New Years Is, in Vienna, denominated
the ''poIite week." If you are In
Vienna during this week, and are in
any degree mystified by the daily oc-
currences around you, it is a mystifica-
tion which will be dispelled by, atleast,
the evening of the second of January.
Every one who sees you Is SO unusually
attentive toy0ur wants, so remarkably
polite, that you fancy the servants of
Vienna are equal in their manners to
the princes of0ther lands. The man
who builds your fire appears promptly

sudden appearance of the chamber
maid, in answer to yOslr call, Is like an
apparition called up by magic; your
oraer when given is Immediately exc
cuted. AS you pass along the corri-
dors the servants, both male and
female, greet you with such marked
reverence that you wonder II they do
not mistake you for q nObleman In
disguise, and your appreciation of the
grace and dignity of your bearing takes
an upward tendency. The porter
