But the early morning takers are not hall
so aggravating as the early morning singers,
who walk by trilling some jolly catch. If The
tune is recognizable it may start running
through your head, and after that there is no
use counting sheep to get back to sleep. sheep
will never jump fence in time to jazz. IL
the tune sounds strange, you stop wondering
what it is, but you start wondering why any
one should be singing at that time of night,
and if there's reason where he got it.
Next you may hear the clinking Of glass, OIL
bottle on bottle. And nowadays you can't

Among the noises that pass in the night arc

their voices are habitually raised; also their

world-old fact that humanity 3

Miss Lulu Bett. They know that she
is the minor chord in the song of life:
that the pipes and cymbals Of youth
have pushed her out of the pro-
cession and that she follows the great
road alone.
The Miss Lulu Bett of the play is
the family drudge of western home.
Her married sister is a self-centered
woman: her brother-in-law well
