f J. N. Cannon
The following is practically a literal translation
from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print. **
uonunuea irom yesieraay
Whenever the wife notices that
her husband is unresponsive to
her love, she leaps at him and
scratches his face with her long
nails; the guilty culprit sits with
his face and head hung to the
left, not daring to ward off the
avenging angel—.
On the other hand, whenever
the husband detected his wife's
infidelity, he reproved her, and if
that didn’t produce a change, cut
off the end of her nose—if angry,
bit it off with his teeth. Ruse de
guerre. Whereas, if the wife no
ticed that “slight cooling” of. her
husband’s affections—she moved.
It was also the custom in those
days for the most handsome and
dexterous women to have polo
vinchiki (half shares), two hus
bands, polyandry being the cus
tom. It was a privilege enjoyed
by the most proficient needle-1
women, who could sew bidarcas,
bidarahs, manage households, en
tertain and gently assuage—etc.
These triangle arrangements, on
the whole, appeared satisfactory
as all legs of the triangle lived
amicably and peacefully together,
forming, as it were, ideal trian
gles. Polyandry was a privilege of
Queens in ancient times, and it
would appear to require no mean
generalship. Whether the most
handsome and dexterous woman’s j
skill-was equal to that of
two men’s, is not recorded. Be
that as it may, it may be well to
remember that, an isoceles right
triangle, the hypotenuse is twice
the shorter leg, and in a quan
dary even science is liable to err !
in dubiis.

Continually working for the ad

frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
i refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an

the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
pbrcelain-on-steel and providea
more shelf space than before.
