sion Of daily events u arranged with view
to 7 or i.;W O'Clock dinner Business
closes In time for q walk or drive before
that graceful hour. The thsaters open at
$50 Lectures begin and engagements are
made with view to the ceremony OF the
day The busy man closes his front door
on the exacting world, with it, cares and
worries, and sits down hundry, as prop
erly constituted person ought, to his dinner
lie takes his important meal, when he has
time to eat 1t, slowly, and with proper
regard for the welfare Of his digestive ap
paratus He has the evening and the night
before him He can smoke his cigar, and
he can unbend his mind In familiar and
pleasant talk, or he can read good novels
and can 10 to bed with that cheerful self
contentment which Is an essential pre-
requisite to sound sleep This is the theory,
and although late dinners do not always do
the good which they might w think that,

ness and long life
