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

who know her only In winter seem ?

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." She Is making history in a won
