professor, who distinguishes between
two kinds of MISUNDERSTANDING
caused by extraordinary sensityeness.
extreme bashfulness OF modesty, and
blushing because Of the blusher's APP
prehension OF the act Of blushing
Prof. Eulenburg spent some time in
the United States and says the aver
age American girl is more free from
the blushing habit than her sisters in
Europe. Still. 40 per cent have II,
though few own up TO It. Some very
interesting cases OF blushing among
American society girls and womeR
came under the professors observation
Europeans. he says, ARE wont to
call the American girl unduly forward
and calculating, but my observation
shows that she has great deal OF sen
sitiveness stored up in her, for II she
hadn't the blood wouldn't rise 10 her
cheeks 80 often on small provocation
or none.
The writer tells of beautiful New
port heiress whose name must be with
held for professional reasons
She is extremely pretty and famous
for her beautifully modelled arms and
neck, about which all the foreign art
1sts visiting there used to rave. But
on the occasion of balls, dinners and
receptions she was bound to overhea.
ecme admiring remark. and that was
enough 10 color her face a deep red.
and Immediately everybody was on 10
her, as they say in America. Then.
when she saw many eyes fastened up
en- her the flush would spread to hsr
neck and even her arms. And In tho
end II was no longer pretty.
This young woman suffers not only
outwardly; she loses all self-contrcl
when blushing She can't speak COL

mp. learned that she has undergone
treatment for nervousness. but 1t did
no good. She Is now taking she only
cure that promises succsss-she keeps
away from society. Only, | said, be.
cause her case is a singular one, for
she suffers from both kinds OF blushing
at the same dime"
Still more singular In the case OF a
leading actress who consulted the pro-
fessor during his stay in this country.
The patient" he says, ruined her
complexion by excessive use OF white
grease paint applied to her face ard
neck The reason was This; She fear

Torrance. something went wrong. al IN
such an emergency her countenance
and the exposed parts of her body
would be liable to become flushed
crimson. That. she feared, would mar
her performance.
"This 7ictlm Of the blushing habit
was still young and comeiy," adds the
professor. Among old stagers never
came across q blusher."
While a pretty girl, listening to A

over II as they grow old.
"Blushing men are seldom cured, be

usually have Il In both forms, and be-

Eulenburg cured a number OF male
patients by teaching them that most o
