Women are adopting pajamas right
along. Those who have tried them say
that their name is solid comfort OF
course, II takes a strong-minded woman
TO give up that most becoming garment in
her wardrobe, the nightgown. and dealers
say that it is the girl bachelors who have
taken most kindly to pajamas. This is
easily accounted for. The SWEETEST night
dress is an elaborate affair, full and long.
and clings about the feet in classic folds.
II is beautiful and dainty to look at, but
il is I'm the way of the girl bachelor who
has TO close her own blinds. climb on
chairs and tables TO put out her lights
and do the other things about her apart
ment which women always put off until
they are ready to jump into bed. So she

Modish paiamas are by no means unbe-
coming or bad to look at. They are made
OF wash silk in dainty colors and also of
thin madras and cotton cheviot. The
waists of some are finished with silk cord,
while others are fastened with ribbons
and have lace-edged collars. Pajamas
have one decided advantage over the night
dress-they always stay down and il is
not possible to get ones feet entangled
in them. Those who know say they are
far cooler in hot weather and warmer in
cold than any other garment. Be that
as il may. pajamas have crept into wo-
mans wardrobe, and apparently they are
there TO stay.

Hymnals as Easter Gifts

The gift of handsomely bound
prayerbook and hymnal together is an
Easter gift peculiarly appropriate to the
solemn. yet joyful season. Select them
with the binding of the prayerbook pro-
vided with an extra flap or cover, into
which one cover of the hymnal may be
slipped. This is convenience in hold
ing and carrying also. The newer
shapes, queens binding" makes
long, slender prayerbook. Beyond their
indisputable novelty. they have little to
recommend them. The ordinary shape
is much prettier. and quite as comforta-
bic to the hand.
If you ask for India paper you will get
a prayerbOok with clear, large print. Yet
the volume is nearly half a size smaller
than il would necessarily be If printed
on ordinary paper. The India paper
is extra thin, and does not take up
much room. One has, 20 pay more for
it, however. Its use adds about S1.50 to
the cost of an edition.

Manners of the Modern Girl.

The manners of the modern girl have
recently been severely criticized by one
of the most modern of women: yet while
admitting the fact that the presence and
address of the highly-educated, over
nervous, restless young persons of to-
day are. to a certain extent, lacking both
in distinction and in charm, / do not find
in them the stolid rudeness which you
often see in the elderly matrons and
spinsters who were young some thirty
years ago.
Take the typical matron in a railway
train or an omnibus and what civility or
consideration, pray, do you ever get from
her? If you enter an omnibus lined with
plump materfamiliases do they gracious
ly make room for you, or see that you
get your proper amount of space by SER
rying their ranks? Not at all. Only too
often they regard you as an unwelcome
intruder and refuse to bulge until ad-
monished by the conductor.
Again, in a crowd, where anything is
to be seen or seats are scarce, give me
the much-abused modern girl in her
thousands. rather than a few hundreds
of elbowing, pushing, elderly DANES. of
degree however high.
Inc AhleilCdH udInsel Is lne youngest
product of our latter-day civilization, yet

est manners, the most gracious address,

ries, and 10! quite naturally and grace
fully. from plain miss she becomes an
Italian princess, an English duchess, or
a French marchioness, and she has moth
ing to learn in what Mr.. TurUeydrop
called department" To be sure she is
sometimes a trifie precieuse and little
self-conscious, but you never have to
suffer rudeness or impertinence at her
hands.

English Taste In Dress.
lFrom the Argonaut.)

English women are at last learning
to dress The monotOnous uniformity
of their gowns has long been an eye
sore to the observer who has the least
artistic sense, but the Spring fashions
for 1895 show that the women who pay
more attention to the subject Of dress
are attempting. with more or less sue
cess, to strike out individual lines
Not very long ago it was the we'll
dressed woman about whose costume
no special remark could be made.
This is no longer the case. and yet it is
somewhat difficult TO draw the line be-
tween what is exceptionally becoming
to the individual wearer and that kind
of eccentric garbing which prOyOkes
unpleasant comment rather than ad-
miration from those privileged to gaze
upon it. Quaint, Old-fashiOned jewels
are just now in great request, for they
give. especially when good stones, dis
tinction to any costume. Again, in
stead Of sending to Europe for her
gowns. the diplomats wife who finds
herself say. in the far East, Will de-
vote her best attention to discovering
any native or local material embrOid-
cries. laces-anything. in short. which
can later be pressed into service. which
the last court ball held at Brussels, the
wife of the British ambassador wore
a rose-colOred mOire trimmed with zib
cline ur.which she had herself brought
from Japan some years ago. At the
same ball the Princess de Chimay ap-
peared in a gown which had once been
worn by the Empress Josephine. In
deed, at the present time very large
sums are willingly given for a well-pre-
served eighteenth-century court gown,
and even more for one of those curious
short-waisted dresses worn at court of
the great Napoleon. This is doubtless
owing, in a great measure. to the re-
vival of private theatricals. The wO-
man who has once seen herself trans
formed into a positive beauty by the
addition of a white wig, paniers and
a few patches, will try, not unnatural
Iy, to repeat the effect when ordering
her next ball gown or dinner dress. If
fortune sends her way genuine Louis
XIV costume, few skillful touches will
bring it up to date without one whit
destroying the old wiTld charm.

How to Treat "Tabbie."

