rice on the floor. and the woman

that the bride was every moment be-

FOE TO HAT TIPPING

Count Johann Harrach, one of the greatest
mobiles in Austria, is heading movement to
abolish hat-raising as form of salutation and to
substitute the military salute The supporters of
the movement declare that this exposure of the
head induces colds, influenza and other ailments
and even badness 1t might also be added that
it causes hats to become worn out much more
rapidly than they would otherwise be.
Austrian etiquette requires man to raise his
hat to all his acquaintance, male and female
alike, as well as to his social interiors such as
cabmen and servants. Hence anybody with a
tolerably large bowling acquaintance is continually
lifting his hat as he goes along the streets. Count
Harrach says this may be all very we'll in a mod
