The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-05-30

washington - Night life in the National capital, of which there Is never much in the metropolitan sense, expands when the senate has evening sessions.
 Thousands who can't spare time otherwise ascend Capitol Hill to observe the upper house doing tts stuff under the bright lights. The night crowds lately have exceed cd the day crowds and usually there are lines outside the gallery doors still waiting to get in at re- cess.
 For aftcr-supper parties tho senate often takes the place of . theater and beautiful evening dresses and dinner, coats arc fre- quently seen in the galleries. There's always a prospect or more excitement at night. Tired and sore after long warm days, members arc more likely to blow up. And some of them are more likely to have been drinking. AL though, one observes, some of the most conspicuous senatorial drink- CTS of the last congress are no longer here.

 Progression divorccs' are no joke. The idea may sound like Il funny newspaper story, but 90 or 70 women in the government serv. ice actually have visited the Ma tional Woman's Party headquart- CTS in the last two or three weeks and declared their intention of getting legal separations from their husbands in case congress pro. vided It's economy measure that when husband and wife work for the government ono of them VII! be first considered for dismissal when employes must be fired. The theory 10 that q separation con- tract would exempt them.
 The Woman's Party recently boycotted a railroad which began to fro married women from itx clerical foreo as 2 matter oi policy, after showering It's presi' dent with telegrans from mein' bers over the country. A compet' ing road hastened to assure the girls that 1t would adopt no such policy and meanwhile would be kglad to get their business.
