 New York, April 3O-The varied expressions and the increasing ubi- 1 qUitousness of pajamas for every thing about the home except formal 1 affairs tends to make us realize that the hotly contested statement that women will eventually wear trousers was not so far from wrong.
 The pajama vogue is far more distinctly to this year of grace and comfort, 1880. They are jaunty, youthful and vet very lady-like, with their flaring, flounCed and | full trousers. They are decidedly flattering with their fitted bod} lines, their graceful and gracious sleeves jackets, necklines and color. alton.
 | Many women now wear printed cotton and linen pajamas for thei. mornings housework. The garden calls for it's own type, too. Still more wear paiamas for their leisure i lounging hours. The vogue for | beach pajamas is well-known an.l this summer will sec it's increase.
 Chic for Tea Hour
 The newest pajamas are the studio pajamaS." They are de- signed primarily for the tea or cocktail hour. They are dressier than lounging pajamas, inclined to be made of Trailer fabrics, and 1 are infinite in their variety of cut and effects. Quite as important are the dinner pajamas that host esses now wear for informal din- Gcrs.
 Both of these two types Of pa jamas arc rich and luxurious. Both use either figured or plain silks, satins, chiffons, georgettes and any other material they see fit to utilize.
 Since there arc some women who still prefer ncgligees, every collection this spring shows some charming examples of this type of intimate attire. But that paja- mas have definitely influenced these is an obvious fact. They have original cuts, distinctive lines and utilize only the most f,atterinG of materials It is as trough they realized that they are Waging a positive battle for their lives.
 A charming example of the in corporation of new modes in tea gowns is illustrated in the sketch. It is a robe of my own creation in gold brocaded chiffon and gold metal lace. Shirrcd on the shoul- ders, the brocade falls in grace ful train in the back, while the gold lace drops in side points and is utilized in combination with the brocade 10 form a sleeve which is mousquitarc in effect
 Nionnet is inc originator of the i breakfast pajamas illustrated. and i like most of Nionnet's concepts are made on the bias. In color | his little suit is cranberry red, 1 and has polka dot effect in brok- ! on mcdallions. The entire en- scmble is formed of bias trianglc;. | including the wide trousers. It is even buttoned on the bias with rcd buttons which have silver centcrs which light the whole costume. 1t ! is smart, modest and so utterly charming that any woman wear | ing it to breakfast may be sure no man will read his morning paper as long as she is present.
 A Black Satin Costume | One of my most successful pa i jenna creations of the season is q 1 rich ensemble designed for after noon tea at home. The full trou- sers arc of black satin and are stitched ill points to a pastel green satin blouse. The long black satin ! Coat has d charming modernistic | design in green vallcy-lily leaves | The wide cuffs and girdle arc of ! black satin, The pajamaS button dcWn the back with green buttons
 Tor the beach enchanting en- scmblcs are shown in many mate r!als, colors and styles. That it. 1 ihSlraled was orlglnatcd by Mary i NoVitzky. It is combination of | pale yellow rajah silk and white | silk piquo. with big, floppy hat ] oj knitted yellow silk and white silk piquc, the crown being knit i ted and the brim of the white ma tcrial, rolled back from the face and dropping LOW in the back The tuck-in bloucc is extremely simpl , and the wide trousers. which are more like a divided skirt, have q sailor effect in their buckled back. They are piped with white piqu2 and trimmed with big white pearl buttons. Tho ensemble is most swaggcr. In fact the hour has struck when youth may go all around the clock in pajama sui5.
