who supply this great center of population
with Its dally food aro equally charac

tion which confronts the Philadelphia house
wife In her efforts to keep tho cost of her
table within her Income, may be taken aa
those of men who are In acute touch with
axlstlnr conditions In that neighborhood.
Careful canvass by the Hvknino Ledobii
tn the territory east of Board street and
northward from Spring Garden street re
veals the passing of many old-time grocers.
Olrard avenue Itself exemplifies the fact
that the housekeeper In Its vicinity Is a
strong supporter of the "chain store" and
patronises almost exclusively such estab
lishments In her efforts to conduct her
table economically. There are exceptions,
It Is true, but they ore 'Tew and far be

have sought from the Evsvino Lkdoeu the
reason for the prevailing high prices, their
causes and possible remedies. Inquiry
was mado at tho establishment of Itobert
Ralston Sc Sons, at Thirteenth street and
Olrard avenue, where since 18S2 the busi
ness has grown In pace with the progress
and wants of residents.
SnOItTAOJ IN STAPLES
Moch of the Ill-h custom occupies the
norm uroaa sireei section, ana is made up
t a community nDie and willing to pay
whatever prices may be asked for whnt
It purchases. Ct the other hand, the firm
deals In many articles that are within the
reach of the humble pocketbook. Though
loth to place the responsibility for tho pres
ent skyward tendency In price, a repre
sentative of the firm manifested no hesi
tancy In admitting that there was a short
age In many staple goods that was uncom
fortable to his firm, and that even with n
small margin of profit several articles wero
rapidly passing beyond the means of per
sons who hitherto had used them.
"Never In twenty years have prices been
as high as they are today," he said. "I
believe this winter they are going higher
than, ever. Many things, too, are entirely
ut of the market, or If we can get. them
t all It Is at awful prices. I don't be
lieve the cost of groceries haa been higher
than It Is today In the fifty-four years wo
have been In business. I don't know why
It Is; we simply can't get them. Our cus
tomers would be willing trf pay the higher
prices If we could accommodate them, but
the dealers tell us the articles we want are
hot coming Into the market. Shortage In
crops, they tell us, or the war. If we knew
what the actual cause was, we might be
able to remedy It, but we only know what
they tell us.
TOMATOES AT TOP NOTCH

"We paid 19.40 a barrel for flour on our

AN EXPEItinNCH OP TEAKS
William Delaney has been In business
at the northwest comer of Tenth and Spring
Oarden streets for thirty-eight years. He
and his son Arthur comprise the firm of
William Delaney Son. Their business Is
extensive, and the younger Delaney sup
plies the grocery quotations for Philadel
phia to the Federal Department of Com
merce and Labor. The views of father and
son. which agree as to the cause of pre
vailing prices, largely echo those of Edward
Swift, their neighbor, quoted In these col
umns yesterday.
"It looks like speculation." declared the
elder Delaney emphatically. 'There Is
trickery and knavery In IU Just take the
tomato situation. The latest reports from
the packing districts show that they have
a pack of 12,000,000 cases this year. That
Is a full pack, more than they generally
get. In fact. In 1915 they canned about
S. 000,000 cases and had some S.000,000 left
over from the previous year. They claim.
If they stop right now, there will be a pack
between 12,000.000 and 13,000,000. They
are asking up to S1.SS a dozen today for
three-pound tins that usually run eighty
to eighty-five cents. The scarcity of labor
and the price of tin Is the excuse. Tin
plate has gone up from J2.45 to 112.25
since the war started. The Jersey farmers
formerly depended upon casual laborers to
pick their crops. They say this supply Is
not to be had, ana tnai me men wno iur
years were glad to work for srftalt pay
picking tomatoes are now making muni
tions at Carney's Point for three times the
money they got In the tomato fields. The
tomato crop meanwhile was allowed to rot,
they say, yet they gathered more than last
year.
TACKETtS HOLDING OUT"
"I believe many of the "packers have the
goods and are holdtng out so as to get
h'gher prices. One party I heard of has
15,000 cases that he Is holding, and there
may be others. There Is where I bellove
the trickery and knavery He. It la the same
with potatoes. We do not handle them, but
last Sunday I visited a farmer, who showed
me several thousand bushels stored In his
cellar. Potatoes have jumped from eighty
cents to $1.50 a bushel. I asked him why
he did not sell at the present prices, no
said he preferred to wait until the market
went higher and he possibly would get 12 a
bushel.
"The catsup supply Is going to be short
on account of the tomato situation, espe
cially from February to May. Even at the
prices charged, the packers ore not making
full deliveries ; In wax beans, for Instance,
only five, six or eight per cent of orders.
Peas that one year ago wero sellnfeat fif
teen cents or two cans for twenty-five cents
now bring thirty cents for two cans, and
tomatoes I have to sell at the same rate.
Where we sold two cans of New Tork State
corn for a quarter In 1915 we ask sixteen
cents a can, or two for thirty cents today."
Arthur Delaney furnished quotations,
comparing the prices charged over the
counter In the store today with those sup
plied by him to the Government from the
same source In October, 1915, Some of
these changes, all upward, are given for
the benefit of the Evenino Lkooeh's house
wife readers. They show granulated sugar,
6V4 cents now 7: flour, per 24Vi-pound
bag, 90 cents, now Sl.ZS ; cornmeal, 2
cents a pound, now 3 cents; small white
beans, 7 cents, now 12 cents; lard, 3 pounds,
43 cents, today 60 cents; red salmon, 15
cents, now 17 cents; rice and coffee un
changed. Tea shows a slight advance, but
dealers are absorbing the difference.

DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL
ETEBIIOWS that are well-shaped and
lashes that are long and full are essen
tial to eye beauty. Women, aa a rule, do
not realtze that the brows and lashes are
such Important features that the expres
sion of the face largely
depends upon them.
Have you ever stood
before a mirror and
"rutTled" your eye
brows? If you have,
you saw that your face
took on an expression
of bewilderment and
confusion. Smooth, per
fectly arched eyebrows
impart to the face that
refined, delicate expres
sion that every woman
of culture desires. If,
on tho other hand, your
LUCnnztA. liont eyebrows are heavy and
shapeless or meet over the brldgo of the
nose, your face no matter how perfect
the other features may be will appear
coarse, severe nnd altogether unattractive.
It Is a comparatively simple matter to
reshape the eyebrows and to train them
to grow properly. Under no circumstance,
therefore, should you neglect them.
If your eyebrows are well arched, ac
cording to beauty's demands, and do not
meet, they will only require a dally brush
ing to keep them smooth nnd well groomed.
The brush required for this purposo la
shaped almost like a toothbrush, but the
bristles are fine and soft. Brush the hairs
from the nose toward the pointed end of
mo urow.
When the eyebrows aro thin and scraggy
a tonic Is required to stimulate their growth.
An excellent tonic Is the following mixture:
Tincture of roeemarr...., o grams
Tincture of canlharlds 1 trim
Hplrlta of camphor Ml arama
tiplrtta of cologne , 60 crams
The tonto la rubbed Into the brows every
other night, applying on alternate nights a
few drops of oil of cajeput, stroking the
hairs aa they should grow.
Another excellent remedy for stimulating
the growth of the eyebrows and lashes con
tains: Ited vaseline.... .3 ounres
Tincture of cantharlaes H otitic
Oil of lavender 15 drone
Oil of roaemary 15 drops
Mix thoroughly and apply to the brows
with a small brush onco a day. When
this tonic Is applied to the eyes be care
ful that none touches the eye Itself, us It
will cause Inflammation.
It the hairs In the brows are healthy
and luxuriant, simply apply a little ase
line twice a week to keep tbem glossy.
Red vaseline Is the best for thta purpose.
Every night the eyebrows should be mas
saged, drawing all tho tips of the fingers
In a line to follow the arch.
It should be remembered 'that the ex
cessive use of water on hair Is drying.
The natural nourishing oils of the brows
are constantly being exhausted, and emol
lient must bo applied. A mixture of ten
'grams of red vaseline and ten centigrams
of boric acid Is a simple tonla that can
be used for this purpose.
If you find that your brows need re
shaping, consult a beauty specialist, who
will remove tho superfluous hairs. It Is
not wise for the amateur to attempt to do
this herself.
The eyelashes require most careful treat'
ment It you desire to stimulate their
growth. Use oil of cajeput, applying It to
the lashes with a tiny camel's hair brush.
The roots and not the tips of the lashes
are to be anointed.
When the brows meet over the nose the
only way of Improvement Is through elec
trolysis. To clip or pull out the offending
hairs only makes them worse ultimately.
Visible results from this eyebrow and
lash treatment should not be expected for
months, for It takes a long time to Im
prove these features.

1 J-N Everybody loves Madame Schumann-
Ilelnk, and, according to hsr own calcula
tions, have been doing- It for the last thirty
nine years.
Puffing and panting from the numerous
responses she had to make at the Academy
of Music, this very gracious prima donna
received me In her dressing room and took
me to her ample self, literally, as metaphor
ically she does her audiences and all who
meet her.
"Tlease, If you write a piece about me
In the papers." she said when I had dls
entangled myself from the silver lace on her
apple-green brocaded gown. "Please tell
everybody thnt I am not sixty years old, ns
somebody wrote. I am flfty-Ihe, and this Is
my thirty-ninth season."
She looked like some dowager-mother aa
she stood before the pier-glass, her beautH
ful Iron-gray hair dressed high, her cheeks
pink with a flush, that was not bought In
a drug store. It was difficult to think of
her aa a woman who had been "on the
road" for almost two score years.
nncn'n Fon youth
Madame'a recipe for protracted youth and
much happiness Is to have a good many
children, lead a normal life, work hard, to
let nature take Its courso with your hair
and to abjure the use of paint nnd powder.
"I had eight children," said this woman,
whp typifies the mother-woman In a greater
degree than any I havo eer met. nnd who
does not have to sing one of her cradle
songs to Inspire In those who come within
her range the desire to cuddle up a little
closer.
"One I lost last year " Madame became
ery sad. "Sly poor boy. he died of typhoid-
pneumonia. The others are good, beeg busi
ness men. My wonderful girls aro married.
J have nlno grandchildren."
Madame clucked gleefully, like n -proud
mother hen with a numerous brood In her
woke. Then she began rubbing her face
very hard.
"My face. It Is mine. I do not use pow
der or paint" her German way of pro
nouncing her "t'a" like "d's" In her full con
tralto Is fascinating "that Is not the way
to keep young, according to my old-fashioned
lewpolnt.
"Yes, I am an old-fashioned woman. I

