SUNDAY OKI TOE
RUSSIAN FRONT
Dir OF REST
IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS,
RUSSIAN ARMY, Oct. 5.—(By Mail*
—Sunday at the Stavka, or grand gen-!
eral headquai-ters, would make the!
most keenly imaginative man in the*
world forget there was ever such a
thing as war even if he had not done
so already in this quietest and most
peaceful of towns. ' ■
Sunday—our Sunday—is Monday
here, and market day. Our Satur
day is their Sunday. All Saturday
you have heard the rapid peal of
bells chiming in different keys from
calcimined towers flecked with rest
ing crows, and have attended the
most beautiful religious services in
the world where boy-choirs on oppos
ing sides of the high altar chanted
the gorgeous ceremonies.
So today business is going full
blast, and the wonderful open air
market near the water tower is pack
ed with its people as curiously mixed
as the wares one finds offered for
sale. The' tone is purely Oriental,
with the strange bazaars, turban^d,
barefoot women, and not even the'
electric sirens of American automo
biles whose terrifying screeches pen
etrate here, can wrench from one’s
mind all of this effect.
Here in this market are people who
scarcely realize a war is being fought
or that Russia is playing a leading
part. The crowd is made up of peas
ants, mostly, and the poor of the
town whose mart this essentially is.
The peasants have driven into town
with things to sell or exchange. The
poor of the town have come to lay
in a supply of those things of which
they stand in need. Gendarmes in
considerable number keep order and
these, in their khaki uniforms, lend
what little of the Occident there may
be to the scene.
The men generally wear clothes
made of a coarse'white, bagging-like
1 material, sometimes wearing a coat
cut like the old fashioned box-over
coats, or simply a tunic resembling
a shirt and belted in at the waist.
On their feet are sandals made of
bark-lining very crudely woven, while
about their legs are rags—of the
same material as their other gar
ments, bound on by strings which
criss-cross up from the sandals,
which in reality, they tied to the feet.
Occasionally some man has a coat
made of a white felt, like the coarse,
pliable felt used for linings. Hats of
this material are seen but caps are
the principle form of headgear for
males.
The women move about like rain
bows. Their dresses are of all the
colors and shades imaginable, like
gypsies in a musical comedy. No
such thing as a hat or a bonnet is
ever seen here,'in the market. Some
wear shawls !the like of which -‘ElHs
island, off New York, has seen many,
some wear handkerchiefs of vivid
pattern while still others wear a sort
of'tiirbah'made of a special shawl or
large handkerchief, and skillfully
bound about the head.
Some of the women ate barefoot^
ed, . others wear sandals and legcloths
similar to those adopted by the men.'
The ’ stalls are lined up- against the
sidewalks but facing the middle of
the street down which the crowd sur
ges and mingles. Then there are per
ambulating merchants, with baskets
on their arms; or trays, supported
Yiddish fashion, in front of them.
One can buy almost anything here.
As I strolled down the center of the
thoroughfare I noted bread, white and
black;' dried mushrooms strung like
dried apples on a string; cucumbers,,
watermelons, beets, onions, squash
es, cabbages, sun-flower seed, toma
toes, cauliflower, pears, apples, pret
zels, sweet^cakes, candy, soda water,
eggs, chickens, live pigeons, sausag
es, the poorer cuts of meats, ham
bones from which the meat has been
cut away, the remaining dry as mum
mies; string beans and other things
for the table.
Then one could buy any and all
sorts of cheap garments, aprons, mo
' ther hubbards, handkerchief and head
dresses, coarse socks and stockings,
leg-clothes and sandals; also wooden
.spoons such as peasants use, china
doll-heads with curious faces; wooden
dolls, padlocks, whips, leather straps,
peaked white felt hats of the same
materials as the coats, native toys
made of wood, bead necklaces and
other trinkets too numerous to men
tion further.
There are many children around.
They sat with their mothers looking
idly on, played with their strange
dolls, ate black bread or drank kvass
> as suited them, the boys dodging in
and out playing games and teasing
the little girls as boys do the world
)ver.
It would seem, almost, as if the
world had gotten used to its war and
then forgotten it entirely.
