Text Appearing Before Image:
catches a ripple of foam.Boys and girls hold out great handfuls of big, long-stemmed purple violets to you and the fragrance comessweet and heavy to your nostrils. Women in lightsummer frocks stroll along the broad white walk, stop-ping to chat with friends; on the roadway which thepromenade borders, roll luxurious private carriages,smart dog-carts, hired fiacres, hotel wagons, all loadedwith smiling folk, for one smiles perforce in this worldof sunshine and flowers and laughter. On the inland side of the roadway is a Hne of hotelsand villas and cafes and shops, with tropical gardensbreaking the line of gleaming white buildings; and inthose shops one may find the best that Europeanmerchants have to offer to extravagant womankind;for the famous jewellers and milliners and dressmakersof Paris, London, and Vienna have branch establish-ments here, and the proprietors of the great housesoften spend the season in villas at Nice or MonteCarlo and oversee in person their lively Riviera trade.
Text Appearing After Image:
UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES 187 Paquin, Beer, Doeuillet, and their peers are familiarfigures at Nice and Monte Carlo; and these mightyones of the fashion world may well feel, with a glowof satisfaction, that they are responsible for much ofthe glittering show that passes in review under theircritical eyes. Nice is not given over wholly to fresh air andpromenading. Down in the Casino of the jetty, a paviHon of manyminarets which opens off from the promenade andunder whose foundations the sea washes listlessly, thereis gambling — trente et quarante, roulette, and, in themore exclusive club-rooms to which one is admittedonly by card, baccarat; but gambling is an incident atNice. All things save gambling are incidental at MonteCarlo, and while a host of folk live in Nice without playingatthe jetty Casino or the municipal Casino, but few visitorsto Monte Carlo resist the fascination of the gamingtables. There is always a crowd at the jetty Casinoafter luncheon, lounging, gossiping, gaming, list
