WHERE SATAN RULES

redroofs of la Condamine.
The Casino. for all its resplend-
ency, its columns of porphyry and
alabaster, its choirs dedicated to
song and dance and its chapels
dedicated to fashion and chance,
its wealth Of stained glass and old
gold is yet singularly unlike a
cathedral. Set amid gardens tn at

upon a castellated crag between
the mountains and the sea, it might
easily be mistaken for the
mundane home of a Greek god. 1t

to bestow upon it.

winner, heaven.
