HERMIONE THE BOLSHEVIST

Don Marquis's Hermione articles in the "Sun Dial" of the New York "Evening Sun" are always humorously clever. Hermione and her little group are discussing Bolshevism just now. We reprint her remarks by permission of the author.-THE EDITORS.

Don't you think it is terrible the way they are beginning to persecute the Bolshe viki in this country ?

But, of course, it's only to be expected from America. America is so Bourgeois.

Fothy Finch brought the loveliest Russian to the house the other evening, and those were his very words: "America is so Bourgeois."

He used to be a Count before he became one of the Proletariat, he told me,... but never at any time has he consented to be one of the Bourgeois.

"But you Americans," he said, "are nearly all Bourgeois !"

That is what makes us so sordid, the Count said... for I can't help calling him the Count, although he doesn't like it at all... that is what makes us so Sordid and Capitalistic and everything, he said, being Bourgeois !

If we weren't so sordid we'd send millions of dollars and food and munitions to help the Bolsheviki conquer Europe, and then the Bolsheviki would liberate us, in this country, from our Capitalism.

But American Capitalists, the Count says, are so blind and stupid and greedy that they can't see what a vast benefit the overthrow of Capitalism would be, and refuse to furnish the money for its destruction.

What can you do with people like that? the Count says.

And the American Bourgeois are brutes, too, the Count says. When you go and declare war on them and bomb them for the sake of the Social Revolution they send the police and have you arrested..

They know nothing of Idealism.

I told him that I was little bit afraid of joining the Bolsheviki quite openly, because I do not like to be called a Parlor Anarchist, or anything of that sort... Papa is quite frightfully rich, you know. "Lady" he said, "don't let that worry you at all. The French Revolution was largely brought on by Aristocrats."

"Yes," I said, "it was, wasn't it! And so was the English Revolution.... The Eng lish Revolution was won on the cricket fields of Eton, wasn't it? Or was it Oxford?"

He said he wasn't sure whether it was Oxford or Eton, as he hadn't specialized on English history as he had on French and American history, but anyhow, the principle was the same, and I should feel that in giving my checks to the Cause I was ranging myself beside Jeanne d'Arc and all the other great liberators in history,

"Though you must promise," I told him, "that none of the money I donate will be used to manufacture bombs or any. thing of that sort. Bombs are, after all, so frightfully Plebeian, don't you think?"

He said that they were, but that it seemed to be unavoidable that a certain amount of Plebeianism should crop out in a Social Revolution. Not all the Proletariat could be expected to have become Proletarian after having been Aristocrats. Anyhow, the main thing was to destroy the Bourgeois and Capitalism, and all the Parasites that cling to them.

And if there is anything I detest myself

it is the Parasite !

Especially the Parisitic Woman.

So I coaxed another check out of Papa to help destroy Capitalism and Parasites.
