keepers and amusement caterers of ey-
cry sort were improving their proper
| ties, arranging their advertisements
| and preparing for another season of
peace and plenty. Then suddenly came
| the crash, and for them it looked the
end of the world when. on August 3,
| the Monte Carlo casino closed its doors.
Meanwhile the people whose bust
ness had always been to make the Ri
viera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living of
many thousands depended on their de-
eision and its success. Just as brave
ly as the young men were fighting in
the North, the older men in the South
put their backs to the burden. They
got no sympathy from outside. They
must stand together and save the Ri
viera as their sons and younger broth
ers were saving the rest of France.
Casino Doing Its "Bit."
Few hotels were to remain shut for

needed for hospitals The shops were
to do business as usual" and a great
petition was sent to the Casino not to
keep its doors closed: it was more
sympathetic" it was more patriotic
to open them. The Societe saw the
justice of this, since the life of the
Riviera might hang on their world.
Consent was given, though it looked
as if it meant large monetary loss;
and on January l, 1915, when the war
was six months old, the Casino at
Monte Carlo began to do its bit by
the public, as already 1t was doing for
its employees.
BY this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what a different
everything" from what we had all
known, Ii you were not doing some
good work. public or private. you
were as much ashamed of yourself as
If you had stayed In London. Not even
an automobile dared TO show its nose
unless it had a Red Cross on it. And
without its dust-raiSing hordes of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be a Won
drous new place, that had to be dis
covered all over again. When you had
finished your daily work of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital, when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks, or
the bandages you had promised to
make. you could actually go for quiet
walk-a joy forgotten since high=pow-
cred cars took over the Riviera.
Ordinary gaieties were given up. and
it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how eleyerly they could be organized
for doing good. In Mentone the tall,
black Senegalese soldiers had begun to
appear, at first to be trained for new
kind of fighting; then, when they had
fought, as invalids in the hotel-h0spit
ais But, we'll or wounded, they were

picturesque with their costumes and
their camp fires and their games In the
streets.
