Minus a tax, govern ment stamp, cost of cashing, and lower exchange rate, this is circa 160 American dollars. At the moment I am having n cup of expresso coffee. This is necessary so that I can cash one of the 10,000 lire bills ($16). No cashier in Rome has change unless you need a cup of coffee, or something. F.ven a thousand lire poses n problem In certain shops. My money is in 10,000 lire notes, and each of these-face-tously railed "brdshects" - is about the size of a page from n good sized book. They make quite a wad and are too big in liu-lf inlrt Ihp frnnt nf n suit or dress. The obliging American Ex press company change their own checks, for a fee, into lire, and clerks, several of them at a lime, stand busily dispensing nolrs to queues of American tourists nil day, ev ery day, every week - all summer. Foreign Currency Money is difficult for Am ericans in Europe. Translat ing foreign currency into sim ple dollars and cenls causes almost a mental block at times. Then, however, is the time to be alert, because oft en a clerk, waiter or cashier Is apt lo ni.ike a mistake, and tno late, you discover that in stead nf nine bills, you may have eight.

Idiosyncrasies In Rome Kaeh time I come to Rome fand this is the fourth) I seem tn have to learn anew the idio fiyncracirs of Roman living. It takes several weeks to fall into the pattern, because pat tern there is, and after I real ise that I must count change, rven at the post office and railway station, that I can hold up long lines to do it, most of my frustrations arc over. The little prickles of dally living - taxi drivers, lire, and cars - are on one sine of me margin. On the other are the incomparable compensations which Rome offers.
