TWO CAUCUsEs CALLED.

Two caucuses have been called for
L'Anse township, both to be held Sat
urday evening, one at L'Anse and the
regular township caucus at Pequam-
ing.
Under the new order of things, it
would take the biggest part of the
night to nominate candidates at but
one caucus, and we believe the board
felt that it would be better to have
two tickets nominated and let the can
didates fight it out at the election,
rather than at the caucus. We, our
selves, believe it to be the best move,
as by having two tickets on the ballot,
all wrangling and charges Of false
play will be done away with.

These boys have considerable past

comfortable benches near the mouth

loll through warm days which would
be long if not for the constant ripple
of discussion.

each undoing its own favorite
knotty questions. Occasionally
deadlock will send an entire group
to another circle for decision and
further discussion. An appeal is
taken, though, only for the want of
breath rather than for the want OF
more debatable premises. The
breaths Of these septua and octoge-

cream and candy, desires for flow.
ers, for theaters, for railroad ex.
cursions. But it is different with
these frivolous lures Of feminine
fancies. Their prices would scarcely
be recognized by the men who
haven't shopped for them in ten
years.
About the only adjunct to the per-
feet courtship that doesn't cost more
is walk in the park. The simple
little girls Of peripatetic tendencies
should be more popular than ever.
But at that there is limit to pedes-
trianism.
The rapid upward trend Of court
ing cost has won innumerable
adherents to the two-can-live-more
cheaply-than-one doctrine. It has un-
doubtedly curtailed courtships and
cut down the period of doubt. A long
wooing stretch would place the aver
age young man in such a desperate
financial bunker that he would never
reach the matrimonial green.
Long before a youth thinks Of
marriage he buys some girl ice
cream sodas. Sometimes he will
wear short trousers when he swings
into an ice cream parlor with a
pig-tailed but otherwise quite grand
lady on his arm.

Only Che wealthy young man may
say it with flowers to-day. At
the Florists Exchange of America
1870 Broadway, it was said that
corsage bouquets ranged from S1.5O
to 81 in price a decade ago. The
present day minimum, it was said
is So, while there is a rich maximum

Beauty might we'll deepen the blush

Fifteen cents each was a high
price for full, rotund chrysanthe-

The average corsage, Mr.. McIn-
tyre said, costs Sc now, compared to
$1.25 when the dollar was itself. If
young man adds bunch of flowers
to his evenings wooing, the four
hours with her stand him slightly
more than $25. BY strict economy
he might save enough for carfare,

their marriage, could dine ten years

generous depth Of carbonated water
and a satisfying portion Of ice
cream.
But now, to quote Mr.. Horizons
manager again, it's q case of going
up to mother or father, picking the
more liberal one, and asking her or
him for 93 cents or a. cents, depend
ing on the neighborhood. These 15-
cent or 20-cent sodas are concen-
trated in aesthetic shrinking glasses
or cone-shaped paraffin containers.
Only the boy who is a reckless
spendthrift can hope to tell Of his
love in the language of ice cream
sodas.
The candy presentation stage fol-
lows that typiaed by ice cream
sodas. John S. Huyler used to sell
in 1909, at all Of his stores, stand
ard and quite fancy brand of
chocolate and bonbons for 60 cents
a pound. 1t was either a rich
or madly> infatuated young man
who paid 80 cents for sweets
for her, and then he got box with
decorated scenes of bird life and
with silk ribbons.
There are q few brands of the
kind Of candy you can give her
which do not cost moro than 81
a pound at present. A half pound
box of Huyler's or Apollo or Page
& Shaw's candy may be obtained
for 60 cents. These candies cost 70
cents and more in the theaters dur
ing intermission.
Having attracted her with sodas
and cemented her affections with
candy, the youth usually asks her
parents if he may take her out.
Back in 1909 there was nothing
momentous about such a proposal.
Now the youth faces a Irritation
with high finance when he asks her
folks if he may take her off their
hands for the evening.
L. M. Grenaker, of Shuberts
theaters, and O. O. Mcintyre, Of the
Hotel Majestic, have watched the
counting cost trying for altitude for
years. They have seen young men

gloves at $1.75 pair for her little

gloves at $1.75 pair for her little
hands. Her hands are no larger
now, but the kid gloves to protect
them range far into and beyond the
IS mark. The proximity of Christ
mas brings home the striking ad-
vance in the cost Of these things for
her, things which evoked the same
pleased gurgle when they were 81
as how, when they are 81.
Silk umbrellas sheltered her for
s1.98 the umbrella, according to a
Wanamaker quotation of 1909. A
firm, the head Of which has sons Of
counting age, wanted $3.50 a silk
shelter by actual count last week.
The charge Of taking a ladies' silk
umbrella will probably soon be
changed from petit to grand larceny.
The rise in the price of silk and
linen handkerchiefs is from 100 to
200 per cent, comparison of the
advertisements and interviews with
department store buyers revealed.
And the Ring!
The price of jewelry is undoubt-
eddy the cause for the numerous
Opponents. When a couple steals
away about the time most people are
preparing for four or five hours
more of sleep, it does not neces-
sarily mean that the marriage urge
came upon them suddenly. It usually
means that the first ring of his she
will wear will be plain gold band.
The engagement ring that cost
the prosperous lover $500 in 1909,
according to an official of one Of
the largest jewelry firms in the
country, now stands him $1,000 and
$1,000. He declared that war-made
prosperity has caused diamonds
virtually to disappear from the
market, with scores Of eager pro-
spective purchasers straining their
eyes for the sparkle of a diamond
for sale. The entire surplus supply
of the world has been absorbed, he
declared.
Russia, which fed the platinum
market, is no longer prolific. Plati-
mum has become rarity here, with
prices 300 per cent higher than they
were in 1909 The dull, whitish
metal will be worn almost exclu-
sively by stout, middle-aged women
with stout, middle-aged and success
full husbands this year, he pre-
dicted.
A demand for leather goods de-
fies the supply. A 200 per cent
advance in the price Of lady's
substantial leather pocketbook or
vanity satchel was spoken Of by
dealers, who added that the worst
was in the future.
That delicate mauve writing pa
per, which soon became so unmis-
takably part of her, cost in 1909
about 81 for a generous sized box.
Two of the largest firms dealing
in this paper will ask 81 for 1t of
the young men who expect to econo-
mize in their purchases this year.
Writing paper was always refuge
from high prices for gifts, but it's
cost no longer attracts.

Pity the Lopelorn

The single man has no bureau to
turn to for official proof that the
candy he gives his girl twice or more
often each week is more valuable
by $50 per cent than it was decade
ago. No government agency will
come forward for him with testi-
mony concerning the aviation of
silk stocking prices. The high cost
OF loving properly gets little or no
publicity. This article, therefore, is
