But with the re-opening of trade, and when the daily pa rade of shoppers began anew, the beggars returned and appar ently. brought a lot "of relatives and friends with them. The professional beggars of Moscow are a happy lot when off duty. They congregate in vacant lotsJand in nooks and cor ners of tumbled down buildings,, where they gamble among them selves; joke and laugh; hold their feasts, apparently oblivious of the past or the future, and have just as jolly a time as any group of average individuals. The non-professionals, the men an'l women of the better class of others days swho beg only as a last resort, do not participate in these gatherings which are made up ot the class which has always been beggars and else of life. knows nothing Tea is served regularly at the beggars' resorts, the water being heated in big black kettles with a wood fire underneath. Tip cans and broken cups are brought into use by the various individual, the scene in some respects resembling the camps of American" tramps by the road side in summer.
