Etiquette At Nice

One feature of lifeou the Riviera that particularly strikes the sojourner from this side of the Atlautio is the utter absence of the piaz.a Hfe that is svioh an institutioii at American aunimer and winter resorts. A reewit visitor at Nice writes to the New Vork Times: "A man may show hiruseJf here ou the Promenade des Anglais, either on foot or in coach, within oertaiu svell defined hours aud with well understood restrictions as to his uostnuie, but he must under no circumstauces be seeu sitting in front of bis own dwelliug, be it villa or hotel. The front of the preniises must be cleau and well kept, with as tnauy plauts and flowers as yon like, but there must be no anay of comfortable chairs aud little tables, as we have theni, or any other ontward sign, in fact, that sonae one lives within and gome one who knows how to take life comfortably. To sit iu front of a hotel here after breakfast, smoking the cigar of conteutment, would be a brazen defiauce of all social usages. "
