OF MANY SERMONS
Profiteering in White Carnations
Makes Emblem. Less Con
spicuously Worn.

Although Mothers Day" was made the
themo of many church sermons yester-
day on its recurrent anniversary and
alluded to in other parts of the order Of
exercises, the display of blossoms MS en-
blems, particularly the white carnation
worn as boutonierre or corsagc flowers,
was much less in evidence than hereto
fore
This was in part due to the fact that these
white flowers had been placed on the
black list by a protest from the headquart-
ers of the International Mothers Day
committee. as n protest against the cx-
tortionate prices at which these have been
held in many localities. The memorial
spirit of the day could as well be betokcned
without the flower. the committee held
while the practical example of thrift
set by them would be better illustrated
by the refusal to pay the Is, 80 or some
times 35 cents, asked for n single white
carnation. Thus it was that the annual
custom was "more honoured in the breach
than in the observance" yesterday.
Local florists dlsclaimed any effect on
their prices except that of supply and
demand" and pointed TO the fact that
many boys and street statesmen ''peddle''
the flowers on their own account and
can kite their prices as they will just as
pedcllers do the world over
