Pioneered by Royalty

land the international Ski Cur
Race takes place in March.
Though the Riviera is nc
longer uniquely the playground
of kings, much Of the old gla-
mour remains. The E. Phillips
Oppenheim tales of interna-
tional spying and gambling,
stolen emeralds and romantic
love under the Victorian tinsel
and tropical palms linger on to
supply modern movie makers
with plot and setting.
Now and always, the big show
on the Riviera will be the Mardi
Gras in Nice. This city-wide
party will begin February 2, with
parades through the streets to
announce the arrival Of the 1856
King of Humor.
Before the king is consigned
to the Lenten bonfires on Shrove
Tuesday, there will be a dozen
days Of street dancing. masked
balls. confetti throwing. flower
battles and lid-lifting gaiety.

HALVE WARDROBE,
DOUBLE MONEY

/, One Of the beauties Of
cruising at sea Is that you
do not have to travel light"
Yet nearly all travellers take
Q larger wardrobe than is
necessary.
One seasoned wanderer
who has crossed the Allan
tic 90 times advises: Before
you leave home. place two
bundles In the middle Of
your bedroofn-one contain
ing your wardrobe, the other
the money you plan to
spend. Cut the wardrobe sec
ton in half, double the bum
die Of money. and your trip
will be q success"
There is much truth in
the exaggeration, but on
some winter cruises, the ship
will call at ports where cli-
mates will vary. and for COM
plete comfort and enjoyment
Of the cruise It will be wise
to have q varied wardrobe.
