Three O'clock in the Morning Means Lunch Time
(United Press)
London, Oct. 1—Staid old London has had its first touch of "night-life of New York."
With the trek of American tourists now on the turn homeward, London hotel proprietors and waiters have had time to sink exhausted into lounge chairs and tell of the "horrible pace" which the Americans maintained while here during the past season.
It all began when a group of nearly 30 Anglo-Americans stormed a large Strand hotel at 9 o'clock in the morning and demanded that they be served with a complete dinner. This was the first time in history which was destined to become a part of the regular routine of London's "400."
For the first time in history a part of London's younger and "smart" bank average bank clerk retires and end it when the ain is high over London
One member of the party revealed the program as follows:
8 p. m. Arise, bathe and breakfast.
9-11 p. m. Moonlight swimming or tennis by searchlight.
11:30 p. m. Light refreshments,
11:20 m. To the first night club for
cocktails, followed by dancing until
about 2:30 a. m.
3 a. m. Lunch.
4 a. m. "Do the second night club
with dancing until 7 or 8 o'clock."
London managers are now wondering how long the English younger net can last under the strain of "American hours."

Success Is Easy
"My four years at the University were happy years. I amate a host of friends who have been loyal and true through these years.
