most noted Paris artfStes. Clubmen and
horsey men find themselves very much at
home. Partisan ladies' of society find 1t
amusing to come hers and mingle in a life
they are supposed to more or less ignore in
Paris The Trouville Casino, to be frank,
is rich but fast.
The theory Of the government In France
today Is that all kinds of gambling are
wrong-in cities. Tn. multitude must be
saved from temptation. &c. in Paris, II You
want to bet upon the races you mus: 60 out
to the track and do it. There are no pool
rooms and no commission houses II the
capital or any other large French town. In
this way, also, baccarat, roulette and rouge
et-no1r may not BE- played in open clubs.
TO which admission Is an easy farce. In tire
real clubs the members gamble % their
fearts content; but not the multitude
Now. following this line of thought the
explanation of the Trouville baccarat ap-
raars. The multitude has no par in the
Trouville life. Trouville is too expensive,
and the Paris multitude is saving. AT Di-
eppe, where people crowd more thickly, BAG
carat or any serious gambling is prohibited.
AT the most you may put down dollar on
the "little horses" Here at Trouyilla
where the upper crust OF sporting lie has
found its place, the sale de baccarat could
not be told from that at Monte Garlic. As
al Monte Carlo. the ladies play. And as at
Monte Carlo, the women are-mixed Tn
married girls do not frequent the Trouville
Casino. Society women may do any-hIrc
The others, quite richly dressed AMI al
most quite as well behaved, move with
great freedom from the music hall 10 the
cafe and from the cafe to the hall of bac-
carat The great sin is not to have suffi-
cient money to keep up tn, pace.
Calm Retreat.
Taking the sea air by night in this way,
Trouville is peaceful beyond words all
through the morning. Just across the way
the really aristocratic little town Of Deau-
vile goes through its calm. family-like rou-
tine, extremely English, where the mothers
and their daughters battle in great seclu-
sion, play lawn tennis, drive in dog carts
take quiet maps and brace up on tea at 3
PM Deauville only touches Trouvilia at
the point of the Casino; and the fathers and
tn, brothers are the only ones wn3 touch it,
1t is true that thu Trouville hotels have
quantities of rich folk in them; but If they
do not themselves make the tapage Of the
liveliest beach on the French coas., they
enjoy tt-or they would not come to rrou-
vile.
The Trouville morning is extremely peace
ful Half the people are asleep. The little
town Is at the bottom of high cliffs, a two
mile semicircle of hotels and villas, backed
by the few streets OF the old fishing village
climbing upward. The semcrcle of hotels
and villas faces an axparse Of beach more
than half mile in breadth at low tide
The sea and sky are all pale blue and hazy
white; the sands are creamy white, dotted
with gay tents and big umbrellas; the ho-
tells and villas go in for striped awnings,
and look coolly dark I'm the shade of the
great cliffs, on whose tops. away up, are
the apple orchards. If there is high tide
you may see certain bathing in the morn
ing. They still take the sea at Trouviiie
though sea bathing is not the great fea lure
As the Trouville morning slides along the
restaurant verandas of the hotels and cafes
begin to show some signs of life. On the
boardwalk they begin to take promenade

light business suits" the women evea in

to change again for the first public function
