RESTORE CASINO AT OSTEND
Famous Pleasure Resort, Devastated
by Huns, Is Being Rapidly Put
In Good Condition.

After nearly five years Of war Ostend
is resumlng ordinary life, as far as pos
sible under present conditions, with
the reopening Of the famous casino,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Less than twelve weeks ago, says .
Reuter- telegram, the great salons Of
the casino were a scene Of devastation
and wanton destruction. Although oc.
cupying SO prominent a position on
the sea front, the buildings themselves
escaped the constant bOmbsrdment
from sea and air that has transformed
so many of the beautiful hotels and
villas along the Digue into heaps OF
glass has repaired all the damage thus
occasloned, but the Germans showed
their usual thoroughness in cutting and
defiling the salons themselves
Every stick of furniture was taken
away, beautiful tapestries were slashed
and torn by German bayonets and
every mirror In the halls was removed,
together with the copper candelabra
in the salons and the beautiful copper
staircase.
Not content with robbery, the Ger
mans def1led the rooms in nameless
ways and, in fact, left the whole place
In a state that would have shamed any
animal inhabiting a stable. But since
February a miracle has been wrought
and but for the fact that some Of the
more valuable fittings are at present
only temporarily replaced by imitation.
there will be no evidence Of the war,
SO far as the casino is concerned, when
1t reopens soon.

Flowers of Poland.

According to an English newspaper
correspondent who recently reported a
journey he had made from Paris TO
the Polish capital, the most impressive
spectacle that he saw was the mantle
of blossoms, clustered profusely, which
fringed the highways and byways
about Warsaw. "All the wars of Po-
land" he writes, "could not check the
new life that came riding through her
borders at the head of the advancing
spring; sprays of lilac found place in
the gray caps of Polish lancers, tulips
and chestnut leaves, tokens of the new
dawn, in the garb of peer and peasant.
Everywhere was spring yielding hack

But the flowers never took much notice

houses, feasting with keen appetites on
unlimited quantities of boiled ribs, we
have all the creature comforts.

opera or see the movies. At any rate.

Question of Dress.

Few Of the picturesque tribal cos
tunes that depart in main essentials
from the dress found convenient by
western civilization have succeeded in
maintaining their. traditional charac-
teristics. The Roumanian people are
among those whom the war has caused
to forsake a distinctive national male
attire, This, in its main lines, re-
called the costume of the Roman le-
gionaries, which was adopted by the
nation when Roumania formed the
Roman Province of Dacia. II con-
sisted Of short white tunic, bag
trousers" of white wool, and a Curl
ously embroidered coat. Many of these
garments were carried away as loot
by invaders during the war, and the
relief garments sent In from France,
which are of more conventional de-
sign, are expected to drive the national
costume into diSuse Heavy demands,
however, will doubtless be made upon
