In a lost corner of the great low
land fiat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point of intersection of net work of
canals and waterways, there stands q
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its slen-
der bell turrets, its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has SO far been
spared the general devastation that fol
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it "Bruges la morte''
and at every turn there is something to
remind the visitor of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesQuely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, OF
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
mosphere of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

KEEP FLESH FIRM AND CLEAR
Massage May Be Used to increase the
Flesh or Diminish 1t as Desired,
Says Beauty Expert.

Massage may do its bit toward affect
ing the contour of the face if one hap
pens TO be dissatisfied with ones birth
right, says beauty expert.
If the cheeks eve hollow, rub them
gently to increase the flesh and to
make them round.
If double chin or superfluOus flesh
is the affection, rub vigorously to wear
away the fat by friction.
Never begin a massage without first
having washed the face thoroughly
with hot water, not only to remove all
dust, but so that the pores may be
opened and made ready to receive the
unguent.
In order that the finger may slide
over the skin without pulling, and also
that the tissues OF the skin may be
benefited, lotion or cream should be
used.
Upon the original condition Of the
face depends the type of lotion that
should be used.
If very fat, an astringent compost
ton would be best. While the thin
face requires the discriminating cream.

REVIVED OLD APPLE STORY
Adam and Eve Encounter Was
Caused by the Red Fruit.

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with
an apple there has been more or less
trouble" remarked James e. Deery,
Judge of the city court says the Indian
apolis News, but this morning was
the first time that | have had an ex-
ample of the trouble which may be
caused between man and woman by
an apple"
A man had been arrested charged
with assault and battery on his wife.
The wife. had tried 10 shield him when
she took the stand, but admitted hav-
ing had n little unpleasantness with
her mate.
When the man took the stand he
asked whether he should tell the story
from the beginning, and when told to
go ahead started by saying: Judge,
your honor, all this trouble was caused
by an apple"
Eyes. | have heard that story be-
FORE" said the judge. THE Bible even
saws that an apple caused trouble be-
tween Adam and Eve, and most people
think that all of our troubles date TO
that time"
"But this was a real apple" replied
the prisoner I'VE had an argument
over 1t and when my wife became loud
l merely showed her away from me.
Then some nosey neighbOrs called the
police"
''All right" said Judge Deery. Tut
l believe the real cause of this trouble
is that you do not work steadily. Now.
l am going 10 let YOU 60 this time on
the condition that you heed some adj
vice relative TO steady employment.
which a friend of yours is going TO
give you rs soon rs you leave the

Good Grooming Very Different
From Painful Neatness.
SeIf-Forgetfulness, After Making Sure
One Is Well Dressed, Adds TO
Attractiveness.

Are you well-groomed, or are you
just painfully neat? There is a world
Of difference between the two, you
know, although not a few seem I'M
aware of the distinction. Mayhap it's
an attitude rather than fault in the
grooming that makes some people
fastidious, while others must remain
prim, says q woman writer. Again, it
is undoubtedly an ignorance, or, worse
still, a deliberate disregard for the
dictates OF fashion, and particularly
in the little things. Most OF all, it is
the inability TO carry things off with
an air of smartness that gives the
impression of painful neatness.
Quite the best way to overcome this
unpleasant stiffness in dress is to first
see that every single feature of the
costume is above reproach, the groom
ing of ones person not by any means
excepted, and then to forget all about
ones self. To be continually smooth
ing ones dress, tuckins in stray ends
Of hair, mauling the hands, Straighten-
ing the collar and doing u hundred
other meaningless things that prim
people do is to give most unpleasant
impression Of prig.ShneSs.
Self-forgetfulness. you know, is one
Of the big secrets behind Charm" Per-
haps you have often wondered why
careful Sally Jones proves SO much
less attractive than less careful Peggy
Brown; Sally is too careful. too mind
full of her appearance, of herself; Peggy
straightway fOrgetS all about herself
SO interested is she in the "other fel-
low" OF course, there is nothing com
mendable in carelessness as regards
ones person, but it is certainly to be
preferred to undue carefulneSS result
ing in squeamishnesS. There is no linn
it to the charm of u person who is
carefully groomed, yet who manages
to forget that she is SO, once she
leaves her boudoir.

SPORTS BLOUSES ARE SIMPLE
Some, Which Are Made of Jersey
Cloth, Show Vest OF Chiffon
Trimmed With Cotton Fringe.

