AMERICANS on their way to-
IA Europe will do well to check
the local ground rules of etiquette
before debarking.
Should some strange circum-
stance require you to pay a cour-
tesy call on a new mother living
in the county of Achterhoek in
eastern Holland you would be re-
ceived not by the mother, but by
the father of the household whose
code of manners requires him to
greet well-wishers while tucked
comfortably In bed. :
Not all of Europe's manners will
prove as startling as the ritual of
Achterhoek, although ladies who
are given to smoking cigars may
puff away oontentedly in Denmark
without attracting undue notice.
And in parts of Northern Europe,
it's not taboo to 60 swimming in
ones birthday suit.
ONE should be prepared to be
greeted in a Yugoslavian home, no
matter the time of day. with a dish
of slatko, a gooey compete cemented
with a thick, rich sauce. 1t is a
near insult not to attack this dish
with gusto.
An invitation to dinner almost
anywhere in Europe means that
you will bestow a bouquet of flow
ers upon the hostess, either sending
it ahead of your arrival, bringing
it in person, or sending it after the
party. In Turkey you leave your
gift with the wraps, visible but un-
mentioned. 1t tremains both mmen-

Should someone toast your
health in Holland, don't play the
blushing rose. You're expected to
stand up and drink to yourself.
Italians will turn purple if you use
a knife on spaghetti. On the other
hand. a tea sandwich dunked in tea,
or biscOHi,si, small sugar waters,
drowned in a glass of Marsha wine
areperfectly acceptable over there.
Dining out in France you will be
expected to finish everything on
your plate even if you're sure it's
roast octopus.
Scandinavians from Iceland to
Finland expect the gentleman on
the left of the hostess to make a
little speech at the end of the din
ner saying this was the best darn
dinner he ever ate. Everybody
then shakes hands with the hostess
on the way out of the dining room.
In HOLLAND a man who has been
properly reared slips into the
kitchen after a dinner party and
gives the cook a healthy tip.
In the coffee houses. restaurants
and night clubs of Austria, South
ern Germany and Scandinavia. no
one will call the gendarmes if you
send a note or apply in person for a
dance with a young lady at an
other table. 1t is preferable if she is
in a group, and it is her privilege
to decline.

Bargain-basement scrimmages

Most Government workers now

what administrative action may
be possible, and to whether

He added that there is. another
reason for consulting the agen-

ITO drop the age limits from all
civil service jobs would not III
itself guarantee the employment

wrote. Agencies have discretion
under the civil service ruleS' to
select any one of three eligibles
certified to them for each vacancy
"The agencies must believe, and
must be convinced, that the older
citizen is fully qualified for the
