increased proportionately.. Gaining the
ear of our hostess, we expressed our de-

peals of laughter, and learn, to our dis
eomfiture. that Binkie,' was the specta-
cled gentleman at the head of the table,
/ equally addicted to sweet things and
philology. Both Binkie' himself and the
creator of this exquisitely appropriate
name enjoyed the story SO much that II

II ss a little early as yet to speak deh-
nitalv of the styles for next winter. says
.sHarper's Bazaar but there have peeh
one or two gowns sent over in advance
RI show what is to be tried upon the
public. Among these gowns there nave
been one or two tea gowns One in black
satin is a superb costume, but rather on
the lines of one that was brought over
some few years ago that did not make a
success. II is of black satin, tight-fitting
q the back. The front has darts, and
is tight-dtting until directly in front,
where it hangs straight from the snouiuer
to the hem, and then opens to show an
under petticoat and tight-fitting waist
The petticoat and waist are of pink SATIN,
completely covered with rows of white
lace. Down the fronts of the black satln
outside ~gown-there is an en-
hroidery done by hand in shaded pink
roses. the fronts being lined with PINK
satin. There is a collar quite high at the
back. with the roses going around II, ana
the elbow sleeves are finished with a band
of the roses and deep ruffles OF White
lace. to match that on the petticeat- There
is nothing particularly new about the
shape of the gown, the novelty being IN
the embroidery, which is most exquisitely
done bv hand. Hand embroidery on cos
tunes was seen last winter. 1t has been
used in Paris this summer, and may or
NAV not be fashionable over here next
year. It will never be generally worn,
for it is most expensive when it is done
with the care that is exhibited in the
gown just described.

1t is hardly likely that the pillow was
invented by anyone in particular, says
the San Francisco "Chronicle." 1t was
in the first instance, there is every rea-
son to believe, a very rational institution,
and consisted of a small pad upon which
to rest the head when beds were by no
means such luxurious affairs as they are
today.
The pillow in use today Is response
Bile for many evils, which you may be
willing to admit when they are pointed
out to you, and if you would but test
the efficacy of their disuse you would
become as ardent an advocate of the Gus
tom as is the writer.
There is no greater fallacy than the be-
lief that a big, downy pillow conduees to
restfulness and health in sleeping. You
sink into its embrace, and delude your
self that you are comfortable, with your
head resting upon the dear, soft, cosey
mass of feathers. Yet, if the pillow slips
away from you in your sleep. do you miss
it's seemingly soothing influence? No.
And if you can sleep thus comfortably
and not know it, why should you not nave
the courage to put it away altogether?
The pillow may seem to breathe out
beautiful dreams to you; but while it is
beguiling your attention with its seeming
restfulness it may be pushing your ears
out of shape, and it is certainly making
wrinkles in your neck and deepening the
hollows over the chest by forcing the
head forward. 1t may seem a little thing
in Itself; but, happening every night, it
will rob you of all the beauty your neck
would naturally have and nullify the
good of any exercise you may a Aside
from the benefits to be derived in a shape
ly neck and chin, to sleep without a pill
low will conduce to health and greater
restfulness. 1t may seem strange at first,
even a bit painful, but if p~ersevered in
YOU can very soon overcome this, and the
good to be derived will repay you.
