Yon would say. . ?n first thoughts. that ? there could be no such life ? the lUvieru must be dead?wiped off the map. Yet a life, strange, new. burning ? with Interest ? n< roniante. was born In tl\e French Hlvtera Au gust 2. 1011. writes C. N.-and A. M. Williamson In the London (.raphk. Of course, the Hlvlera was struck the same sweeping blow that struck all Fr..cross brave, astoal?h?4 face. At the clang of the tocsin, th ?

Lazy, summer-time Mentone and Monte Carlo and Nice, with doing" except for bathers and Daslurs on the beach, or faithful lovers of a quiet game of roulette, waked up with a horrified start. Would Italian guns begin battering the. Cote dAzur. fleersmotored secretly by night up the qha.lrllateral of forts In the moun tains. taking ammunition In automobile vans commandeered from the shops of Nice, those charming shops where any thought of tragedy would have seemed ridiculously out of place. French and English and American owners of villas rushed off some elder lv members of the family past flf>l Um. ago to pack away valued po^esslons, in case the gay. beloved plnk-and Whlte houses were blown down, or oc cupied by "the enemy." Plight of the Working-Folk. Panic-stricken. the Italian working folk settled along the coast from Men tone to Marseilles started to scut n across the frontier. They feared in ternment and a hundred vague hor rors Under the blinding sun of Au gust. along the dazzling roads of Up ?er and Lower Corniclie, marched ana endless procession, and those who can imagine only processions of smart au tomobiles between Mentone a Cannes would have thought thcin.ei .s dreaming that long black line It was .t line of men and women, old and voung, tottering children and babies ?n onus?-it. arms because the pern.nhu jators were piled with the family bai, .rMge And there were donkey-enrt>. wheelbarrows, caravans, every s.-rt oi vehicle. Despite the tragedies of the inure 1 (children dying on the way) it had H-j humorous side, because, as it turned out. the whole business was urmeces sarv. The next phase through whirl, the Hlvlera passed, however, was in from funny. She doesn't really fa 1 as fast asleep In summer-time as thosi who know her only In winter seem ? think. There Is always the won<rJ,or[" ??Passion Play" at Uoquebrune. Tb?n is always a delightful bathing season, and In August the Azure Beauty is qul ;!uv. almost stealthily, busy In planning her winter campaign. In that historic August ?f 1914 the landlords and shop keeners and amusement caterers of ev ery sort were improving their prop- r ties, arranging their advertisements and preparing for nnotW^son of peace and plenty.- Then suddenly came the erash. and for them It looked the end of the world when, on August o, the Monte Carlo casino closed Its doors. Meanwhile tho people wnose dusi news htul always been to inuke the 1U vlern attractive* were looking each other In the face. They saw nothing hut ruin uheail. But something desper ate huil to he done, for the living ol* many thousand** depended on their de cision and its success. Just as brave ly as the young men were fighting in the North, the older men In the South ; put their hacks to the burden. They i got no sympathy from outside. They j must stand together and save the HI- ; vlera us their sons anil younger broth- j era were saving the rest of France. Casino Doing Its "Bit." Few hotels were to remain shut for ; the season, except those which were j needed for hospltuls. The shops were | to do "business us usual," and u greut ; petition was sent to the Cusiqo not to i keep Its doors closed: It wus more j "symputhetlc," It was more patriotic to open them. The Soclete saw the ; justice of this, since the life of the . Ill vlera might hang on their world. Consent wus given, though It looked ? us if it mcunt u lurge monetary loss; and on Januury 1, 1915, when the war wus six months old, the Casino at Monte Curio begun to do Its "bit" by the public, us already It was doing for its employees. By this time everything was getting into full swing. But what a different "everything" from what we hud all known! If you were not doing some i good work, public or private, you were as much ashamed of yourself as J if you had stayed in London. Not even an automobile dared to show its nose : unless It had a Hei! Cross on it. And without its dust-raising hordes of mo- ! tors the Hiviera began to be a won drous new place, that had to he ills covered all over again. When you had finished your dally work of visiting the jmor or of suffering in some rock ? village or hospital, when you had put together your pile of knitted socks, or j the bandages you had promised to make, you could uctually go for a quiet walk?a Joy forgotten since high-pow ered curs took over the Hiviera. Ordinary gaieties were given up, and it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly, how cleverly they could be organized for doing good. In Men tone the tall. ; black Senegalese soldiers had begun to appear, at .first to be trained for a new kind of fighting; then, when they had ? fought, as invalids in the hotel-hospit als. But, well or wounded, they were ? a gay crowd. They made Meat one picturesque with their costumes and their camp fires and their sanies in the streets. Indeed, something in the -unshine 1 and suit tang of the sea made all the dwellers in Hiviera hospitals gay. There were few sad sights, for wound- i cd men simply bounded back to health again, and it was good t?i*meet them on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice, on the Boulevard tie In Crolsette at Cannes, or the front at little Mentone. j Already the Monte Carlo casino had begun organizing Its Bed Cross charl- j ties; many women and girls In society hud given up everything in order to. train for hospital, work ; but it was only last winter and now at the begin ning of this third war season that the new HivJera completely "found her self."