Sports or travelling blouses are SIM
pie and straight, bordered with cot
ton fringe. Some blouses of jersey
cloth show a straight vest Of chiffon
trimmed with the cotton fringe. This
vest effect is admirably adapted to a
long jacket in n contrasting tone.
Side by side with the simple blouse
are dressy designs entirely covered
with embroidery, not arranged as in
previous seasons in round pattern
but running up and down in broad
band effect and covering the surface
of the material almost completely.
A novelty is embroidery carried out
in square designs, arrayed somewhat
in the manner of a cross.

What Moves Men.

Man does not live by bread alone,
but by the ideals that stir his heart,
observes a writer. NapoleOn's men
were struggling through the snow and
cold and Encouragement of Alpine
passes. Would they ever come through?
They did but the great French leader
fired their souls. He called them to
look down upon the smiling plains of
Italy, its warm waters. its orange
groves, its comfortable cities, its
whole lure and romance. For things

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may he destroyed
forever. Many cases OF Deafness are

CARE OF GLOVES IMPORTANT
Shoes Also Are Likely to Receive More
Attention Than Usual on Account
of High Prices.

Women are learning TO be careful Of
gloves these days. The best way, some
women content. is TO purchase several
pairs of really good gloves and make
them give the best service by taking
infinite care of them, repairing the
least rip instantly, by smoothing the
gloves out flat and never rolling them
into Il wad, by protecting them from
wet on rainy days and by having them
cleaned before they get SO soiled that
hard rubbing Is necessary. Two pairs
of white kid dress gloves. one pair of
heavy dogskin gloves and pair of
washable chamois gloves should be
fair allowance Shoes, also, will re-
ceive extra care and attention this
year. Every pair will be neatly freed
while not in use, oil Will be rubbed
into leather TO keep il soft and pliable
and shoes Will be exchanged for slip
pers the moment one comes into the
house. The heavy laced sport shoes
for rough weather wear will stand
much hard usage, but dainty buttoned
boots for formal wear should be care
fully protected 10y rubbers when pave
ments are damp. A well-cared for
shoe will last longer and look better
while ii lasts than one that is treated
without the respect footwear should
have these days of high prices.

ALMANAC FOR TODAY
ALMANAC FOR SUNDAY

bona f1de cases of influenza, but for colds and as a preventative. Phenace- tin in single dose of ten grains is of tentimes prescribed by physicians for use in connection with the salicylate, but it is better to take it only after consulting a competent advisor. Qui- nine is still favored in many quarters and in proper doses it is unquestiona- ply of value. It was formerly de- rived from the bark of the chichona tree found in Peru and other South American countries, but is now inn ported from the East Indies. It is deadly to the bacteria, reduces tenn perature and aids the digestion and nervous systems, but should not be taken except in small quantity except on proper advice. When constipa- ton accompanies the disease, castor oil, calomel in small doses, and sev- eral mild laXatives are beneficial. It is always wise to consult physi clan.
 Patients recovering. from the dis ease should remain in bed until tenn perature is at the normal point. Ere quently during the course of the ill., ness it varies from 100 to 104 de- grees, the normal being between 9S and 99. An accurate medical ther- mometer will prove of service. It is advisable for patients to keep to their beds for a week following the abate- ment of temperature, particularly in the case of elderly people. The ma jority of fatalities are due to careless ness; the desire ito keep on ones feet" as long as possible being one of the chief contributing causes. Too rapid recovery is likewise not to be desired. a state of fatigue and easily induced feeblepess for weeks or even months afterwards often resulting. Extreme care and proper tonic should be used during the period of convalescence. Vigorous people often keep on with their usual work de- spite the disease, although in most instances, owing to the high tempera- ture and weakness, this is impossible. However, they do so at the risk of pneumonia and other complications. Instead of husbanding their strength they are exposing themselves to seri- ous consequences, and for the sake of a few days lost time are risking their lives and the health of the peo- pie about them. In 1889, many per sons pursuing this course suffered a complete mental breakdown.
 All in all, Spanish influenza is in tensely contagious and extremely an- moving; however, under proper treat ment the total duration of the illness is very brief and it is not to be great. ly feared, the mortality being but l per cent. However, the need of cau- ton cannot be emphasized too great lv

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

Accidental death is the finding of Coroner John J. Phelan, in the case of Nicholas Picciuto, of Harral ave- nue, who died Sept. 30, as a result of being run down by an automobile truck. The truck was owned by Patrick Melee, and driven by Clar- ence A. Johnson, of 241 Lexington avenue. The testimony before the coroner by a number of witnesses, showed that the boy, 10 years old, was playing in Harral avenue on push mobile" that the driver of the truck made every effort to avoid striking him, but that he went directly in the path of the truck. The finding has been sent to Prosecutor A. L. De- Laney, and Johnson, held on a man. slaughter charge, will undoubtedly be released when his case is called in the City Court.
