THE CARNIVAL AT NICE Two Weeks of Frolio nnd Fun Amid Trop ical Surroundings , THE GAYEST SPOT IN , EUROPE The Sunny Mopes of riowrr-Dockoil t'linnes , the Trrnico at Monte Carlo nnd the l.nlr of tlio Contl- ncntiil Tiger. NICE , Feb. 27. ( Special Correspondence of The Bco. ) For moro than three weeks we have enjoyed the Rayety of the sunniest spot In all Europe , namely , Nice , Cannes , Monaco ace nnd Monte Carlo , To these cenlers from the cold months clsowhcro hnvo come many of the richest , the highest , the hand somest , the bravest nnd I suppose some of the best of Hid world , scarcely any country being without a rcprcsentallvo on Ihe nay and Incomparable Promenade dcs Anglais , at the great terrace of Monte Carlo , or somewhere up and down the sunny slopes of flower-decked Cannes. Here In this Medi terranean parndlso wo have danced on the whlto deck of the handsome American man- of-war Chicago ns she rested In the quiet bay oft Vlllefranchc , floating the slnrs and Blrlpos over the blue waters , wherein the vessel's ofllccrs have nil received so many handsome courtesies , which have all been re turned In as graceful a manner ; watched these same gay ofllccrs , than whom there arc none braver or more gallant than the big. Chicago carries , as they resisted the charms or Haltered the hundreds of handsome women who have constituted no small part In mak ing their stay hero so pleasant ; attended balls , carnival teles , such as flower battles and Illuminations , operas , the races , not oven omitting the world famous sello do Jeu , where gold and sliver clink a merry game over the green cloth day In and day out. everything has contributed to speed time In this little world , where nearly all come for pleasure and amusement nnd where few are disappointed , until the hour has come to say goodby to lovely place , charming society , the brilliant sunshine and the warm sea , flowers and fruits and all , and while Its nemorles are fresh to tell some of Us most notable Incidents to Bee readers. THE CARNIVAL. The last half of the carnival season tended to redeem the failure of the first part. All In all It has been u strange , mad scene , when tlio battles of confetti took place. Probably nowhere else In all the world do llko scenes take place. Nice during carni val Is really like a thousand bedlams In tumult and roar , yet It Is hardly n riot of disorder. The thousands of masked per sons know very well Just how far they dare extend their frolics. While there is not much novelty as to character , yet no doubt the Nice carnival Is more popular and bet ter atlcnded than anywhere else. It does seem strange , on rellecllon , what fascination these old Bacchanalian revels have for the people. They were really the amusements of the Egyptians moro than 4,000 years ago , and after them of the Romans , Greeks and Phoenicians , In whoso countries they are either already dead or entirely dying out , while hero In this secluded corner of France Is today being held the gay and old pastimes , where Tuscans , Venetians and even Romans come to see how were carried on the wild sports and revels of their forefathers. Here In Nice Is found the real home of King Carnival. The season of the short-lived king is. Indeed , brief , but merry to the last moment , followed by months of Inanimation , until he shall rise Phoenlx-llko next year from his ashes to again rule over his Joyous devotees. Thus , If you would see the French at their merriest , for Just as they are the most In dustrious people In the world , so do they , ' knowthe 'full meaning moro than any 'other , 0"f the little word fun , go to Nice- during the reign of King Carnival , don domino and mask and saunter forth , leaving your prudIshness - Ishness aside. From 8 o'clock until midnight you may go up and down the streets In the midst of thousands , visit restaurants , cafes , any place where the crowd enters , ' and find nowhere an accident or unkind word , nor In sult , but only the gayest freedom , sharpest sallies of wit , not an angry person , but everyone ono Jolly and good tempered. AH about are bright Illuminations and showers ot confetti , paper streamers , gay dancers on thq level streets , formed as a party may come to gether , and above all the din of music or roar of laughter or hum ot human voices. In the evening frolics In the streets and squares ; the confetti used in the night battles Is the little bits of paper In every color , which Is thrown by every ono over his neighbor , while In the day battles of confetti the stuff Is n small pea of powder , which when thrown breaks over ono , leaving one white , the streets appearing as If a mild snow storm had passed over the place. Then , too , the carnival balls are Just as gay. Wild and merry sayings and doings from commence ment to finish Interspersed with the dancing program , which Is Invariably carried out to the letter. letter.A A RIOT 01 ? MERRIMENT. The 'English and Americans are not one whit too good by any means for such fun , but altogether too "nice. " There can be no po'sslble harm In such an evening's amusement. For four evenings wo "took In" the sights In this fashion. Cafes , where' could bo served hundreds at a time with any drink that might bo called for ; places where men and women came freely together , drank , laughed , chatted and smoked , and In all not one Intoxicated per son was found , nor any Indecent language heard. This would be an Impossibility among "temperate" English or Americans , \vt\li > . all their seriousness , dignity and decorum. But , then , It's every country for Itself , as' to such amusement , etc. But ono accident occurred , and that at a place crossed by hundreds and hundreds ot cubs , amidst thousands of persons. Anyhow , we are convinced that a little season ot such fun cannot bo hurtful to any ono. ' But now carnival Is over. The gay old king , seated on his drum on a great chariot , was last .night taken to the great place of the palace of the prefecture , accompanied by hundreds of paraders In mask , torch light bearers by other hundreds , music , and rockets , and tlioro burnt dmldst the wildest enjoyment. The lllnml- nallons and slreet decorations , and these ot the palace and grounds were very fine and tjio fun was enjoyed for some time , after which the season closed by Iho Vcgllono or all night masked ball at tjio great and Im mense opera house , where G o'clock saw the finish of the last dance. Today the streets ore as perfectly clean as If carnival were two weeks In the past. every rubbish having disappeared , while everywhere merry promenadcrs are out In gay costumes , handsome carriages and nn air no less gay than yesterday , though It is the commencement ot the season ot lurns and penotes now , Nice and her 80,000 souls , with her thousands of visitors will no doubt move along moro quietly for a time. MONTE CARLO. < This brings us to Lenten doings nnd no where can ono see moro such "doings" than at Monte Carlo. It there really la In this world ono spot prettier than another , or prettier than all others , It mUst bo Monte Carlo , a place that all over the world travelers declare to have no equal as to beauty. In the first place ho location of the tiny principality Is Ideal , [ t is just high enough and Just enough over Highest of all in LeaveningPower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report the sea. nnd so nhcltered. from the land sldo by mountain * as tj be Riven n glorious cllmato and n panorama unsurpassed oven by Naples' glorious luy , Then Monaco covera nnother hill nnd slopes down Inlo n Ilitle rnvlnt1 and up the Bides of Monte C'arlo. until there la no divid ing line visible , both places showing lovely vllas , beautiful strocts , Innumerable terraces and viaducts , nnd porfuctly Indescribable gardens , Hero the laden orange trees show forth In golden splendor , mandarines just ns rich In color and ns plenty , their richness toned down some by HIP cool lemon in paler hue , nnd along with tlio golden fruits coma roses In profusion , primroses , Roman liyn- clncths , carnations nnd lilies , geraniums llko hedges and thousands of others of Moras gifts , until from the great palms of every variety , cacti , vines that falter at no height of wnll , villa or terrace , all In mien lovely profusion , ono really feels to bo In a tropical land. So perfectly kept Is everyUiltiB In Monte Carlo that not even a dead flower or loaf Is to bo found on the velvety swards or by shrub , neither In gar dens , parks or on the Terrace. The perfect order and nlconess of every thing never censes to bo n marvel to the Visitor. Now to see the world at Monte Carlo , the gamblers paradise It Is true enough , don't bo In a hurry. Now that you are hero make a careful toilet , for here every one appears 111 h s or her best , nnd go leisurely forth. Nowhere In all the world will you ever flnd a greater collection from every calllnc ' J ? , " 1IlnIl 'l ' xfor study than Jn hcro , nro rcnllv crowds of notables nnd nil well dressed. Then there Is that proud sot of villa holders with their air. of proprietorship who take up much of thn terrace nnd nil most of the scuts around tin- fountain In the morning , us If the place was their personal property. But , never mind these people. Let us watch the palpitating crowd as It hurries up from the early trains from all surrounding places and rush for their chairs round the tables in s-ille do jeu. That crowd at the train really did not show the politeness towards each other Hint you would find any evening In Chicago when thu 0 o clock trains begin to fill with the hurryIng - Ing , everyday working people. It Is Ihen'u wild rush , but one much milder and moro polite than this mad crowd of elegant , rich , and many noted people , bound for Monte Carlo. THE TIGKll'S LAIR. But wo must leave all the outside Interest and fascinating beauty of surroundings , the unrivalled gardens , etc. , ai.d enter this won derful building the Casino with Its splendid - did saloons and wondrously splendid tliealer. Wo cannot stay for a concert or an opera at which will perform some of the best of the world's artists , but spend our time among that elegantly dressed throng at the lables or promenading through the' gorgeous saloons. There Is no noise or loud talk , only the low hum of voices , with all Interest on the games or In studying the system each ono seems to have figured out on a small whlto card ho carries In hand. Some ono declares there Is noth ing in systems , nothing at all. yet ho has a little plan of what they call "progression. " But wo flnd nearly every one plays by sys tem , nnd that the ones who do not are slrn- ply not considered In It. This led us lo try not n plan of progression , but of division. Having desired to see what the little wheel of the roulettp table.would do With No. 28 , we watched three games , showing 3 , C , 11 , the respective winners , when we felt 28 to ' be two times too high at least , divided It exaelly , played on 14 , won , played again on same number and won , leaving llmt