ity cannot be bought, but it
Is well known that you will
get q quick title in a Viennese
restaurant by giving a gen.
erous tip.
Forty cents will provide
you with a Thank you, Herr
Baron" or II kiss your hand,
Frau Baronin." With a dol
lar you may even be ad-
dressed as a countess.
Tip giving, this way, may
be very good for your inferi-
ority complex. But otherwise
it is a great nuisance in
Austria; it is not a budget
but a manipulation problem.
Things and especially services
are not very expensive, but
you always have to find the
change for the tip: Four
cents for the elevator, 8 cents
for opening the entrance
door of an apartment house
after 10 pm. sometimes
even 8 PM and 16 cents
after midnight.
And when you dine at a
friends home, the servant
expects about 40 cents from
you when you leave or 80
cents if you brought your
husband Cor he brought YOU'D.
Should the servant be in
visible at a late hour, you
leave the tip on a table in
the hall. There is no escape

Add a "VOn"
When you leave a message
somewhere, you can be sure
it will be correctly trans
mitted with a won" added
to your name. c'Frau Won
Smith or Frau Won Jones has
called.") It is unthinkable
for the servant otherwise,
won" being the lowest step
Of the title ladder; it also is
added to the baron and the
count so he cannot go wrong!
Austrian aristocrats are SO
used to all these habits that
even they think that every
decent person has to have
some noble background.
Austrians in general are
very kind and friendly and
enjoy foreigners. Vienna is
probably the one European

street sweepers are always
friendly and selflesSly help

Through many interna-
tional congresses and the
permanent Atomic Energy
Commission the Austrians
see a lot Of foreigners and
love the contact. But they
prefer to be invited, because
they all with some excep-
tions) live or pretend to live
on a much higher standard
than they should!
They try to get the most

On the occasion of the recent
conference for the Interna-
tional World Bank and
Monetary Fund, a big Opera
ball in white tie brought out
all the real and fake dia-
mond diademS and pearl
necklaces. The Viennese still
talk with pride about the
presence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh Auchincloss on this oc-
casion. They were delighted
to have the First Lady'S
mother among them.
Always Something
There is always something
going on in Vienna, and 1t is
typical for this city that
after this serious finance
conference. a big exhibition is
now the attraction. 1t is in
the City Hall and displays
Viennese pastry! A

pretty, but a little bit on the
fat side.

those featherlight and calorie

the hundreds Of Expresses"
or "Konditoreien," which are
never empty.
Austrians have very nice
way of entertaining at home
inexpensively: They invite
you after dinner for Turkish
coffee with young white wine
and cookies, a good basis for
a long and amusing converse
ton. For a flashy outing
after the theater or the opera,
the fashionable place to go
is still the "Edenbar" next to
st. Stephen Cathedral, where
the country counts meet and
dance as well as the city in

in the Annagasse in the old
