The coffee houses here are very
popular. They much resemble our
cafes only the management is some
what different They are crowded
from about $3.50 to 1880 a. M, as
a great number Of people breakfast
there on a cup Of coffee or tea, roll
and butter after which they usually
remain for some time reading the
newspapers. In these coffee houses
they always have the latest papers
and magazines which may be read
on request providing cup Of coffee
or beer is ordered. From 2 p. m:
until late at night the coffee houses
are rarely empty and here may be
seen many beautiful gowns and what
the Viennese call their beautiful
women.
Most of the houses here are built
of stone or cement. Il am quite sure
l haven't seen a frame house since l
left home) Therefore the houses
can be very old, as many of them
are, without looking ramshackled.
The residences Of the well-to-do peo-
pie here all have such beautiful
grounds, surrounding them, and they
seem to take great pride in the Gull
tivation of their shrubbery.
The shopping problem here is
much different from what it Is in
America. Instead OF department
stores they have small shops which
sell only a few articles Of food or.
clothing, as the case may be. For
instance, a meat shop will sell only
one or two kinds Of meat, probably
mutton and beef (never vet have ]
seen beef and pork In the same shopl
