better day for the staging of the
Fete Champetre at Ganneston park
could not have been chosen and with
everything favorable, and the affair
which was the first of the kind ever
given in the city, was in every way
a brilliant success. People from Hal
lowell Gardiner as well as Augusta
turned out and the grounds We're
crowded all through the afternoon
The park proved to be an ideal spot
for the fete, the many trees offering
the visitors great protection from the
heat of the day. The program was sc
arranged that all present found plenty
of amusement, and safe to say, there
was not d person on the grounds who
will not long remember the occasion
with pleasure.
The Dances and Parades
While the track events were being
held in one part of the park the Can
nett tennis court was the scene OF
many hard-fought matches to deter
mine the winners of the cups. Lovers
of this sport were we'll pleased with
the exhibition of tennis given, each
match being well contested.
The first match of the afternoon was
between Mrs. Daniel Nash and Miss
Francis Purinton to determine the
champion of the ladies single. Mrs
Nash took the three sets in success
sion with the following scores: 6-3,
6-1, and 6-3 Miss Purinton played an
aggressive game but was not as steady
a player as her opponent.
This match was followed by the bat
tie in the boys singles, between Lewis
johnson and Frank Babbitt. The boys
were well matched and the sets
proved to be most interesting. johnson
had the advantage, taking the first
three sets by the scores: Ga, g., and
6-1.
Later in the afternoon the matches
of the boys doubles were played OFF
between Holway and Johnson vs.. Ing
raham and Leigh. The latter couple
put up a good fight for the cup but
were somewhat outelassed, the seats
going to Holway and Johnson, 6-I 81
and 60.

ed one or two cents on every doz-
en- rolls. or loaf of bread, etc.
In all this seething discussion of
the high cost of everything. the
dealers unanimously agree that one
reason for the increased cost of
many articles of food to the con-
sumer Is the greatly increased cost
OF delivery which the firms must
meet. l don't believe the woman
OF today stops to think what II
means for large firm to deliveI
TO her free a small package of a
pound or two. Sent by parcel
post at the very lowest rate. in
the first zone even such packages
would cost from to cents. And
yet. most unthinkingly. the con-
sumer insists not only that various
firms shall send out substantial
orders free Of charge. but that
local dealers shall trot over at her
every whim and make a special
trip for a loaf Of bread or a cent
bag of salt. Is IL any wonder then.
that owing to the necessity for
Keeping up delivery wagons and
drivers more than formerly, the
dealer has to make up the cost
somewhere and he. of course, makes
the consumer pay for it.
Ihis is exactly the reason why in
fashionable suburbs groceries, meat.
and vegetable costs are so high. In
such suburbs very generally more
ordering is done in an hour-to-hour
fashion. and. as one good cook I
knew told me, she was permitted Gn
this suburb to order as often as
six times a day II she wanted to,
The bakery where this difference
IN rate prevailed was sensibly solv-
ing the problem both for itself and
the customer. 1t was worth an
actual cost OF cents to have the

Another store in n different line that
follows the same pOliCv with great
success is a well-known dry goods
establishment in Boston. This store
caters TO the very best class of trade
and vet II has a discrimination in
rate between packages taken home
and packages sent. The price on
goods is the same. but an addition
al charge OF 10 cents or more. ac-
cording to the size of the package.
Is made for delivery. Is this not
fair? The sam idea holds true IN
marketing. and one reason that
women can buy more cheaply In the
general market is because they
themselves save the cost of delivery.
Similarly. various stores which make
a point OF selling at a low price.
at the same time announce they will
not deliver an order less than a
dollar
Unless the customer realizes that
delivery expenses are appreciable
and that perhaps she can save her
self money by better ordering. the
cost OF living will continue to aero
plane. It is not always pleasant to
carry home small parcels. The
alternative is more scientific. and
wholesale buying so that dealers
will he saved the ruinous expense OF
keeping a delivery team waiting for
every order of a loaf OF bread or
can of beaches. Will you carry your
