LIFE ABROAD.
Lifo abroad is ideal, from all accounts, remarks an English writer. You breakfast, in your room, put on bathing things, and over them wide scarlet or sailcloth trousers, a vest and, a straw hat with a ribbon carelessly tied, and go down to the beach. The sea is inconceivably blue. The pines ridiculously green. The bathing suits and umbrellas fantastically over-coloured. Tho beach is packed with long chairs, with an umbrella over each second one. You swim, drink at the bar on tho beach, eat. figs, swim, and have another iced drink. Lunch in pyjamas on enormous quantities of figs or melon and ripe peaches. A siesta after lunch, and then down to tho sands. Everyone dines between nine and- ten, out of doors, on a circular terrace, edged with marigolds. Everything is lit up, even the pines, and the band plays under an orange canopy. You dance on marble. Soino wear pyjamas?, some wonderful evening dresses, with the new Empire line, and heavily fur-edged little coateos.