little experience 1,100 francs ahead utter twenty minutes of study and no system. To Invent combinations , mostly devoid of mathematical accuracy. Is really considered to show Intcl- lecl. This we did not know until a keen ob server and an old player at the lables told us. Ho declared that n few years ago a system player was derided , while now he felt It certainly betlcr to Ireat the stock amusement ot the place as a game of skill rather than hazard. Just then In walked a new comer , who played on No. 11 , winning. He played again , and oven the third time the same number turned up again a winner , when the gentleman pocketed his 1,040 francs and walked out. . "What do you call that , skill or luck ? " wo asked. "That's Just what I wanted to ask , " said he. And going on , without any digression , said : "That Is the very thing to do. My belief is Uiat the .pub- . * lie which now- gathers more numerously round the tables Is not really 'so rash nnd reckless , not so hopelessly fascinated as In former years , Tlio public really under stands better when to leave off and It Is to this very reason many trace the cause of the administration's dividends being so low for the last quotation. " This seems hard on the administration of the Casino , but Is not likely to soon bring bankruptcy upon them , from the numbers of rich nnd rnrkless who are among their almost dally vicllms Hero wen * si-en royalties mid many per sons of title , ainunx others , the popular Count Elohy. who has Just won the grand prlx at the pigeon shooting tournament , who promised fount KstiThnrxy that If ho won the great prlro ho would not place a stnko Upon the tnblu * . Thus nnolhor big prize will not flnd Its way back to the Casino bank. The royalties constantly strolling over the w l i world-famed teriace , with Its view of snn nnd sky nnd shore , so beautiful as tu bo / I without a rival , were too numerous to men tion , But ono couple , especially line ap pearing , were the grand duke nnd duchess of Lcuchtcnbcrg , the grand dllko being u great grandson of the beautiful Empress Josephine. Aunt her was the royal oculist , Duke Charles Theodore of llavarla , nnd a singularly handsome Portuguese prince , W'hllo another , nnd ono familiar to Americans , was Mrs. Langtry , elegaully dressed. whom wo saw a few moments before seated nt the table Irenlo quaranto , with n pile of gold gleaming under her Jeweled hands , while she played on us calmly as If not most observed of all present. But a few hours of this Is enough. During n visit to Monaco wo found several shops where nro sold Jqwcls nt very low prices- prices that are really startling. Asked the reason wo were told what common sense might have before told. They are the beau tiful trinkets sold by visitors hero who deslro moro money for play. They must sell their , jewelry outright , as at Monte Carlo you can , only play what money you have In your j pockets. There Is no lending by the bank on , securities nothing of llmt sort. Every ono I Is free to play or not. ns ho likes , but no one i can go n cent beyond what ho has In hand. H Is remarkable , though , to walch Iho Inler- est of all. The many tables arc surrounded by flvo and six deep , nnd Ihls day In and out. It would seem that Interest would sometime lag , but It does not. After learning nnd see ing us much as time would possibly allow , wo leave the sunny slopes and gay llfo and move northward , reluctantly enough , oven though our destination Is Paris. There for some weeks wo shall no doubt flnd much amusement , ns wo know there awaits ns un told Interest In the great city that Is really the center to which nearly all go , whether lo paint , to study , to sing , to act , to write , to shop or whatever may bo one's mission abroad. There Is In Paris room for all , It would seem , by the readiness with which she absorbs the thousands who como to her yearly. From there wo trust to have some thing of Interest to write. ALLIB C. W1LLARD. AN Jrr. ScuMrlcl Writes to the r.udtog of Onmliit from New York City. To tha Ladles of Omaha ; I am led lo Indllo Ihls open letter after n week duvoted to the Inspection of ready made costumes in this market , comprising the very latest productions of noled Parisian modistes nnd their Americanized reproduc tions ; I can truthfully state that the ready made suit business as now conducted Is a revelation heretofore undreamed of , and not to be compared with anything attempted In the past. Hero In New York a lady needing a street or house gown has only to step Inlo a specialty suit house nnd In thirty minutes 1ms made her selection ; she sees on herself the garment completed , nnd orders It sent homo with a feeling of satisfaction unknown to Ihe lady who gives an order for a gown lo a dressmaker to bo completed three of four weeks later. Why should the ladles of Omaha submit to the annoyance of a month's delay , after a half dozen tedious fittings , only at last. In many cases , to experience bitter disappoint ment ? Why put money In materials and pay for making , only to secure n dress that looks anything but what your Imagination pictured It was to be , and which never can bo worn with satisfaction ? It Is my purpose to give you the opportun ity to enjoy the same advantages ns your eastern sisters , having made preparations to carry a stock of ready made coslumes Ihls spring Uiat will satisfy the most critical as regards materials , designs nnd comblna- llons , always -guaranteeing porfecllon In lit and exclusive designs for each purchaser.
