From The New York Tribune,
There is no doubt that the night was
meant for sleep, and that the longer one
sits IN and the faster the pace in the wan
inc hours the harder it will be, as King
Henry discovered, to put the night to its
legitimate use. True there is a good deal
of fun in sitting up, but just as much fun
could be had in the twenty-four hours il
the yotaries of amusement would begin
earlier. The tendency is to stretch the
day at the wrong end, and now comes the
vaudeville to tempt the fashionable world
with eight entertainments and with to-
hacco and beer to stretch 1t little more.
Some day society may learn the value
of beauty sleep and of health sleep, which
l. nretty much the same thing, and the
nroscnt nervous butterflies may be succeed
