(International Smmdphata) On The Side (Distributed by Kinfl Brussels Breezed into this historic municipality on the lux urious Amsterdam-Paris Express which train is officially know as the Etoile Du Nord. Had a very comfortable trip lolling in one of those large chairs featured in the European Pullman cars. Passed through an extremely, picturesque part of Holland in cluding the beautiful garden city of Haarlem where most of the tulip bulbs come from. Noted a number of well kept farms. Even saw several windmills. However, didn't see anybody wear wooden shoes. Am informed there are sections in the Netherlands where the natives still go for that wooden footgear. Also, small towns where the females wear the native costumes. These young women wear a minimum of five petticoats. Some wear 10. Ten petticoats and a pair of wooden shoes is a lot of weight for a girl to carry. Especially when dancing. Quiet Place We are delightfully domiciled in a hotel which is in the heart of the city but quiet and restful because it adjoins a park. On the other side of the park can be seen an unusual sight for Europe. There is a skyscraper office building being construct ed. I don't know what the tall est building is in Europe but this one, when completed, may be it. Gay Place Brussels has the reputation of being a very gay place. It cer tainly looks that way. It has a gay white way that somewhat resembles the vicinity of 42nd st. and Broadway, New York City. It has innumerable cab arets, dance halls, theaters and horse racing six times a week News About Servicemen COMPLETES COURSE Sgt. Harry L.

I will check on the aforementioned gay atmosphere and report later. Brussels is somewhat more ex pensive than the Hague and Am sterdam but you can still get by for a reasonable figure if you are careful and well informed. I am having wine with my din ner. I don't go for that idea that you must have certain kinds of wine to go with certain courses. As for example, red wine with steak and white wine with fish. I take Chablis regardless. That's my favorite wine. Traffic There are not as many cycles here as in Amsterdam. How ever, small automobiles are numerous. Operators of these are great lovers of speed. They keep you jumping. I have been dining very well since I have been in Holland and Belgium. Weighed today and find I have lost two pounds. That no doubt comes from dodging cyclists and motorists and worrying about 12 pieces of baggage. We mis placed two pieces on the train last night. Finally found them. Boy, how I suffered looking for them. Made me think of the time on the boat train from Havre that we misplaced all our baggage. That's the second worst thing that can happen to you in Europe. The first, of course, is losing your passport. Tips Railway porters in Brussels have a fixed price for baggage Ten francs- or 20 cents for first piece, five francs or 10 cents Have you made your Reservations FOR THE IF NOT CALL 2-6203 HOW!

How ever, they expect a tip and if same is not forthcoming volun tarily they ask for it. Somebody should write a book titled, "Tip ping Your Way Through Eu rope" which would list the fair amount to tip all those engaged in activities in which tipping figures in their income. Might be a. good idea to have a book like that for the United States. Asides t The taxicabs here are all reg ular cars merely featuring a small sign on the windshield reading "taxi." All are driver owned. Their rates are higher than those of the New York cabs. . . Many shops here are devoted exclusively to the sale of pens. Popular American makes of ball point pens sell here for three times as much as in New York.
