Cannes. Battle of Flowers yesterday. Five
sisters (secretly bored) in a carriage,
all dressed alike. American imitation of a rowboat. Mother as a sailor. Habit
of thinly dressed and sometimes quite nude women standing up in carriages all the time and exposing
themselves. Rapacity of two young shop girls or something who placed themselves
in the wrong seats in front of us and snatched in the most shameless manner at
all the bouquets that were thrown our way. They worried us to death.
Astonishing the joy one took in a really pretty woman in white, when there
happened to be one.
