Show Protest Aeulnnt Late Hour. Tho young men who dance are probably engaged in their fathers1 offices or counting rooms, and have to bo at their desks at least by tt o'clock or 0:30 In tho morning. As it is not foshionablo to nrrivo at a ball until midnight or after, tho breaking up time ia seldom before 6. A man to be at his office by 0 must bo up at latest by 8, so he has less than three hours' sleep, after a day's work and a nighl'H hard play. To pull himself together to-gether ho ia apt to indulgo in a morning cocktnil and a champagne lunch, and tho result re-sult is that bo Is rather a poor specimen of humanity by tho ttmo ho reaches his forties. Then ho sees tbo follies of his ways, but it is too late. Tho fashionable hour for dinner parties Is about tho same horo as iu England 7 for ordinary dinner parties, 8 when they partake of tho nature of a banquet. All this is as silly as it is bad for a man, or a woman cither; but it is harder on tho men, for tbey have to go to work tho next day, while a woman can lio n-bed and rest. If it was not that athletics have- taken such a hold in this country (it is English to bo athletic), tho result re-sult of theso lato hours would bo oven more 1 marked ; but a man gets pivtty well built up In tbo summer and fall, and cau stand a winter win-ter camwiign bettor than if ho hadn't spent so much time out of doors.
