SIDE TALKS
Don't Make.
BY RUTH CAMERON

Did you ever see a salesgirl make out a slip?
 You think that's an extraordinary question.
 But l don't mean just look at her; l mean sec her.
 For that is one of the innumer- able little activities that go on under our eyes so often that we never really sec them.
 We've all watched the shop girl in our faNori.e shop make out slips a hundred times. and then we've brought those slips home. And yet l don't believe one woman in a hum dred.--no thousand,-could tell what the clerk has to write on the slip.
 I am sure I couldn't
 That is, not until recently. The other day when I was shopping, some thing drew my attention to the pro- cess and I studied it.
 What She Has To Write.
 And this is what the girl in that particular shop had to put on the slip for every purchase; even if it were not more than five cents.
 The number of the department
 The sales number./
 The date The number of pieces in the pur- chase.

OFFERING AT GRAND
 DESERVES PATRONAGE

"Step Lively Girls,' this weeks of fering at the Grand theater in Hart ford produced by Arthur Parsons, Inc, satisfied the first nighters, both as to the character of the show, the costumes worn by the principals and the musical numbers. It is a show worth seeing. The play itself is pre- sented in two acts and as the fair maidens cavort about the stage in negligee, in one piece bathing suits and grass garments similar to those worn by native Hawaiians the spec tator cannot but feel cold chill or sympathy Wriggle up and down hls spine. It is cold on the stage, but possibly that only makes the girls step lively.
 Maudie Heath made a decided hit in her the best boy in burlesque and Tille Cox. who is short on the talk but long on the song as she sklps about likewise comes in for creol1. The fashion parade, designed ny Catherine Crawford. is introduced py Mae White. who also sings quite u bit. With Dick Knowles she has seV- cral lively tilts at repartee. Georse Washington Midnight. impersonateu bv Dotson, proved really com1cal ana Rich McAllister and H. T. shannon also contributed to the fun.
 The chorus, replete with pretlS girls in pretty costumes of every de- scribable type, and some that are in dascribable sung we'll, danced in rvthm and posed coyly against the ctive background.

As sociated with them are Jay Elwood. clever juvenile lead. and William Slider, another actor. who in this sketch shows his versatility by playing the part of a dope iend of long exper- fence and recognized ability. They play their parts in most finished stylo and mates3ally contribute towards the success of the piece.
 The other acts are Ellers animals and the Kramers, acrobatic wonders.
 Corse Payton is not the only big attraction. The management Is offer ing as the big feature of the weeks show, Mary Pickford in the $300,000 film wonder, Less Than the Dust. |" This big eight reeler Is given in ad- dition to the regular program which is one of the strongest ever offered in this city at popular prices.
