BRUSSELS AGAIN
CAREFREE CAPITAL
Pushing Paris and Monaco for
Honors as Resort of
Pleasure.

BRUSSELS. May 14.-Brussels Is
resuming. little by little. it's normal
life of before the war.
Prices of all sorts OF commodities
are still higher thanin 1914, but much
lower than in Paris. The stores are
filled with buyers. and the small
tradesmen, as well as the big indus
trials. carry an air Of serene con-
fidence.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
luxurious cafes, of the Boulevard
Anspach and of the Place dc
Brouckere are filled with joyous
of conversation and the music ot
countless orchestras. Brussels has
become, as before the war, the para.
disc of smokers. Tobacco shops,
strung at frequent, intervals alons
every prominent street, recall man o
his pleasure-or his vice, as you
wish 1t.
Cigars and beer-the two things
without which the happiness of a ma
tive Of Brussels would not be COM
plete-are dearer than before the war,
but still are sold at reasonable prices.
For instance, the kind of cigarette
that costs so cents in. american money
in Paris may be had for from IS to IS
cents in Brussels. and others sell Mt
from 10 to Is cents. good Havana
cigar may be had here for 5 cents.
And a glass of beer which costs ut
least s cents in Paris may be had In
Brussels for half that price, even in
the best cafes.
Gasoline costs so cents a gallon
here, while in Paris one pays about
80 cents for exactly the same kind.
SILK stockings. reinforced, sell for
as low as S175 in Brussels. II Paris
women all knew this they would fiji
