gets ready slowly, and shaw s, and finally
gets to bed about midnight; and gets up In
the morning at 7 o'clock shy an hours
sleep, which impairs Brilkklins's fire and
effectiveness somewhat, for Brilkky is a
young man, and young men require plenty
OF sleep.
With plenty OF sleep they turn out fresh
and vigorous and strong. And still they
don't seem to have sense enough to go to

Here's Brilkklins, for instance, been out
and up late now three nights in succession,
one night late at the Office, the next night
calling on his girl, and the next night late
at the Office again, home early tonight and
really ought to go to bed, but sitting up
late just the same.
He really meant to go to bed early, but
with the strain and interest and excitement
let down it's comfortable and easy to sit
around, and so when he gets settled he reads
a little and smokes a little and talks a good
deal and dawdles away the time, till the
first thing he knows it's IL O'Clock, and it's
, midnight before be actually presses the
pillow, when he meant to 60 to bed at 8,
which really meant. say, as early as 10.
But then Brilkklins is not the only one.
There are plenty Of people, old and young,
that don't know enoughto go to bed nights.
