PAIAMAS THE THING

MANY women who have not adopted
pajamas as a sleeping garment
| at home are using them when travelling
at night, for no one likes to take her
pretty frillies on the sleeping car and
the average nightgown Is such short
sleeved tlimsy affair that 1t affords lit
tie protection from the drafts Of the
berth. There are, of course, special
pajamas made for women, but the most
comfortable to wear are the ones made
for boys. There is no denying the fact
that the womans pajamas in white
china silk with white silk frogs are
mighty smart looking and comfortable
at the same time.
For women who demand durability in
their underwear the shantung silk pa
jana will appeal strongly.
Mems pajamas are usually made in
four sizes. and it is a very large wo-
man who will need the second or third
size.
The wise woman who elects to wear
pajamas Will do we'll to buy one pair
at a time and first make sure that she
has the right size. In winter they are
a great protection against cold. and
people suffering from rheumatism will
find them especially comfortable.
Moreover, there Is a certain smartness
about them. And let me whisper
II you are at all nervous about acci-
dents on the train, wouldn't you
great deal rather crawl out of your
battered sleeper in dark pajama guar
anteed to cover you than fimsy wisp
of a nightgown which Is not so great
protection as the mantle Of charity?

point cut across and ftted into Q band.
A pattern for this apron Is easy to cut,
a good proportion being eighteen inches
across the widest part and eighteen
inches long when finished.
Any soft, sheer material is liked. A
fine Paris muslin Is serviceable, though
1t looks frail like organdie. Very elab-
crate are those made OF chiffon cloth.
