WOMAN, HAT OFF,
ARRESTED AT TABLE
Restaurant Man Sued for $5,-
900 When He Demands Full
Attire in Dining Room.

The Supreme Court has been asked
to decide whether it is the correct
thing for a woman to dine in public
without her headgear. The question
has been submitted to the court,
through the stand taken by the pro-
prietor of q restaurant, that no woman
not fully attired, including her hat, can
dine in his establishment. 1t is the first
case of its kind on record in this city.
Miss Florence De Witt and William
b. Wette filed suit yesterday against
William Weimann, who owns a restsu-
rant at St. Nicholas av. and l61st ST.,
for $4,000 damages.
II is alleged that the restaurant man
caused their arrest after Mr. Wette re-
fused to pay for what he had ordered
but not eaten, when the manager in
sisted that Miss De Witt must wear her
hat if she wished to dine in that place.
Miss De Witt refused TO put on her
hat, which she had removed after CIV
ing her order TO the waiter. The man
ager insisted on payment for the din
ner ordered and Wette refused TO pay.
A policeman was called and Miss De
Witt and Mr.. Wette were arrested. At
the station house they were released.
