MOTHER'S DAY 

 The trade lluoiighoiU the country 

 was much surprised, judging from the 

 coi ivspondence reaching our Promo- 

 tion Bureau over a despatch dated 

 from Washington, and emanating 

 from the Alotlier's Day International 

 Association, of which Miss Anna Jar- 

 vis is the liead, to the effect that flags 

 should he used rather than flowers on 

 .Mother's Day. owing to the high 

 prices charged by florists for flowers 

 on the occasion. Charges were made 

 that the florists were profiteering. 



One of the .\'ew York papers wont 

 further, quoting an interview with a 

 misinformed prelate, at which it was 

 declared that so many carnations had 

 already been bought up as to make it 

 impossible to purchase them except at 

 e.xorbitant prices, one dollar per flow- 

 er being the amount named. 



The .Mothers Day International As- 

 sociation also sent propaganda to 

 newspapers individually, of which the 

 following received from a prominent 

 metropolitan newspaper in Massachu- 

 setts is a copy: 

 ■City Editor. 



■ Dear Sir: — One of our slogans this 

 year is 'Do not buy flowers for .Moth- 

 er's Day. but help us to stop florists' 

 Mother's Day proflteering.' 



"Will you help us to stop tliis sraff. 

 Dliliging. 



.MOTHER'S DAY I.NTNL. ASSN.' 

 In addition to all this, the followin.c 

 letter was received at the Secretary's 

 oflice:
