Ate All the Rolls in Sight—Three.
The most striking effect of the eight months of war on Vienna has been the banishment of the roll which has made the Austrian capital famous. The Café Imperial on rare occasions with late coffee still serves white rolls. The other evening three were brought to a party of six, just as the party was finishing the meal, and an American girl, who came late, ate all three.
