AT DEAUvnLE.
Deauville is merely prolongation Of the
watering place in which am now sojournng,
and hence this village is sometimes called
Trouvllle-Deauvllle. But Deauvlle, which has
casino OF its own, is really q different sort of
q place to Irouyllle. 1t was the DUO de Morny,
the bastard half-brother of Napoleon I'LL, who
made 1T known to the amusement world He
purchased land, erected houses, and laid out q
race course. SO as TO give to Deauvile the tone
of ducal Goodwood, and to let it be depend
ency OF 1rouville, as Goodwood is of Brighton,
ne II made this this course perfect one, just,
a. he was himself a perfect man of fashion.
Twenty Years with the Women would not be
on inappropriate title for chapter in the an
nails of Deauville-a chapter in which would
be found the names of all the great ladies of
fashion who have sojourned there, or who have
would read the names of that inimitable trio,
Mines de Metternich, d. Pourtales and. de
Gail'ffet, the three true queens of
fashion, whose reign seems eternal.
Time was when certain great lady of the
Faubourg Saint German had g. villa at Iron
vile with fourteen sleeping rooms in it. and a
Stable at Deauville IN which there were four
and twenty thoroughbred race horses. Those
were the days when cr:noline was still in all
its glory. One day the Marquise de Galliffet
made her appearance at the races in O. close
fitting dress What hurrah there must have
been, and how beautiful she mnst have
is implacable, but fashion is also
very good. for it changes our tastes, our way
OF looking at things, and thus prolongs our
pleasures by VARYING. and renewing them.
Those were the days Of the great hats a la
bergere, transparent dresses of grenadine or
black lace over cherry or yellow skirts, or Of
white skirts with pink or blue transparent
stuff on the outside. There were also enor-
nous Louis Kill hats that seemed to have
been copied from pictures by Rembrandt very
becoming, but terribly in the way of those who
sat behiud them. Times have changed. The
duke is dead; Deauvile erected statue to
him, and horse racing is the life Of th place.
Tonight shake the sand of this deliciously
wicked town off my feet, and start tor Houl-
gate. Ihere is quite an American colony down
there, and I'm going to the place to give the
dear old gossips chance to overhaul my rep
utation. :. The road is most of the way up hill.
Some ladies' of my acquaintance are going to
drive to Houlgate in carriage. Tm going to
walk. We are going to SEQ Houlgate there first.
