What are they? Well, to begin

Bob turns up with an old friend from
the place he used to live in, and my

and lobster l can make salad with my

"On another shelf keep all sorts of
canned and bottled soups. and it is
astonishing how many varieties there
are. All that Is needed is to heat
them up, put in some celery salt II de-

first Of these foreign celebrations will
be that of the Greeks and Russians
and few other nationalities which
adhere to old style dates. They will
have New Year on January IA, 13 days
later than the New Year of the new
style. Next in order comes the Chi
nese New Year, on February 13, and,
but a day later, February IA, comes
the Mohammedan first day of the year.
The Jewish New Year falls nealy nine
months later. about the middle of Sep
ber, on the first day of the month of
"Tishri."
The celebrations vary both in ac-
cordance with the religions of the va
rious peoples and their climatic,
racial and national characteristics.
With the Greeks, Russians, Servians.
Bulgarians and Macedonians, all of
whom adhere to the Greek Catholic
church, New Years is one of the mort
pleasant If not the pleasantest festival
Of the year. With the Jews, on the
contrary, the New Year, Rosh Has
hama, as it is called. is far from being
pleasant affair. 1t is day OF retIi-
by weeks of prayer, fasting and peni-
tence, and is followed by ten days
known as the days of repentance,
which wind up with Yom kippur, the
day of atonement, most grewsome
and weird day, dreaded by every Or
thodoX Jew.
Greeks Celebrate Two Days.
The most interesting and joyo,n
celebration of the New Year is that of
the Greeks. The Greek New Year
lasts two days. In these two days the
Greek nature with its unbounded joy
of life comes into its own. The heart
of every Greek thrills on that day with
unbounded joy. Passionately he
awaits the evening, when in his little

rant, with male cooks and attendants,
he can get his genuine Greek food,
Hellenic dishes, and wash them away
with Greek wine which was purpose.

on Christmas and the three days which

1t is with the New Year! Next to our

An inspection of the pile by a cool
looker-on displayed the fact that there
were in reality only two types of de-
signs, the shirtings themselves being
the same.
Therefore the sales-person need
only have thrown out shirt with a
dark ground in blue-for blue is the
most commonly desired. The Gus
toner then would have said: Il
wished a lighter colored shirt" or
Have you no other color in that same
design? He has had so much blue"
In this way the sales-person very
quickly might have found what would
satisfy best without confusing the GUS
toner and making her forget what she
had in mind when she approached the
counter.
The desirable thing is to sense what
the customer thinks she wants II
you have something that you believe
will satisfy her better in the long run

If you have not, keep her to what she

When the customer asks for some-
thing and you hesitate and finger your
own goods, looking about as If you did
not even know its alphabet, she be-

a hesitating frame of mind.
But on the other hand, If you go at

are confident in sound, she is still fur

facial expression, and catch by its
more alert, waked-up look that she is
beginning to find the thing she wants.
A little further plotting on your part
brings her to where she expresses her
self favorably; then it is time for you
to make your decisive move, you fold
up the article and accept her attitude
as final. 1t will be final if you do not
distract her again.

Talks 10 SaAesbe0bAe
BY MISS DIANA HZRSCHZER, IL. B.
BoksteyzMg Up a IIobbLy NH
(Expe1z Trainer in .Salesmaushib)

