By the Author of "Madame Claire" NINA. By SUSAN ERTZ In "Nina® the author of that great popular favorite, "Madame Claire,' 'again proves herself the possessor of a talent as delightful and individual as any that has appeared over the literary horizon in many moons. "Nina" is a novel that is witty, is salty with keenly real- fzed human character, and that bears that indefinable stamp of smartness that brings to mind a well-dressed woman of the world. R.

A splendid talk on salesinanship, which carried a genuine message, was offered to the Kiwanis club at the regular luncheon Monday noon by ome of their own members, Alan Meiklejohn, district manager for the Confederation Life Insurance Company. Mr. Meiklejohn's address was neither too short nor too long, and he used comprehensive charts to more clearly emphasize his state- ments. Salesmanship, in (ho opin- lon of the speaker, is one phase of business which does not receive due attention nowadays. The methods of manufacturing, the financing, the organization, the selection of labor, the building of machinery, construe- tion of factories, all these receive attention even to the most minute details, yet the keystone of the arch of finished products and human needs, which is sales, does not re- ceive even a small percentage of the proper care, In days gone by there were but few professions to which men of good education could turn. To-day there are hundreds. Ome of the greatest of these is salesmanship-- a profession which needs quick minds, good morals, steady hard work and all the best qualities. The day of the bull-dozing, swag- gering salesman, who sometimes knew less of his own goods than the buyer, is gone, and that type is al- most extinct. The present day sales- man is a friend of the buyer, not an e€nemy, Salesmen of to-day, real salesmen, are carefully selected and even more carefully trained. "Good habits are as easy lo form as bad ones and are just as hard to break," said Mr. Meiklejoha. "Not quite," put in Sir Archibald Macdonell. "I am speaking from my own ex- perience," came hack the speaker quickly, and the laugh was on Sir Archie, but he turned it round again when he answered: "And I am epeaking of experience wita thous- ands of men." Attention, interest, desire, action, confidence and satisfaction are the six steps in making a sale. The last two mentioned should never be for- gotten. Unfortunately many sales- men, and especially retail salesmen, forget them and neglect to foiiow up the sale with a manner which meas- ures the customer and makes him pleased with his purchase. A great many salesmen get gelling fright and try to dodge those ques- tions of a buyer 'which are hard to answer. This course ever makes for success, The buyer will discover the objection himself and is not satisfied when nothing is done to offset it. Mr. Meiklejohn's talk was full of sound ideas and good principles and he wound it up with an inspiring little verse on success in any walk of life which drew loud applause. Dr. John Austin was the booster of the day and the following mem- bers were lucky: Garnet Lockett, H. C. Nickle, John Dornelly, K. Craw- ford, Alan Meiklejohn, Dr. Bruce Hopkins. A circular was distributed which the Hockenburg Systems pul out as a feeler in their survey of Kingston for hotel purposes. H. C. Nickle and other members objected strenuously to any snap judgment being made and claimed that very few members could give honest answers in the few minutes offered. After a great deal of debate the sheets were left until tomorrow for those who wished time in answering. The club endorsed the decision of the executive to back the opera "The Mikado" being produced by Profes- sor Andre with local talent, Members were reminded that the next meeting will be' held next Mon- day evening at the Mowat sanator- ium, The Kiwanis cars will meet at the market square at 5.30 o'clock.
