Within the framework of a coordinated campaign of observations in optical and IR of a sample of 21 southern Be stars, we report some results from spectra taken at ESO La Silla Observatory with 1.5m telescope equipped with IDS and the Boller & Chivens grating spectrograph used at 220 A/mm reciprocal dispersion. The spectra, taken in March 1985, range from about 4250 to 7000 A. The equivalent widths of the Balmer lines, either in emission or in absorption, have been computed. Fig. 1 shows the relationship between the logarithm of the absolute value of the Hα, Hγ equivalent widths ratio and the logarithm of the luminosity of the stars in solar units.
