The Price Of Pie.

The advance Of the price Of pie In
certain popular restaurants from five
to ten cents Is Of the misfortunes
incidental to the upward sweep Of
living costs. Nitrogen may be taken
from the mir, but pie materials cannot,
and the only acceptable substitute for
pumpkin, for instance. Is squash.
which Is just as costly. . The rise In
flour affects the cost of pastry and all
pie fruits are more expensive than
they used tn be.
The doublers of pie prices try to
make amends by cutting the pie into
six segments instead of seven. This
will make for economy In knives. for
the pie carver will be able by making
three diametrical strokes to achieve
the artistic end. The pie eater will
have more pie and the pie cutter will
go home less exhausted. This in
req of the size Of the portion Is
much more To the public liking than
Is the r~etrenchment practiscd In the
more expensive restaurants where pie
Is fifteen or more cents Il cut. These
naughty places, too cownrdly to raise
the price. have reduced the size Of
the piece until II Is but u wedge that
a hoy could drive into his face with
one stroke If the palm. But the
crime goes unpunishrl. for in the
| cil,led food palaces men are not brave
enough to cry out upon the smnllness
of Il piece Of pie.
Some pie economist might teach

of the costly lower crust.
