midnight
It is the good of the whole for which I am working , for which I am contending to-day . What you women do , who are not obliged to add to the work of the world that you may live in it , is not of any great importance ; it is for the toilers in the vineyard that I plead . The girls and young men in this town can not dance and drink and play all night and do the constructive work of the community in the daytime . If Luella May Spain falls asleep or nods at her typewriter and fails to get out the telegram to you or Nickols which Mr. Tate has shouted to her off the keys , do you excuse her because she has been fatiguing herself until midnight trying to learn some new dance that Billy Harvey has brought down to the Last Chance from your Country Club ? You would not ! She would be fired on your complaint . '' `` But are we responsible for how the girls and men in the Settlement spend their evenings ? ''
