Viennese Wining, Dining Described by By MARGARET SHULER Vienna The Viennese love to eat. They do it with zest, right around the clock, begin ning with the typical Conti nental breakfast of rolls, jam and coffee. At 10 o'clock they have a second breakfast Jausa, they call it, and at 12 they eat luncheon. In the aft ernoon at five o'clock they have another Jausa which in volves rich pastry. Then comes the evening meal, after which coffee and cognac are served in the salon along with tiny cakes. In the city, there are eating places of one sort or another in almost every block. You can run the gamut, starting with the typical Bier Kellers, where if you wish, you may bring your own sandwiches, and spend an entire evening sitting at a long table with a bottle of wine, or beer, in a cellar 150 years old. Here, if you are the singing in your beer type, you can do that too, with orchestra of fiddle, gui tar and accordion Austrian folk songs. In one such place. a wandering minstrel first sang his "O du lieber Augus tin" a stone cellar with Goth ic arched roof, time-blackened, running catacomb-like under a museum. Famous men have carved their names, and left autographs in these fabulous places. From the Bier Keller you may go a few short blocks to the other extreme and find also in an ancient part of the city a rococo e 1 e g a n c e gold clad footmen and much service. Here, prices reach the peak. In between these extremes are good restaurants where there is a quiet leisurely at mosphere. The Opern cafe, across from the opera house, is one of these. Here, you sit in rose-colored velour arm chairs, or sofas, under crystal chandeliers, look out onto the street from large picture win dows and read the daily news papers of your c o u n t r y whatever it is. The head wai ter brings them to you, along with half a dozen picture magazines. They are neatly fastened into wicker frames. In this pleasant environment you may sit, unmolested for hours, reading, writing or vis iting. You may order but a cup of coffee-or you may or der the daily eighty-c e n t luncheon. Sachet's Famoui The first class hotels, of which Sacher's is the most fa mous and dramatic, from a historical standpoint, serve beautiful food in beautiful style crystal, procelain and silver; servants in tails, and orchestras. Then there are cafes-like the Mozart of "Third Man" fame. (They say there are Americans who come to Vien na primarily to see the city of thi "Third Man." One nieht club claims the best violinist! in Vienna, who plays Ruman ian gypsy music. This club is called, rather incongruously it would seem, "Le Mon seigneur." For the gourmet who wishes a specialty like crisp, roasted breast of goose, or crepes su zette, there are places to find them also. Or the famous strawberry bowl, a dessert drink. (This is made of fresh, sliced strawberries to which sugar and Cointreau are added and allowed to brew for three or four hours. Just before serving a small bottle of champagne is added.) This is considered the apogee of Vi ennese desserts. The Espresso coffee shop is sort of a combination of American club and corner drugstore, excepting that you ENROLL NOW!

The Apotheka, and that alone, sells drugs. A "Kleinen braunen, bitte" is what you ask for at the Es presso little cups of brown coffee, please. You are apt to acquire such a habit at this that you become an addicts a coffee inebriate. It is rich, strong, golden brown fair ly oozing coffee. oil. The Aida is such a coffee house. It stands on a corner vis-a-vis from the Opera house. Interminable coffee drinkers fill the little place all day long. Open In Summer In the summer, glass walls are removed and the tables spread out way on to the aide walk. From nine in the morn ing until nine at night, win ter or summer, the place bursts with customers, crowd ed around little tables and standing at counters. Pretty girls in pink uniforms, always pleasant, are as busy as bees. The same people come every day to the Aida ballet danc ers, opera singers, philhar monic orchestra members, teachers, business men, atomic energy commission workers, and of course, many older boys and girls. If you have any desire to be friendly, you soon become acquainted. To an American until ori ented, it is all quite incompre hensible. That you may sit, visiting complacently over a little cup of coffee, while doz ens of people are milling about looking for seats, is un thinkable. This is one place where native, courtly Austrian courtesy doesn't exist. No one would dream of leaving be cause someone else would like a place to sit down. In fact, you will see chairs, which could be occupied, filled with purses and wraps. No one gets cross or seems to mind. In any coffee shop you may order cocktails, vodka, whis key or cognac and for ap proximately what a cup of coffee costs. But coffee is by and far the most popular drink. Windows and show cases of coffee shops are filled with multitudinous, wondrous, eye catching sweets. An "Aus lander" is apt to go, at first, a bit berserk. But as a young American said, after having eaten two of the heavenly deli cacies, "You begin to see through them after a while." And you do. They are just plain, hundreds of calories worth of sugar and butter formed into glorious, exciting shapes and ornamented like brilliant jewels. Perhaps the most inexpli cable European custom to an American is the one of never giving a bill until you ask for it. You could sit' all day, and a waiter would never come near you after he has served you. You must call him. In German you say, "Settle, please." Then he may or he may not, come immedi ately. He asks you if you have eaten a roll (you pay accord ing to the number you eat.) Then he lists all the items you have ordered, adds a service charge and he says "bitte"; you say "danke" and that is it. Unlike Italy, though, there are never anonymous little illegible items listed. If you come from Rome, or Paris, or Oregon, you are hap pily surprised at how inex pensive eating and drinking or up the social scale wining and dining is in Vienna. Where, but here, for instance, could you sit in a charming little restaurant atmosphere drenched and eat a three course luncheon for 48 cents, Singers Announced Eugene The University of Oregon Singers, under the di rection of Prof. Max Risipger of the school of music, will present a hour and a half pro gram at the Medford High school auditorium, March 25.