Miss Justine Ingersoll has come out
with the proper dietary for Angora cats
and it may be remarked in passing II IS
also the proper one for all sorts OF te-
lines nurtured and petted by man. The
house-bred cat has as many tastes as
his superiors. There are certain dlshes ne
hates. and there are others which may
not be good for him that he Graves. Ills
beauty and his amiability depend on ms
diet. But as the study of foods and their
nourfshment of human beings has been
worked into a fad of late, it Is not very
wonderful if the same theories should
hold in regard to high-bred animals
Now the healthfulness of milk as a daily
tipple for puss is being questioned. there
should be n great saving in the milkman
account. Tradition has so long associat-
ed cream with tabbies that it will be dif-
ficule to disabuse cat-loving public OF
the idea that milk is not necessary TO the
cats happiness.

MEASLES WITHIN.

The mistress of the home happened 70
be in the doorway. and out Of the SYM
pathetic fulIness Of his heart the bache-
lOr called TO her:
Il am sorry to hear about your little
ones Mrs. B. he exclaimed.
Thank you for the sympathy, said
the lady. "But the children are no longer
in danger. They are getting well nice
ly."
How can that be?'' said the bache-
Ior. Their symptoms seem to me eX-
tremeIy OminOus.
What do YOU mean?" cried the lady.
Il mean said the bachelor that the
measles should be brought out. IL is
very bad symptom If they are not brought
out Why don't you do something TO
bring them Out?
''B-but'' stammered the astOnishcd lady,
who told you they were not
Your sign said the bachelor.
And pointing to it, he read aloud:

The lady giggled.
That's so" she said. Its a false
statement. Take it away
And he did.

REPRODUCTIONS FADING AWAY
An Old-FashiOned Custom Yielding
to Fashions Dictntion.

The modern fashion of non-introduction
is an unfortunate one from a social point
of view, and has done more to disinte-
CRATE general society than any one thing.
In the good. old-fashioned days, when ev-
eryone was introduced by the hostess
without discrimination, she feeling that
she had the right in her own house to
make her guests known to each other,
there was the outward semblance, at
least of cordiality, and II was possible to
enfuse new and therefore interesting ele-
ments into nearly every reunion. Now
this is made well-nigh impossible by the
modern exclusiveness distrust indffer-
ence, or whatever 1t Is, that has brought
about the present system. OF course, the
theory is that any guest may safely speak
TO another in the drawing-room of a mu-
tual acquaintance, but no one does, and
Mrs Tiptop or Miss Midas would resent
the direct address of an unknown of
either sex. To n stranger or to anyone
who has been out of touch through one
cause or another with the social world for
some time. such ostracism-for it amounts
to that's most uncomfortable. and the
fact that it is the fashion, and not on
dNNOuIll VI any liiiiS pei Scileiit bpSS NV
make il any easier. A once well-known
fashionable woman, who for many years
had been "out of it, by reason of mourn
ing. absence abroad. etc, and who for the
sake of her young daughter has been try
ing this Winter to take up the broken
thread of her life. was speaking the 9TH
er day Of this modern omission with con-
siderable aCumen; she referred to the de-
lightful contrast in the salon of a certain
grande dame of the old SCHOOL who with
kindly courtesy introduced her guests to
each other and did her best to make them
feel at home. 1T was like going into a
different atmosphere" declared the alb
sentee, and in her drawing room / re-
gained my self-respect, which had been
sadly shaken, as for a woman of my age
to ind suddenly that she has neither a
local habitation, nor a name among the
present generation is not little trying"
In Germany men invariably ask to be
introduced TO n stranger, whether she is
attractive or not; the fact that she is the
guest of their hostess makes IL incumbent
upon them to pay her that courtesy. This
done, they retire at once, but il gives the
opportunity for a future dance or con-
Nersation should the occa sion arise and
certainly greatly adds to the ease and
comfort OF the newcomer. 1t is a great
pity that such a commendable habit could
not be inaugurated among us, instead of
the Indifferent avoidance which every
year becomes more marked and makes en-
tertaining more difficult.

The Carrier Pigeon.

(Frpm the Brooklyn Eagie.l
Among the impossible things that have
happened of late is the sending If a re-
port of rescue at sea through the agency
of a pigeon. This pigeon had not flown
to a land where he would enjoy a chance
of discovery and imparting his news to
many witnesses. but was on his way
there. He was flying over the wide
wastes of the Atlantic and boarded
ship bound for Swansea. The message
that the bird was carrying announced
that the English ship had been helped by
the French liner La Bretagne and that
her trip might be delayed by the Incl
dent The receipt of this news will allay
anxiety respecting the French ship and it
also indicates in a surprising way the
usefulness of these carriers in situations
where the mails are not TO be relied upon.
In case of war it is probable that pigeons
would carry news from point to point
across spaces not traversed by the rail-
road or the telegraph. The Bretigne
carried a hundred of these messengers
when she left Havre, the captain intend
ing to liberate them from time to time,
TO test their usefulness in case of acci-
dent. The pigeon that alighted on the
steamer that was making for Swansea
met it 25O miles from the Scilly Islands.
and nobody knows how long flight had
preceded the meeting. In calm weather
il is probable that the birds would be
able TO fly for considerable distances, IL
their sense of direction holds as securely
over the untracked water as II Goes
across the land The managers of the
French Line contemplate the supply OF
pigeons to every vessel Of their ieet, so
that in the event of encountering any
ship in the fog or driving against a rock
OF an iceberg. news of the disaster might
reach the land more speedily and surely
than by the antiquated and uncertain
method of committing messages In Dot
