i GaStrOnOmic Freak.

Bon-vivants in London are being treated
to new sensation. There is now Gas.
tronomic Club established in Oxford street, ,
and the members of it will have the oppor-
tunity to acquire an unexampled practical
knowledge of the way the world lives,
without being put to the expense of travel
to obtain it. The new club began its career
with an Italian dinner, strictly, limited to
the dishes and wines native to Rome and
Florence, and served, we may suppose, by
King Humbert's subjects. If the plan is
followed until the nations of the world arc
exhausted, no one can complain of any lack
of variety in the fare at Oxford street. But
perhaps when it comes to China or to India
the line will be drawn; certainly in these
cases the native dinner ought not to be un-
der'akcn without preliminary educatine>
