spectlVe traveller to know what is 60

him to spread his dates over the events
in which his interest lies.

events, but in many cases sketches

bratlons. Faithfully cataloguing all
the principal attractions, the pages

pllgrlmages and religious fetes.

THE Lilliputian state of Monaco,
with its three little cities of Mo-
naco, the capital: Condamne and
Monte Carlo, is filling up with visitors
again, for the season that lasts until
the end of June has opened. There
