Aside from working In 10S degrees in

one night about eighteen days after our

for the women at the place, not that their

but because Of the amount Of work they

and life is concentrated around a de
luxe edition of village square.
Upon it face the Casino the Nor
mandy Hotel, and the Potiniere. These
three institutions supply all the ingre-
dents Of life for most of the holiday
makers. At the Normandy you lunch
and dine under the apple trees in the
hotel garden; at the Casino you dance
and gamble; at the Potiniere you watch
the greatest dress parade the world has
yet organized, and you sit, drink, and
say evil Of your neighbor. 1t was at
the Potiniere that King Alfonso made
shrimps and sherry the alliterative
aperitif of a season. Only two poten-
tates are at Deauville this year; the
Maharajah Of Kapurthala and the Aga
Khan, spiritual leader of millions Of
Mahomedans, and the owner Of perhaps
the best racing stable either in England
or IN France. The POtiniere crowd in

magnificent Alsatians, novelists, Greeks,
Armenians, Assyrians, Japanese, Chi
nese Americans in large number, and
even some Frenchmen. The women are
of two categories, the beautiful and the
hideous, the undressed and the over
dressed. Even Sem, the great social
caricaturist, finds himself baffled by
some Of the Deauville types, and has
to admit that Nature plus the dress
maker, the coiffeur, the skinfood spe-
