ing, his .white hair • a mark al dis-
tinction rather than .of age. He once:
told hot, half laughingly, "I guess I
was born that way."
Rantoul was wealthy, belonged to
gocd clubs, had offices in the finan-
cial district, and hand leisure and just
enough contaet with great affaire to
make hint an entrancing companion.
He was constantly meeting hitper-
tant men. A word or two, a mere
hint, gave Josephine the feeling of
mingling in a consequential world. It
was so different from Gilbert Van
Horn's world. a place utterly divorc-
ed from business and occupied with'
stupid sports, or gossip, or mooning

Monday morning seemed a year a•
way. John was very young.
l•Ie went to his new room, unpack•
ed the photograph of Josephine, and
looked at her image long and though'
frilly. He called up Van Horn and
had also talked with Josephine for a
moment over the telephone. She
seemed glad to• hear front him. Her
laugh was familiar. John remember-
ed nothing but the laugh. 1•Ier• very
reticence conveyed things that seem-
ed bound to bring 'them close togeth-
er again. The warmth of young
summer was in the air; lovers were
walking in the park across the way.
Van horn remained in the city. Ile
luitt refused to leave, and Josephine,
in the dark cool house in the middle
Fifties,' agreed with those millions
who have said, "New Yotk is a
splendid summer resort;"
As many people were always in or
about town. and as Josephine had
several insistent problems confront -
Mg her, the city, lin the summer, took
on the proportions of an adventure.
,Terephine was frankly in the business
of. living' successfully, She had no
intention oe being anything but • a
success, and not merely a social suc-
cess, but to achieve•freedent, and ex-
pression, and, , well, lots of ethee
things. besides. In :fact she was not
above the plane of experiment. The

I John had called up only an hour
!before.
It was six o'clock. Perhaps
he was still at his new quarters, She
would call, and would leave word for
Rantoul at his rooms, that she could
not see him, After all, Josephine
could see Rantoul often, but that
night she

They met, , an hour later, at the
Savoy,•and walked east, through Fif-
' ty-ninth Street to the Third Avenue
L. It was a familiar station to John,
in a reminiscent way, as indeed the
entire city was reminiscent and, crowd
ed with surprises. The same old plat-
forms andrails but a t
r electrified
train carried theta down through the
close revealment of the East Side.

early. "There's a lovely place, the.

John' secured a table on the bal-

street, where they could dine, under
the awnings, in the open' air, and still
in eight of the entrancing, things
within.

sigh, the"

Oe their ride downtown they had

alone, as 'if by magic, John and'Jose-
phine were again on the,eatal plane
of delicious intimacy.
Josephine smiled.. John; noted the -
merest suggestion of a .dimple,. A
mood :of perfect understanding seem-
ed to 'permeate. the air. The dinner
was superb. She had asked for e
cocktail and John joined her, and r'I
bottle, of St. Julien added flavor to'
the dishes. Cafe Boalevard always
famous for its coffee, ''outdid itself)
on that, Aimabian night. They ate

"No. Jahn, I' love it" Her face
was close to his, her hair gave back

his fondest dreams; she was an angel.

The Beer Bonner in the

a situation not fully appreciated by

An Advertisement address-
ed to our Local Retailers
It is possible for a retailer to calculate the
number of sales transactions required by his
business each day, week, month, year. Here's
how the calculation can be made:
1. Sum up the estimated operating expenses
for the year --the aim:nits required for rent,
wages, .delivery, supplies of various sorts,
insurance, repairs, losses. Add, also, the net
profit which one should have to reward his
capital and enterprise.
2. Divide this total by the number of tvorlting
days inr--
the yea say 305, in order to get
the average daily cost of operating one's
business.
3, Ascertain the amount of the average sales
t
transactions. (The daily records of .individ-
ual sales, over a period, of a month or so,
will enable one to make this calculation),
4. Reckon the amount of gross profit earned
011 an average to
g
e sales tr
anaetion-2
0-25-
30
per cent,
5. Divide the total average daily expenses ,by
the prof1 011 an' average sales transaction,
Thus one gets the number of sales transec-
tions required daily to recover the costsof do-
ing • business,
ILLUSTRATION
Suppose that you find that your annual ex
Tenses, including a desired pet profit, total
e4,000,.or, 'sae', e13:11'per .day; that your aver-
age sales transaction is 50 cents, en which the
average gross profit, at 26 per cent. would be
14 cents. Then your required number of sales
transactions pet day would be 513.11 ,divided by
14, or 04.
L
Now, to assure an average of 04 sales
transaction, per day, rain or shine, will require
You to be extraordinarily diligent in the hatter
of attracting customers. Your windows should
be made alluring. Your service should be cour-
teous, prompt and pleasing, so as to make cus-
tomers willing "repeaters," Your range of mer-
chandise should be good, and your prices should
be competitive.
ut these alonewon't suffice to assure 04
sales transactions every day, on an, average.
You'll have t whole do a who e lot of inviting. Week
by week your invitations to buyers ought to be
published in this newspaper.
.Lr
IF YOU FAIL TO ISSUE CORDIAL INVITA-
TI0NS,,WESIi BY WEEK, THEN YOUR •
BUSINESS IS IN A STATE OF PERIL.
N.B.
The accompanying illustrativeexample
makes it clears•that a retailer can check up his
progress daily. ' Without a, daily measuring of
achievement against requirement nq business
management can be called safe.
