The fact that he was a sick man did not make things easier. Ma dame Krassin made an impression- upon social and diplomatic London immediately she arrived, and I think a great many people admired her courage oven though they did not accept her invitations. _ She U a woman of much culture, widely read, and with the artistic tastes'of the 'educated Russian. She brought interesting people together so far as she was allowed, and refused to let the difficulties of her position swamp her. Her daughter is doing very well at an English University.