Mrs. Fly-Away was certainly a try
ing customer. She had no sooner
said she liked a certain style when
another caught her eye and she al
ways insisted upon seeing it. In this
way, she see-sawed from one to an
other and, indeed, frequently left
without buying at all. True, yet l dare
ray when she got home she felt quite
annoyed at not having anything to
show for shopping. She no doubt
wished then that she had bought the
plaid she had admired so much.
Now, it may be well to lament that
there are so many customers of this
type, but the duty of the sales-pesson
is to accept this fact and see how to
meet 1t, not simply to call it bad
luck"
When you engage yourself to this
kind of service you really engage to
deal with human nature ready-made.
Human nature unmakes itself only as
you meet it with right understand
ing of its style.
Take the case of Mrs. FlyAway.
Her need is the need of many people
to have some one bolster up wob-
she has actually reached the point Of
decision.
You must take some distinct action
to accomplish this. You must say in
a decided tone, as if you were speak
ing for her, 81 think you have picked
out just what you want" or something
similar. This will prop up her de-
cision. But you must remember this
II merely prop-else you will be dis
appointed-for she will allow 1t to sus-
tain her only for the moment.
Recognizing the short-livedness of
your prop, pulling out your sales
book with decision, you follow it up
briskly with a closing remark: THE
name, please?' Before she has time
again to be distracted the matter is
clinched After it is over she ap-
proves of you. But IL your method
is to let her wander at her own sweet
Will she continues to be discontented
with what she has done and you are
made part of her discomfort.
A will that rests not when it actual
ly has arrived at the stepping-off place
Is very common. There is only one
Ching for the seller to do with the
buyer in this case, that is for himself
to supply as far as possible the in
gredient of decisveness in manner,
tone, statement, eliminating further
every circumstance that might disturb
or turn the trend of thought.
A lady asks TO see dollar shirts for
an 11-year-old boy. The sales-person
throws out on the counter one shirt
after another until there are eight or
ten different ones lying thsre. The
customer looks confused. She fingers
them all and gets further and further

by her parents too young to feel the

by moral suasion alone. But when.

vigorous measures were called for,
and her mother took an ivory paper

smartly across her little bare legs.
Muriel looked astounded. Her moth

Muriel thought deeply for a moment.
Then, turning toward the door with a
grave and disappearing countenance.
she announced in her clear little Eng.

my son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.

was great change for the better in

own, we have not yet the means nor
the call for children's afternoon on
New Years day"
Still, many of the Greek families
will observe this ancient custom in
this country. They will have their
children's afternoon. They will have
their delicious New Years pudding
known as kings pudding" In fact.
in many cases the pudding will be
even more delicious than it would
have been in old Athens. For one of
the ancient customs among the Greeks
is to hide some gold coin in one por-
ton of the pudding and he who gets
the share of the pudding with the gold
coin in it becomes the favorite as well
as the leader of the two days joy and
sport In this country, where gold is
more plentiful than in Greece and
where 1t is more easily earned by the
Greek father. the pudding promises to
contain more gold and be much more
delightful to the finder of the same.
Perhaps the most unique Greek dish
on New Years eve is the roast lamb, set
up in Greek style. of which each son
of EIellas must partake. The roasting
of the lamb is attended with great
deal of pomp. The entire carcass of
a lamb is set up on pole and this
is held over fire until it is duly
roasted. Then it is sliced and appor-
toned among the various persons
present at the feast and the roast is
eaten along with the other strictly
Greek dishes and washed down with
Greek wine.
Russians Like Our Food.
Russians in this country celebrate
but one day. and they, too, attempt to
produce n home atmosphere. How
ever. home food is not thought Of
The bread. the meat. and the wine of
the United States are considered as
good as and even far better than the
products of their own land.
The Macedonians, Servians and Bul.
garians celebrate the New Year, per.
haps less elaborately. also on the same
day as their Greek and Russian CO.
religionists.
The Turks celebrate their first OF
the year with the modesty character
istic of people who have not yet any
bold on place.
The Chinese will have their Gus.
tomary celebration of the Chinese
New Year on February 13 with feast
ing and enjoyments with which the
holiday is observed in the Celestial
empire.
In striking opposition to the spirit
of joy and happiness which pervades
the New Year of the Greeks and
Christendom generally is the New
Year of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days, the days are not days of
feasting and enjoyment but days of
judgment. According to the belief of
every orthodox Jew. every member OF
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year. The books kept in heaven are
opened on that day, the record of each
man for the year just ending is looked
through and taken under advisement
for ten days. On the tenth day, the
day of atonement. the fate of each
man for the coming year is drawn up,
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day of atonement
the fate is sealed and nothing can
change it any more.
