Blue Triangle Helps Russian Women Amid War's Shadow
In Petrograd the Blue Triangle YWCA hosts a charity tea for about 100 Russian girls and six young men. The room is dim due to candle limits, hunger, and wartime danger while a star singer moves guests to tears. Sonya asks for a note to study at night, hoping day shifts so she can learn English and other skills. The program offers rest, music, and classes in English, calligraphy, bookkeeping, and more as chaos swirls outside.
