For the Summer Pajama Neglige
EY MARY MARSHALL.

Z warm afternoon, quite appropriate
according to present standardization
the cup of afternoon tea slipped with
an intimate friend or two in your own
apartment: a wise selection as sleep

For the young woman who must
rise betimes in the morning to pre-
pare her husba nd 5 breakfast. and who
is too indoIent to rise in time to dress
in trim house frock before going
about her tasks. this certainly Is a.
far neater and more useful costume
than the fluffy-ruff'e sort of neglige
with flowing skirts and frilly sleeves,
lace and ribbon trimmed.
You may he tempted to make one
of these neslices yourself. One eX-
cellent way TO go about il is to get
enough black silk-Sood quality china
silk or crepe de chine preferably-for
the trousers and band trimming on
the Jacket. and enough of some vividly
figured silk with black background to
make the jacket and the trimming on
the trousers. BY all means have the
Slip-on type of jacket, which simplif1es
the u liking and the wearing of 1t.
Pc ] IDLY you may prefer for the
black material satin-faced crepe,
though this, of course, is little heav-
ier in weight than the plain crepe or
the china silk.
There are women who, while they
never attempt to make any of their
own frocks. do make all their negli-
ges. and some Of the number follow
the custom of using ''left-oVers' from
evening or afternoon frockS for this
purpose. This type of pajama neglige
offers really splendid way Of using
up the material Of Il discarded black
silk frock and almost any sort of
figured silk.

race lived In state of primitive Com
munism, where there were neither
masters nor slaves; where all shared
alike in the products Of the group. In
this period descent was traced in the
female line. Group marriage pre-
vailed-all the women of one group
being the mutual wives of all the men
in an opposite group. These groups
comprised all the people descended
from one female ancestress and were
called "genses." The children of a
man did not belong to his gems, but to
that of his mate, but the children of
his sisters belonged to his gems.
IN the early period of savagery and
l far into barbarism the activity of
men and women was essentially the
same, but with the constant develop
ment Of the crude instruments Of Ia
Dor there resulted a division of tasks,
a diversity OF occupations. The men
engaged in fishing and hunting, while
the women took care Of the commun-
ity houses. The domestication OF
animals, agriculture, the manufacture
OF iron tools and implements, in the
middle and upper status of barbarism
became the special province OF man;
thus man became the master and
owner of special economic forces.
But even tho the men did own herds
and implements and later agricultural
lands, they could not transfer these
to their offspring, because OF the old
gentle laws that demanded that pro-
perty remain within the gems; hence
the children of a mans sisters became
the heirs OF his property.

n LII class societies based upon
n private property have degraded
women to an inferior position to that
Of men. Thruout the history Of civ.
ilization-thru chattel slavery, fudal.
ism and capitalism-ownership Of pri-
vate property descended from genera
ton to generation by male lineage.
In this scheme woman was simply a
necessary appendage wherewith the
race was perpetuated. In the earliest
period of mans domination over wo-
man new religion arose that ideolog-
ically justified the forcible economic
suppression of woman. Conceived in
a patriarchial society, that religion
still functions to this day and is pre-
sumed to be the basis Of all ethics
and morality.
N CCoRDING to this superstition
- the first human being upon the
earth was one man, but the omnipo-
tent ruler of the universe. for some
reason known only to himself, decided
to create a woman to keep him com.
pany and to beget children for him.
All the human inhabitants Of the earth
are descended from this one pair.
Woman. being a secondary considera-
tion Of the almighty, has always had
an inferior position, equal to that of
horses, cattle, sheep and other do
mesticated animals that were placed
upon the earth for the specific pur-
pose Of serving man. Ideologists call
this arrangement "diyinely consti.
tuted union of souls" and treat any.

igin Of the institution of marriage as
an enemy Of society.
