TRAVELETTE

Vienna.

tlCUllds
Life in Vienna offers many incon-
gruities to the American. First, he
will find, unless he has taken the pre-
caution to equip himself with large
sums of money, that he cannot pos
sibly afford to live anywhere except in
a fiat. No one except the nobility and
extremely rich foreigners can hope to
have a whole house to himself.
He will find that he can ride upward
in an elevator. but that he must walk
down. He will find that If he wants
TO see anything of the place. and how
its inhabitants enjoy themselves, he
must stay out all night. When he
comes home late he must tip the door
keeper in order to get into his own
house.
The people frequent the cafes of
Vienna so constantly that peddlers OF
linen derive smart income from sales
to be used on the spot. The guest who
is accepting hospitality may decline to
have drink, but in all Likelihood he
will accept a clean collar.
In Vienna the retired chorus girls
are pensioners, the flower girls are
grandmothers and the messenger boys
are men. These grown-up messenger
They are dressed in distinctive uni
forms and are licensed to perform
many kinds of work other than run
ming errands. 1t would doubtless be
more correct to style them men of
all chores rather than Jacks of all
trades" Witness the varied and un-
usual service rendered by one of them
in a single day:
His first job was to rebottle some
wine; then he cleaned a pipe for an
invalid bachelor. After that he clipped
a dog for an actress; next he beat
carpet for a boarding house keeper;
then he curried a cabman's horse, pol
ished an officers sword; and after
packing trunk for departing trav-
eler wound up the day by helping a
plumber deliver bathtub.
Yet the commissioner" did not
hesitate to complain of the times, He
was quite willing to be quoted as stat
ing that he hoped conditions would
busy.

nearly half years hesitation. is sup.
posed to be non.partisan business
mems agency Of government. That
probably explains why of the five
members nominated yesterday three
are Democrats and none OF them Re.
publican and that three OF the five
selected are lawyers. Possibly It ex.
plains why the first name on the list
Is that Of politician whose chief
distinction Is that he was a practical
man In Mr.. Wilson'S campaign and
that the second name is that OF
friend and lobbyist who It is said
was instrumental In turning $4,000
into the Democratic fund for 1912.
The care with which the President ex.
cluded from the commission anybody
who might be identified as an unhy.
phenated Republican furnishes new
evidence that Mr.. Wilson Is broad
minded III large matters. 1t Is also
a reminder that Republicans aren't
much in business and that those Re.
publicans who know anything about
trade between states are not to be
trusted.
