FLEMISH WOMEN.
They Are Very Tall and Models of
Great Beauty.

They Are Very Tall and Models of
Great Beauty.
A recent traveller in Old Flanders says
that the Flemish VIC men are tall, and that
they possess great beauty. Their eyes are
usually blue. their hair Is like FURNISHED
gold. which they wear long like the German
gods.
The Flemish woman is simple to excess:
rot because she has poor taste in her toilet;
on the contrary. a Flemish woman never
goes out on Sunday without a heavy silk
dress. with soft frou-frou marking her
steps.
The Flemish woman has preserved intact
the admirable naivete of the woman Of the
middle ages. She is an ideal mother of
family; she has no ambition, love for
art. for music or for poetry; not a whisper
of rebellion against the Standardization
brutality-of her husband, who in her eyes,
represents power. and for whom she cher
shaken.
Bruges is the only city in Flanders
which in our days has preserved its orig
inality and where at every step in it's de-
serted streets one feels the soul of this
marvellous Flanders of the middle ages.
Bruses can he proud also of having the
most beautiful women. When one takes a
walk at twilight in those narrow streets
darkcned by heavy facades of the thir-
teenth century, which advance and seem
to bend over out from the low doors of the
houses, walk timidly JunoesGue women.
draped in a large mantle. Upon their heads
they wear broad-hr:mmed hats with little
plaits. which permits one to only the
brusque line of the nose and the thick
ness of proud lips
The Flemish woman is profoundly relig-
ious. For her God IS not a tyrant, who
in order that He may forgive, wishes to be
fiattered and to see one humilia ted before
Him. Her God is sweet. She thinks that
one must love Him with human love- as
one loves a gentle child and that one must
put tender words into prayer. When one
sees them kneeliEg in the shadows Of old
churches they give an impression Of many
beautiful statues, grouped there by the
hands Of u marvellous artist. Alas! the true
Flemish woman will soon disappear.
Civilization" will end by penetrating and
soiling this little corner of Belgium. which
until now remained rebellious to all Latin
ization. Civilization is like bad architect
the last one puts a modern window in
Gothic facade, and the first one CRAFTS a
German upon Latin; so we will end by
forming unique race. race without a
name, without origin and without end-the
race of coSmopolitanS.

did you speak, darling?" asked BERTHE,
bending toward the girl and gazing at her
with eyes whose glances told more elo-
quently than words of the great love he
bore her. But back of the tender look,
back of the love-laden tones. there was
haunting fear, a CHASTITY horror, which all
the marvellous splendor OF the place could
not dispel.
