ing in the footsteps of their father who was living on the income of his estates.
After the World War they were penniless refugees facing the problem of earning a living without training in any useful occupation. They hit bottom, they were forced to compete for bread with day laborers and for a long time it seemed as if they would have to choose between starvation and charity.
Then they maae good. They earned the right to wrest a living from life with their hands. They are saving a little, steadily; they love their country of refuge and they are contented with their new life.
The elder brother, John Nicholas Engalitscheff, renounced his title when he took out first naturalization papers. The title went to Prince Kyril Engalitscheff, but it will be permitted to lapse, the brothers say, as soon as Kyril is able to become a citizen of the United States.
John is 32 years old, Kyril is 27. Both smilingly disclaim their titles. They call themselves "carpenter" and "stone mason," and they demand nothing more than that persons accept them for what they are.
The brothers* are now at work
| helping H. A. Stillwell build a stone
house at Ruxton. They are, in a
i sense, proteges of his. He gave them
their first real opportunity.
John Engelitscheff has been in the United States three years. Kyril came seven months ago. Before they .met Mr. Stillwell they tried to earn a living as day laborers, but they were unable to get along with their employers or with their fellow-workmen.
They were not understood. They were treated with contempt by employers, who considered them illiterate and ignorant "wops" or "pol-acks," they said. They concealed their identity because they did not want to succeed on anything but their own merits.
Mr. Stillwell is building the house at Ruxton by a method of his own with forms invented by himself after his own plans.
It was his plans for this house that enabled Mr. Stillwell to give the Russians their opportunity. Since the ground was broken, January 21, they have become expert at laying stone and at carpentry. They take great pride in their work, and they are good mechanics, clever and artistic, according to Mr. Stillwell. They have made valuable suggestions in regard to plans for the house,
have shown a keen interest in Mr. Stillwell's ideas, and have ambitions of their own, which are unlimited.
"We are glad to help in building a stone house," said John. "In Russia we built houses of stone or mud and they last a very long time."
"Look at my chimney there,' put in Prince Kyril. "I made most of it with my hands. Is it not splendid?"
Before the war they lived with their father, Prince John Nicholas Engalitscheff, in Moscow. They received degrees of doctors of law at the University of Moscow.
"When a person didn't have to work for a living and didn"t want to do anything in particular he studied law," said John.
When the war broke out John was commissioned as major in the infantry. He was wounded and captured in 1916 and sent to a German prison camp, where he was forced for the first time to work with his hands. As soon as he was able to do so he came to the United States.
Prince Kyril was major of Hussars. He was demoted by the first revolutionary government and served in the army until the close of the war. He then joined his family in exile in Servia.
Both brothers have been feted quite a bit. They have refused to be treated as "social lions," it is said, and insist on being considered as nothing more than honest workmen. They do not want their fellow workmen to think they think themselves above their work.
