PEACOCK SEASON.
DELECTABLE DEAUVILLE. LONDON, September 4. The exploits of “Tho man who broke tho bank at Monte Carlo” fade into insignificance before the performance of a Greek shopowner named Yaliano, who in a three-hour sitting at baccarat at the Deauville Casino won £70,000. • The lowest stake was £4O. His extraordinary run of hick steadily stuffed his pockets with bundles *of winnings, until ho looked like a balloon. The other side of the picture of Deauville’s brilliant peacock season shows a list of tragedies and suicides among society people. All Europe is flocking to Deauville, whoso bizarre pleasures range from beach dances in bathing costumes, interspersed with exhibition dances by some of America’s moat graceful professionals, to theatres beginning at midnight.
