THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C.—GRAVURE SECTION—FEBRUARY 14. 1926. LATE HOURS By W. E. HILL. (Copyright, 1926, by the Chicago Tribune.) The lateness of the hour is all according to the spirit of the generation. Witness mamma, grandma and Mary at odds over the latter's return from a party at 6 am. “When 1 was a girl,” says grandma, “we were home from a party by 9:30, and very grate- ful we were to our mothers for taking such good care of us!

Long ago they stopped repressing the yawns. The young man has been telling them all about why the firm closed the account of Mr. Whosis, and about his cousin Frank's engagement and how a girl friend said he had no sense of humor. Josephine, the young lady standing, is pretend- ing, without any success, that she hears a milkman down the street. “Don’t go home yet; we never go to bed!” The sleepy hostess who can think of [ ; 4 nothing more allur- 5 . 2 R? ing than her little 3 bed upstairs is mak- ing a brave show at hospitality before the late staver. Late hours may be all right for city dwellers, but for the suburban gupulation it's “early to ed and early to rise or we'll never catch the 8:25.
