STORE CLUB MEETING
Salespeople's Organization Talks and
Dimes at Warren M. Crosby Store.

A club composed of the salespeople
in the Warren M. Crosby Co.'S store
held its second monthly meeting in
the store last night. The organization
calls itself the ''Sales Efficiency club, -
and was formed for the purpose of
studying the various phases of sales
manship and increasing the efficiency
OF each person in the store.
AT the meeting Clad Hamilton gave
the members a talk in the rest room
of the store. He gave a history of
selling activities from the time of
primitive bartering to the present day
of sa1esmanship-an economic pro-
cess now considered an exact science.
After Mr.. Hamilton'S talk the mem
bers adjourned to the Annex Bridge,
where a supper was served to the 80
employees and officials of the store.
Many stores in the larger cities
have well organized schools for the
training of salespeople before they are
sent to the various departments to
meet customers, but so far as is
known the Warren M. Crosby Co.
store is the first to have club of en-
ployees for the interchange of ex-
periences, ideas and discussions for
the mutual improvement of its mem
bers.
The officers of the organization
are: Mrs. B. B. Sharon, PRESIDENT
Will Grant, vice president; Charles
Boren, secretary and treasurer.

MARIE TEMPEST REVIEW

The much advertised Marie Temp
est. the little English actress, was in
Topeka Tuesday night at the Grand
theater in Nearly Married. She
played to a small audience, but she got
six curtain calls after one of the acts,
and that is excessive approval from a
Topeka gathering. Miss Tempest is
small, well gowned, piquant, and she
hath a way" a bewitching way, in
fact. A good many years ago she
made the acquaintance of theater go
ing people in this part of the country,
and those who saw her then say that
the change in her has been mild

the excuse for laughter more plausi-

rhetorical glamour that is thought to
be the necessary covering for more

Nearly Married. is minor farce

characters engage in some wild ad-

1t is Miss Tempest's cleverness and
skill in personating that made the
play enjoyable, along with W. Graham
Browne, who had the leading male
role. Browne is, in the story, mar
ried to Miss Tempest, alluringly femi-
nine, though she is far from pretty.
Mr.. Browne does not get on with his
wife's relatives, an irritating brother

impossible, and declaring Willingness

Mrs. Jordan wants only her freedom.
Declaring that her husband has always
provided amply for their child, Dor

ways treated the child with kindness
and affection, she asks that the court
give the father right to have the
child with him as often may be
compatible with the interests of both.
