Monte Carlo Is about mile from
Monaco. The approach to the Casino
Is through magnificent gardens, IN
which are growing palms and other
tropical trees. and which receive an
amount OF attention that makes them
perhaps the most beautiful In Europe.
The Casino Itself, handsome build
ing designed by Charles Gamier some-
what In the French renaissance style.
is approached by broad flight of steps.
Entrance to 1t Is free. tickets being OBJ
tained on presentation of visiting
card and the visitor giving the name OF
his hotel. He must, however. be over
q years or age, ana foreigner, for no
| inhabitant of the principality OF Mon
AGO Is allowed to visit the rooms. The
managers OF the club know very well
that If the people OF Monaco were given
| the opportunity of losing their money
at the tables their popularity would
cease, and they take good care that
such an event shall not occur.
