The meeting will try TO combat
the threatened increase in prices,

The only possible chance retail

lone OF the main reasons for in

that people demand the better grade
Of clothing. causing a scarcity in the

chase more Of the cheaper grades
it would stabilize the market and

from being satisfied. She has Gre

At the New York Evening School

earns small salary can fully ap-

The instructors are men and wom-

1t is confusing and perplexing
to have to make a single selection
