There is another factor, however,

fact that the meats and other dishes

Gotham Getting the Free Lunch Habit

their own Gordon bleu at home are
glad to get ham American style with
out champagne sauce or roast beef
without mushroom fixings or rich
gravies.
The evolution Of the free lunch,
which, 1t is figured, now costs cafe
proprietors over $1,500.000 q year in
New York city alone. has brought
about a reversal in caste for all free
lunchers. Not many years ago the
free lunch was to be found only In
little drinking places, where beef
stew or potato salad, served in huge
platters, was eaten with commercial
fork taken from glass of water. And
the man who patronized it was looked
upon as broke" and q sort of graft
er. To-day the free lunch is q regu-
lar institution In many of the lead
ing hotels. Its menu is prepared by
the head chef and its dishes are as
daintily prepared and served as Is
milady's luncheon In the palm room.
Frequently the lunch IL presided over
by an assistant chef and has its own
corps of walters, just as attentive as
those who serve turtle and canvas
back.
The free lunch also has progressed
in the smaller places. and probably
three-quarters of the 1000 cafes In
New York now serve fairly elaborate
lunches. consisting Of soup or meat
and variety of relishes.
The free lunch is an American in
stitution. Beyond the confines Of the
United States you will look for it in
vain. 1t is development of condi-
tons which exist nowhere else In
the whole world.

1t is announced in Highpoint that
Mr.. Brokaw has sold his mountain pre-
serve to his uncle, William Gould, OF
New York. for $250,0o0. He told
persons to whom he talked before
leaving Highpoint that he would
never return to that part Of the coun.
try.
Following the departure of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brokaw most of the servants at
Fairview started for New York. From
their gossip it was gathered that the
honeymoon of the millionaire and his
wife was a stormy period.
During the Christmas holidays Mr..
Brokaw gave house party to q
crowd from New York. The servants
told Of scene one night at dinner
before the guests, between Mr.. Bro.
kaw and his wife, because Mr.. Brokaw
insisted that she should drink ginger
ale instead of champagne.
After every one In the house had
retired, the servants said, Mrs. Brokav
got ap, dressed. and made her way
to Highpoint. where she engaged 10
commodations at q little hotel. The
next day guests at Fairview persuaded
her to return to her husbands house
