NEW YORK, April 21.-Anybody
L Y who thinks pajamas are only
for sleeping or lounging is vastly
mistaken this season! There's
scarcely a time or event of the
whole day when you can't wear
pajamas-and faShionably-if you
want to.
Let's see how a p2jama day goes.
Morning-breakfaSt to get-house-

Lots of women are wearing EN-

Ready for Tea
If the doorbell rings while you're
resting, on with the jacket and
you're fashionably dressed to re-
ceive callers or even serve tea.
And if your pajamas are in a
smart color combination with in
teresting fashion details, they can
sit in for a round of informal aft

Just
Every
Day
Sense

A GOOD many different people
"A claim credit for the Mothers
day idea. Though Miss Ann Jar
Wis had it incorporated and copy
righted, others swear they thought
it up.
Well, here's one mother who is
not going to give three rousing
cheers for the originator.
This year, it is announced, a
committee of prominent men and
women will use the day to collect
funds from those whose mothers
are dead, the money to be used
for poor women and their babies.
And once again in this fair
land, sentiment knocks out COM
mon sense.
We will arise on May 10 and
ponder the joys of maternity.
We will go to church and give unc-
tuous thanks for mothers. We
will shed some crocodile tears
and drown ourselves in sentiment.
But-congress has turned it's
thumbs down on the maternity
and infancy bill that would have
helped countless women and saved
thousands Of babies. The Presi-
dent has done the same for the
Wagner unemployment measures
that might have put many a wife
back home with her children.
WYE give no thought to the
wv problems of the young
mother who is obliged to support
her family. She doesn't receive
from employers the same wage
that single men get. Instead, we
today excitedly are kicking her
out Of a job if she has one.
We do practically nothing for
the girl mother of the illegitinate
child except prevail upon her to
throw her baby away. We give
small concern to the vital eco
nomic problems that affect
mothers.
Yet we talk about honoring
them Aren't we ever going to
get rid of this sticky affectation
that passes for reverence, and sub
stitute justice that is needed so
badly? Women who rear Alneri-
can. children deserve something
more substantial than fine words
and charity.
Let those who believe mother
hood is the highest calling work
for the things that really would
honor mothers: a living wage, I'M
employment insurance for men,
municipal nurseries, maternity
and old-age pension laws, the
abolition of war.
When we have those, it will be
time to talk about the celebration
of Mothers DAY.
