The spirit of carnival passes me by with a disdainful glance, for I have no "frack !! hore, sod I do not propose to pay 441,000) crowns (£er at the present rate of exchange) for a new one.

The air of false prosperity which sur rounds the heart of Vienna is astound- ing. Beautiful women in filmy dresses, which each cost a little more than the yearly salary of the present Austrian Prime Minister, frequent the lounges of the fashionable hotels. They are escorted by immaculately attired cavaliers

CHAMPAGNE.

There must be more cabarets in Vienna to the square foot than" in any other capital in Europe: The entertainment provided is of the most sumptuous character, and is invariably accompanied by Austrian, champagne, the price of which per bottle is more than the weekly "salary, of a clerk. It tastes rather like poor cider highly aerated. There is however, so much paper money about that the cabareta' visitors care little what sort of amusement or drinks are provided so long as they can spend money.

The net profits of the Tabarin, Vienna's most famous place of luxury, are stated to exceed 230,000 crowUS PER week * (representing nominally £11,000). Where does all the money come from when Austrip is crying aloud to the world that the disintegration of the country is imminent?

A little incident, typical of Vienna-Lifs, which I witnessed in a café,, may, por haps, supply the answer. A young man of middle-class family was sitting with his sweetheart, a pretty fair-haired girl. "What shall we do tonight?" asked the girl,

“I've got a box for the big masked ball, replied her lover

"But that costs 10,000 crowns,” cried the girl, in o scared voice. PRE

The young man in reply pulled out a bundle of dollar notes.

"Made 78,000 to-day in speculating ou the American exchange rates," he whis pered. The girl'e eyes lit "up" with pleasure had admiration.

VICE AND LUXURY.

It is hard to find pity for Austria's starving millions when rico, luxury, and dissipation of every sort are eating into. the core of the capital. There appear to be little effort on the part of the Aus trians to help themselves. The popula tion is doped from day to day by the publication every half hour of some story of fresh credits which one of the Allied Powers is about to grant. Now it is 20,000,000 dollars froni America. now 60,000 lire from Italy, or 200,000,000 francs from France.

N

The Neue Freie Presse however, calls a halt. It states:- Vienna is drunk with the intoxication of luxury. It vis true that.only a few thousands are con]} cerned, and that huge masses are living in the direst want. Still, a note of warn- ing must be sounded: Austria is poverty- stricken, and there is no need to copy the behaviour of the inhabitants of those countries which conquered "us. USA ASAP

"Must our women appear with their entire backs bare or in dresses which scarcely deserve the name of clothing? is it necessary that Viennese should, in one evening, spend sums of money that formerly would have kept a family in

comfort for several ye

How We WOMEN AND

The Neue Freie Presse adds that Aus tria cannot expect sympathy and help. from foreign countries when it shows examples of frivolity and self-indulgence. It blames the depreciation of the Aus trian crown for more than half the troubles of Austria. "Our rotten mone tary standard is like a corpse where the flies collect," says the journal and e Der Abend caricatures cruelly this phase of Viennese life. It shows the interior of a luxurious cabaret, with beautiful women amid many bottles of champagne. The caption is, No won der a loan of 200,000,000 French franca is not sufficient to help Vienas,” sa

It stated that Austria will receive this year. only a third of its minimum requirements of coal for industrial pur poses. Yet the Austrian newspaper blindly announce to-day that during the carnival season every restaurant café, dance-hall, and cabaret is permitted to remain open until one in the morning.

For the past two days heavy falls of snow alternating with a downpour of rain, havo filled the Viennese streets deep in slush. The municipality advertised for 3,000 unemployed to clear the mess away Ninety-three replies were received t The food situation is not nearly so bad as the Austrians make out, and there are enough raw: tuaterials to enable the country considerably to increase its ex- ports if the Austrians would get down to work. International franciers natur- ally hesitate to invest their money when it is apparent that the p greater part would be frittored away
