when the furnace man gets up, to
9:25, when the last lazy boarder hits
the floor so that he can get under the

not much letup.
"But about noon they start all
over again. We have three night
workers. One gets up at II, one at

the tea date clocks begin to ring.
1t seems as if every woman in the
house has tea date some afternoons
and lies down for a few minutes of
beauty sleep before going out.
"Of course there are the regular
late afternoon sleepers who shop and
who come in to rest for a few min

when he comes home.
