An Evening World roporter took his stomach to one last night, and ne hasn't got through apologizing to it yet. He won't be able to square tumseif until payday. The first of these “banquets” was cer- ealed at the Hotel Nygela {n Twenty- aixth street, It was supposed to prove that the cook-stove is a useless piece ef kitchen bric-asbrav. Everything was fresh from the field. ‘There was an af- finity between st and the New Jersey Vegetarian who came over to New York foe other day and got arrested for taking his breakfast a la garden. The food was called “elementary.” It ‘was more than that, It was raw—quite the “rawest thing that ever crossed the Path of a quick-lunch connoisseur. The only feature of the affair that appeared to have been ‘cooked up" was the in- vitation. Stomachn with Pasta, This weird table d'hote was sur- rounded by folks who looked as though their stomachs might have had pasts. Every once In a while some one would @ay something scientific, and then toy with a napkin, just as if he were at a Feal dinner. Some of the diners were ld enough to know better, but all peemed to feel taey had a solemn duty to perform. All except an amiable lady from a foreign land,who wasn't ashamed to show her shoulders, and whose apple blossoms, in her hair and her corsage, made her look like a change in the ‘weather. Occasionally she would make up @ @unny face and sigh for the vineyards @nd fancy cooking of France. That was as near as she could get to a @quare meal, The menu started off with the cheer- Ing truism: “Health is natural, “Ills have to be asquired.” Soup Was Chilly, Then it rollicked along with natural,’ “soup which was vory paie and of @ cold Gisposition.

As cause of action Mr, Sherry asserte that at|s divers and sundry times the sald Jullus | © Gimbernat was served with eatables in Sherry's restaurant, Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, and that the sum total of his bill is $627.26. It Is not genied by Mr. Gimbernat that he benevolently assimilated meals in Sherry's, nor does Mr, Gimbernat cast aspersions upon the quality of the vic- tuals, But he does assert that he was charged too much for what he ate, and also that Mr. Sherry tas refured to give him an itemized bill, although he has made repeated and Insistent demands for the same. Tt seems that Mr. Gimbernat has a lot of money—to get. His fortune ts held {n trust, Representing this to Mr. Sherry and producing the documentary evidence, he was allowed to sign checks In the Fifth avenue restaurant when- ever he felt hungry. .These checks vary trom $10.90 to $33.10, When pre- sented to the persons intrusted with the laying out of Mr. Gimbernat's money these persons called upon Mr, Gimber- nat to explain. He Grew Curtous, He hadn't paid particular attention to the prices on the ill of fare when he was ordering, but when he saw how much had been charged up he was stag- gered. Forthwith he made demand for an itemized bill and held back payment. ‘Then Mr. Sherry sued, and now Mr. Gimbernat contests, alleging that Sherry’s viands are not “reasonably worth the amount charged.” To settle this question the testimony of experts will have to be taken. Sherry’s menu will be presented to ca- terers from various parts of the city and dissected, Whether it is possible for a man to expend $6 for a dinner without wine when he might fare sump- tuously In some dairy lunch for 20 cents, with a paper napkin thrown in as a souvenir, will be decided for all time. ‘Mr. Sherry, Mr. Delmonico, Mr. Mar- tin and others in Fifth avenue will) probably testify that on account of thelr | hoavy expenses for services, rent or taxes thelr prices are more than reasonable. They will affirm that they have no pullers-in, and that a man not wanting to spend’ money at their places {s not compelled to do so.

But straw hats are con- fessedly tender of constitution, hence there is no more welcome economy than to buy a good-looking straw hat for the usual price of a coarse one. There's been precious little real straw hat weather thus far this Summer—but it’s sure to come—and, thanks to this stirring offering today, men may start the season with stylish headgear at a ‘good-bye summer” price— $1.25 Each The hats are fine split and sennit straws, of latest de- sign, in a variety of widths of brim and heights of crown. They are hats that are worth $2.50 of anybody's money, and you wouldn’t even hesitate to pay $3 apiece for them. It’s a rare offering, so early in the season—and requires prompt action on your part.
