Women Wear NIahteaps Again.

Women Wear Nightcaps Again.
Hush-h-h! II is quite possible you
know II already. but It is a secret,
Just the same, and it never would do
to have it talked about; but the fact
is that all we girls are going back to
the fashion of our grandmothers and
yes, wearing nightcaps. But the
nightcap of to-day is a very different
affair from those that we're worn fifty
or sixty years ago. Those were frank
ly ugly. usually made Of some coarse
and heavy material. which covered
the head completely, extending over
the ears and under the chin. They
were worn for warmth. for there was
no steam heat at that date, and bed
rooms often we're chilly. The night
caps Of today are beautiful affairs of
laces and silks and all kinds OF dainty
weaves. and though the woman who
buys one might be inclined to doubt it,
they have the reason OF their exist
ence 40 motives of strict economy.
With the elaborate styles Of coiffure
that now are in fashion women find
they can fritter away a most unwel-
come proportion OF their pin money
on thalr hlirdressers, and they have
taken 10 uign tcaps so that after their
hair has been fixed up for a dinner or
theatre party In the evening they can
save it from being mussed up at night

Belief in witchcraft Is very preya-

her when IN an inspired condition,
the oracle declared that he had a very
bad temper and must sacrifice next
morning q red hachied cock. He did
so.
A few days later. Jemeea being ab-
sent, her fellow servants explained
that a very Old negress ought 70 have
had some of the blood, bot Jsmeea
had drunk the lot Then devils had
choked the old woman and Jemeea
had gone to the funeral She then

Jemeea could never go to the pub
lie oven to fetch our cakes and pies.
for there were djinns there who would
buffet her and maltreat her. On the
eve Of a certain feast she asked leave
to propitiate demons who we're con-
stantly making her drop and break
our crockery and fall down and hurt
herself
With all her witchcraft she was
simple enough in some things. We
told her once she might bring six
friends to our Christmas party when
we had a big Christmas tree and a
magic lantern. So six negresses
came. saw. received trihing presents
and went away much gratified.
But others Of her acquaintance, dis
appointed, fined old Jemeea for not
having invited them and she paid like

had received among other novelties
from England a most weird looking
lamp shade Of artfully colored paper,
which when placed over the lamp
showed the Illuminated head of
huge owl. with great, glaring. red
trimmed eyes.
Having carefully arranged it one
evening called Jemeea to the dining
room door and pointing to the terrific
apparition in the otherwise darkened
room. said: "Jemeea. who is that

floor and clasping my knees in abject
terror, imploring my protection from
