Very few persons outside Of the Mayor know

clearly that the Belgian capital was like no

all. one now and then must give town credit
for little real personality OF ms own
As q city 1t is quite clearly divided into
two great and fairly separated parts There

the newer one up on the hill. That j. the
way the average American a. least, would
probably put u. although the average Belgian
probably would never once put IL that way.
And. ~ a matter Of fact, there are some OF
me newest portions Of the city in the old
section. Some years ago-to be exact,
Iatle more than fifty years ago-a hrand-new
broad business street was created right
through tho very heart Of Brussels by the
simple but expensive business II roofing over
its chief rivcr-the Sennc And by means Of
extensive prize competitions there sprans up
along this newly constructed boulevard

ton. very similar 10 that along the finer
boulcvards Of Paris. The street became in

Fifty years or more before that there was
a siinilar upheaval and reconstruction ION the

that was created. with neat. regular streets
and simple. nay. austere two-storied and
thres-storied cream-colored houses that might

Yes and no. Like Washnrton-but more
