MfIlionaires' Freak Dinner.

Freak" dinners have become quite
fashionable with millionaires in Lon
don ar i America.
The latest freak" repast in London
was the return banquet of the Hatton
Garden diamond brokers to their form
er host, Mr.. Harry Barnato. On Sat
urday the eleven gentlemen, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Barnato, who sat down at
the New Gaiety Restaurant In the Duke
of Connaught Rooms, found themselves
suddenly translated to the congenial
region of the Kimberly diggings.
The deception was marvellous. Birds
flew around as they entered, and chirp-
ed as they fitted from plant to plant.
Huge quartz blocks, artistically ar
ranged at once suggested the mines,
and sand had been literally strewn on
the floor.
ter Of the room, and close by was
portable washing stand with the in
junction, "Please wash your hands be-
fore sitting down to eat" Veldt carts,
tpickaxes, bags of "dust" (gold, Of
'course), helped to give finishing
touch to the striking scene. No detail
was too Insignificant to Fl. Mobile, who
designed the unique function.
Turtle soup served out Of huge
scauldron, while two armed Beers did
sentry duty, was enough to complete
the illusion. When dessert was reached
three huge blocks Of Ice representing
a Cape cart drawn by buliocks was
wheeled In on trolley, and from this
cart ices were seryed.-London Mail.
