May Robson in The Clever Woman.
 May Robson and her company in The Clever Woman was the attraction at the Loomer opera house Tuesday night. In spite of other attractions the house was well filled and those attend ing were repaid, for the play was the best seen in this city for some time. The company was well balanced and formed an excellent supporting cast for Miss Robson in the title part. The play was by James Forbes and held many a laugh and many clever lines. The scenery was we'll chosen and the production finely staged, although on account of the facilities of the theatre it could not all be used. Despite that fact. however. the play was excellent and keenly enjoyed by all who were present.

had n hole in it and was placed over

sixty of these. and but very few Of
the bowls were whole, although he
was able To put almost all of them
together. To all appearances thi,
must have been the burial place of u

Something has brought your Gus

when he walks up to your counter.
The advertising department, the win
dow trimmer, the location Of the
store, previous dealings with the con-
Germ, some force or circumstance has
delivered him to you in this partly
sold condition. When you see him
coming you don't know how close to
the buying point he is, but If you let
him tell what he wants in his own
way, without befogging the situation
by needlessly asking him what you
can do for him, the chances are that
his remarks and manner will give you
you pretty good idea Of how far he
has progressed toward a determine
ton to buy the article about which he
inquiries.
A salesmans talk during business
hours should be selling talk, and out
side of single word of respectful
greeting, a retail salesman's first re-
mark to customer with whom he has
no acquaintance should be something
that will further the sale of the ar
ticle in which the customer expresses
| interest.
