HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Subject Discussed at Meeting Of Mayor $
Food Committee Last Night.


The mayors committee on the high
cost Of living problem held meeting last
night A communication from George t.
sale OF Philadelphia stated that the 10
per cent profit stores which have been
established in that city with the CO.
operation Of the government had greatly
benefited the citizens.
A letter from ]. /. Edmondson OF
this city stated that last Saturday
h, had bought steak FISH on King
street at 50 cents q pound. he IN
closed clipping from a Philadelphia
paper, which quoted the prices that were
being charged by that paper for fish
from cars 81 10 cents pound
The committee seemed TO think that
pTohteering in Wilmington was not
practiced to any great extent by the
bigger food and other stores but pTlncl-
pallv among smaller storekeepers- An
instance was cited where a small store
keeper had bought q quantity OF sugar
at q low price and was selling It II a
reasonable profit until some other stores
boosted the price, when he increased his
price to a point even higher.
The meeting was fairly well attended,
among those present being Ray "
Miller, OF Armour & Co.; Harry Fra
zier. OF Lawson d Co.; \ lss Clara South
wick secretary OF the Consumers League
Mrs. Harry T. Bailey and Councilman
A r. Abrahans, James B. McManus
and William Abberger,
The committee decided to hold an
other meeting next Friday night al
o'clock to which the public and the
storekeepers Of the city are invited
Prior TO this meeting the committee will
investigate prices in Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington, Newark, \. j., and
other cities and will prepare q report
showing the comparison OF prices.

.WOMEN'S WEAR, MONDAY
Many Black Evening
Gowns Worn at Banff
Much Lace and FrIlIs-Capes
Again FaVored-Bcaded
and Sequin Gowns.

Banff, Canada.-Many of the even
ing gowns for late summer and early
autumn are black, and few colors are
seen in Banff. Simplicity of line and
material are very much in evidence
here. A rich piece of lace, plain or
Tlowered net, makes an evening gown
of one shade that vies in elegance with
the gaily colored satins and silks
which have been so much in vogue
of late.
The majority of the gowns here are
black, the upper part of the bodice
being of net, sometimes with squares
and figures. but usually plain sheer
net. Tight-fitting sleeves of the same
material come to the elbow, and the
lower part of the bodice is made of
the material of the skirt-usually lace
or net, over a tight-fitting silk or
satin slip.