A Scarf and Hat of Navy Blue Velvet
ACCIDENTS will happen" Is a hack
, jf.neyed saying, but I surely was glad
to hear mother quote It the other day whop
I spilled a bottle of Ink over the navy
blue velvet she had bought me for a dreaa.
I was writing lters when the material
was delivered. Mother brought It In and
spread It over the chair beside the desk so
that I could get the full effect of Its color
and sheen. I've been the personlilcatlon
' of awkwardness lately, and, somehow, upset
the large bottle of Ink from which I had
nlled the wells over tho velvet. I gasped and
looked at' mother, expecting the scolding
which I deserved. She simply said, In the
most soothing way: "Accidents will hsp
pen. Don't worry about It Ilobln."
When I had the courage finally to looK
at the velvet to find out the extent of the
damage I saw that the ink had obligingly
trickled down one side, almost the entlro
length of the piece, but tbat the balance
oould be used for some purpose or other.
Mother said that It would be Impossible to
match the velvet as sho had bought all tbat
was left
Margerle Kennedy, who Is visiting me,

suggesting several ways to utlllxe It she
finally told ma to make a hat and scarf. I
rather liked the Idea, but thought If the

would turn It over to Cicely, who looks

Mount Slnal Auxiliary to Award Loving
Cups to 'Winners
A piano contest to be followed by a eon
cert and dance, will be given next Sunday
evening by the Friends, an auxiliary of tha
Mount Hlnal Hospital, at Danceland,
Twentieth street and Montgomery avenue.
The proceeds of the affair will be used to
help carry on the work of Mount Slnal
Hospital. Sliver loving cups will be award
ed to the winners.
For the concert preceding the danoe 'se
lections .will bo rendered by Miss Edith
Atkins, Martin reterxell, Albert Dalmer
and Miss May Marks.
The board of directors of the Mount
Slnal Hospital, of which Jacob D, Ut Is
president, has promised' to be present and
help the Friends make the affair a sucoess.
The committee In charge Includes Jack J.
Wolpert. chairman; Miss Ttose C. Llebster,
secretary; Miss Minerva Itosenthal, treas
urer, and Miss Estelle S. Katlln, chairman
of advertising.
JUST for a change try chestnuts on tho
menu Instead of some other customary
starch, such ns rice or potatoes. Most
people are fond of the nutlike flavor, and
chlstnuts are highly desirable accompa
niments to tho meal that lacks starch In
other points. In fact, chestnuts, pound for
pound, contain many times more fata and
starch and even protein than potatoes, and
almost as much as rice. There are several
ways of serving chestnuts, either as ac
companiment to meats, as a salad or an
easy dessert In fact, there Is even a chest
nut soup, which Is simple and contains all
the wholesome elements that make It an
Ideal substantlon luncheon dish, especially
for email people.
CHESTNUT CnEAM SOUP

fuls of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter.

The chestnuts are boiled ten minutes,
then the shell and skin come off easily, and
the meats are cooked for about thirty min
utes. In the meantime, fry the chopped celery,
onion and parrot until brown, and cook In
the milk for about an hour. Then add the
chestnut meats, which must first be pressed
through a colander.
Here Is a chestnut dish which makes a
good accompaniment to a meat dish, Instead
of potatoes fried or browned;
BIIOWNED CHESTNUTS
Two cupfuls ot chestnuts, three table
spoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of
cream, one egg, one-half teaspoonful of salt
dash of pepper.
The chestnuts are blanched and the skins
removed. Then the chestnuts are pressed
through a colander. The other Ingredients
are mixed In and the mixture Is then shaped
Into little balls, dipped In flour and tried In
deep fat like French fried potatoes.
Chestnuts can also be used to make a
light salad more substantial. As the chest
nut Itself Is so starchy as to be somewhat
Insipid In flavor. It always combines with
a tart flavor, and unless It Is served plain
roasted It always requires much dressing
and flavoring as a cooked dlth. If, there
