THE GULDEN RIVIERA.

MONTE CALO: OUTSIDE.

I hate panoramas, prospects, and bird's-eye views. They are the platitudes of nature, meal for the mechanical tourist who sees without weeing. There is an ugly wooden platform on the top of La Californie. It is called The Ob. servatery, in a feeble mood I climbed thither, and gazed down on Cannes, Grasse, Nice, and a wide circle of sea and hills. But generalised scenery is tame. has no personality. This bird's-eye view, of funds apas and seascapes and skyscapes is only a topographical mod." To see too much is to see nothing.

For those who feed on facts there may be a But whole. grose pleasure in the gorged eye. salo sights do unt enrich the memory, They are like the dishes as a table d'hôte, inoriels fung into the general maw.

PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY.

It is a finer joy to make little monds for yourself in the interstices of customary raptores,

This is not easy on the Riviera trademitt. whose inbelled splendor, and ticketed charmi are worn out with admiration. The Riviera has the self-consciou air of a professional beauty if you pape at through the regulation pecul les

Jager, 23rd May, ly glued It is a Christmas bazuar Landscape. ey z szaga, atchen, niches, crevices, corridors, caves have be a constructed su ingeniously that

you cannot tell where the plasterer ends and nature begins. Nature, leed, is here unnatural. She wears bunches of pincurls under her bat, and as you turn a corner you surprise her powdering her note,

But at the very lip of the cape, where the bare grey rocks bite the sea, you sigh with relief.

This is the real thing. Cloyes with trivial inventions, you sit down and drink deep of the cold, sharp beauty of wavewaslied granite, leaping azure water edged with erwine fnam Here, far away from overbred tuges, overblown tulips, and grotesque humanity, th its hons, bags, and unbrellas, you fill into a dream of teass, wonderi g at the brief grace of your un sought delight. Ahlin pro nog these parallel lines of soul and senin into infinity--that would be bliss to blessed.

The motor has ruined the main reads o the Riviera for the pedestrian. A walk on the raid between Gannes and Munte Carlo is suicide

tempered by asphyxisted agility. There are roads left in die Riviers-arly railroads. High-powered cars, duken at the speed of an express, choke and blind and desfen you,

The

long, low mons of the motur desolates every silence and every solitude. Only after rain can you escape ile eleventh pl-guɛ and the eighth deadly sin.

In a lonely, sun- oaked silence we crawled from the blue sea into the blue sy hanging like a curtain behind Mont Cros: A mistof pesca shimmered in the hollows of the valleys, and in the hollows of my soul. The olives on the roadsides grew atragely companionable, and even the dirty stade Fins deepened the mood of romance. Beyond the Col des Quatre Chemins, Villefranche and Beaulieu, sirena jewelled with opals and emeralds, languished lazily at our feet Aliny while yacht was sleeping on the violet sea like a dream on a drean.

Then we stumbled on Eze, a handful of grey ruins and houses perched on a loty lonely rock, a white ribbon of mean twisting up to its white church through the terraced green slopes. It stood up between the sea and the sky like a poet's fantasy or a painter's vision. The mys tery of life hook round it 16
