"_Any baigneur found out of his hotel or lodgings after 10.15, p.m., shall be arrested, conducted back to his hotel, his number taken, and for the second offence he shall be fined. The fine to go to such objects as the Direction shall determine._" In short there should be introduced here the English University system of Proctors and bull-dogs. * * * * * _Another Rule._--No theatrical entertainment should last more than two hours with _entr'actes_ of seven minutes each. The ventilation of the _salle de spectacle_ should be assured. * * * * * If a company wanted to play a piece in four Acts, they must stop here two days; and, if they couldn't do that, then they must begin their performance in the afternoon, have one _entr'acte_ of an hour and a half to allow for dinner, and recommence at eight o'clock. I would discourage all evening indoor entertainments. Music, coffee, _petits chevaux_, M. GUIGNOL'S show, _ombres chinoises_, everything in fact that can be done _al fresco_--(and why not good plays _al fresco_? After the Laboucherian _Midsummer Night's Dream_, at Twickenham, which I am told was perfection)--_cafes chantants_, and so forth, including the "_consommation_ devoutly to be wished," and all the lights out by 9.30. Lights in bedrooms to be extinguished same hour. This rule would mean, Early to bed, and early to rise, and the "_baigneurs_" would receive double the benefit they derive from these places, as now constituted. Life in the open air should be the rule; plenty of exercise, riding and walking, and regular hours for everything for three weeks. The _baigneurs_ to choose their own hours, and be kept to them strictly. * * * * * But I have personally no sympathy with the _baigneurs_ who find such a water-cure place as Royat dull. What do they want? If they cannot get on without a sort of continuation of the London Season, let them stay away altogether. Don't let them come and make night hideous with balls, suppers, dances, and won't-go-home-till-morning parties. * * * * * The above are my suggestions for the improvement of Royat; and now I go on to La Bourboule, and Mont Dore. By the way, the waters at these places are all supplied, as I am credibly informed, from the same source; but the waters flowing towards La Bourboule and Mont Dore traverse certain _couches_ on their way, and come out arsenical. It is strong drinking at La Bourboule and Mont Dore. * * * * *
