DOROTHY, LADY KENNARD
' Through Russia to Persia before the War '
READERS of that great Vic. torian traveller, Frederick Brunsby , the author of ' A Rido to Khiva,' will know something of the difficulties and even dangers of journeying in the vast spaces of Asiatic Russia half-a-eentury ago. Dorothy, Lady Kennard's travels took place more recently than that, but even in those pre-war days of which she speaks the railway stopped short at Batburh, and much of her travelling was done on the roads. Those who want to learn how journeys are made in countries that are still in the post-chaise and diligence stage of transport will do well to listen to her talk to-night.
