GAY AND POPULAR RESORT
Biarritz, In Southern France, Noted
as the Scene of European Fri.
volity and Fashion.

One of the gayest and most popu-
lar watering resorts Of Europe is Bar
ritz in France, about forty miles from
the Spanish border. Its nearness to
Spain has colored its language and ar
ehlteeture somewhat, giving it the pic
turesqueness Of both countries. It is
beautiful place, with its cream-col-
ored, red-roofed villas, dark pine trees,
winding walks and crescent of white
sandy beach guarded at either end by
high, rocky bluffs, rising abruptly from
the sea. Before the war it was the
scene of friyolity and fashion, rival
ing Monte Carlo in its gambling, dane
ing and display. 1t was a favorite
resort with one of England's more
playful kings in his lighter moments.
Indeed, IFS main street is called Rue
Edouard VII in honor of him.
The war brought sudden change
of mood to Biarritz. It's gambling On
slnos and hotels were turned into hos
