Of course, in winter, when the court is here and the richest citizens come in from their summer homes in Finland and the islands. when the sleighing is lively and all the gayeties of the season in vogue, St. Petersburg would show to much greater advantage. We had been told that the contrasts of luxury and poverty on the streets would be most painful, and we expected to meet beggary on every hand, but such has not proved to be the case. There are always beggars at the church doors, but seldom elsewhere, and poverty is by no means so obvious and distressing as in many cities It is not the poverty, but the coarseness, almost brutality, in the lower classes that. impresses you most vividly.
