There is a stenographer in a midtown hotel whose name is Janet Alderman. All day she sits at a typewriter punching out let ters but she would rather be play ing Helen Holmes on the top of railroad box cars. She comes from Texas, and twice she has fallen off box cars. What, you will very properly ask, what business has young girl riding on the top of box cars? Absolutely none But can't help it" she confesses Its sort of mania. I've been doing it ever since I was big enough to climb upon one. My mother finally sent me to New York to stay with my aunt-just to keep me off box cars"

Perhaps If Is the Weather But Dream Walking"
 If Not Any Haze
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-hhave you ever seen dream walking? l have. It's the Broadway nightclub proprietors. Maybe "daZe" would be a better word than dream Something's hit them. They don't quite know what. But it all adds up to this: Empty tables Idle wait CTS. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's politics. Maybe people prefer to sit by their radios than so out In any case, the traffic is low, yet the rent goes on. and the license fees and the salaries
 We went into a club last night with seating arrangement for four hundred and found 43 people. We went into another that seats about 3C0 and found 55. We went into hotel roof garden that can ac- commodate 300 people and count ed 31. They seemed lost and mel ancholy The orchestras were play ing their best But their hearts weren't in it. Their hearts were out of the window with the breezes, or in the managers office, won- dering about their contracts.
 It has always been stated that in times of national and interna- tional stress-such as wars-peo- pie become imbued with sort of to-hell- with it let's enjoy life - while-We-can complex. This has been true in the past. It isn't true now. People would rather listen to Willkie or Roosevelt than to Joe Lewis or Milton Berle. They would rather hear news broad cast than pay a cover charge for the privilege of listening to a society" orchestra. There will al- ways be nightclubs in New York, and some of them will prosper But the old, crowded, jammed-up days seem gone.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Finances and In Laws Should Be
Talked Over Before Marriage

cize each other for doing the
things they like to do themselves.
1t is only when one wants to do
one thing and the other another
thing that they fight.
They should settle before mar
riage the three things that lead
to divorce oftener than anything
else. The first one is the money
question. Every girl should know
before marriage what proportion
of his earnings her future hus-
band intends to allot her for run
ming the house and her own per-
sonal needs. She should know
whether he is going to be a nickel
dealer or give her an allowance,
so that she can take him or leave
him without the mess of divorce.
Then they should settle the
in-law complication. Not only
should the husband and wife know
whether mother is coming to live
with them, but they should have
some sort of an idea about how
many visiting relatives they are
likely to have.
And, thirdly, while there is still
time to sidestep a dictator, each
should know the others ideas
about personal liberty, and whether
the man considers that a woman s
place is in the home out of which
she should never be allowed to stir
or whether ne thinks that home
keeping wives have only homely wit
and wants his to CAD around good
bit and belong to clubs and get fresh
ideas 50 Is to be m interesting COM

Dear Miss Dix: What things
should a girl and boy who are going
to be married know about each
other? My fiance and I want to
talk things over and get better
understanding before we are mar
ried. Please tell me some of the
things I should tell him and the
questions I should ask him about
himself. BETH.
Answer think the chief thing
that a boy and girl who are to be
married should know about each
other is what sort of a disposition
each has, because 1t Is your hus-
bands or your wife's disposition
that is going to make or mar the
success of your marriage. A man
might have every virtue under the
sun; he might be moral, sober,
industrious and good provider,
yet if he be surly, grouchy, jealous,
tyrannical, his wife will be per-
fectly miserable. A woman might
be a leader in the church, the pro-
motor of good causes and a good
cook and manager, yet if she be
high-tempered, nagging, bossy or
peevish and fretful and complain
ing. her husband will curse the day
he married her.
Then a young couple should find
out beyond all possibility of mistake
whether they are congenial; !;
whether they have the same tastes
in everything from politics to pie;
whether they enjoy doing the same
things and like the same people.
Husbands and wives never erit.

No wonder this tailored type of
blouse with skirt is so popular and
smart. It's extremely becoming to
slim figures, its casual chic is so
young and gallant. And this is de-
cidedly practical style, excellent
10 wear with short fur jackets and
economically providing several
changes. Three or four such blouses
and one skirt will give you gratify-
hg variety during workaday week.
The fact that the blouse is high
necked and collarleSs. the skirt far

design right in the forefront of
casual fashions.
Plaid wool, tweed flannel and
