Of informal afternoon bridge,
too.
Dinner time. At home to-
night. So on go the dining pa
jamas. One-piece again but
with a jacket. Cut like an eve
ming dress with a low decollet-
age and narrow shoulder straps.
Since dinners more or less in
formal, you wear the jacket
that goes with them. If it were
more formal, you'd leave the
jacket off.
And so to bed," as Pepys
used to say, when he closed his
diary for the day. Pajamas
again. Loose, comfortable ones
with an overblouse tie with a
sash or a tuck-in top, if you pre-
fer.
Sleeping pajamas aren't cut
as wide in the trousers as
lounging pajamas. And again,
lounging pajamas aren't usually
as wide-trousered as dinner pa
JamaS.
These most formal types Of
pajamaS are so wide in the
trousers no one need ever
know they are pajamas. They're
literally yards around-each
trouser. And standing or sit
ting they fall in such soft
fulness and graceful draplngs
that they look exactly like a
skirt.
DreSS-Like Lines
The one sketched at the
upper left has that lovely long
Grecian line that so many eve
ming dresses have. In fact.
if you weren't told it was a
pajama costume, you'd never
know it, would you?
In the center is a lounglng
and informal afternoon pa
jana costume in two colors
with the fashionable bell sleeves
on the jacket.
And at the upper right is a
gay affair of printed cotton in
which house work can be
whisked through in a jiffy-
because it gives you so much
pep!

If you haven't yet decided on
just what type wrap you'll
choose for late summer after
moons and evenings, you are in
luck, for here's the sweetest
thing we've seen of it's kind for
sometime. And the price is low
enough to justify buying it
for that trip you're planning to
Europe.
Victorian Influence
A queen, famous in English
history, contributes to the
quaint charm of this jacket. It
is Enthusiastically Victorian in the
short-length and restrained pep
lum, but it borrows it's flatter-
ing cape collar from another
period. This collar reverts to
the Victorian, with it's old-timey
edge of pleated velvet ribbon,
and is very like a fischu in the
front, a combination hard to
describe, but lovely to look at.
New bell sleeves are another
note that is important in sum-
mer wraps.
Black Is Good
Black, by far the most i'm
portant color for evening wraps,
is chosen for this jacket, and it
is perfectly lovely in the shiny
transparent velvet of which it is

100000 GIVEN
NOTRE DAME

CHICAGO, April 81 d.N.S0-
Plans for construction Of a new
engineering building at Notre
Dame University were being
pushed today following the gift
of 100000 for that purpose
which was announced at the
universal Notre Dame night at
the Drake Hotel last night.
John F. Cushing, president Of
the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock
Company and a member Of the
class of 1905 was the donor of
the funds.
A solemn touch was given to the
affair as alumni recalled the death
of Knute Rockne. A dozen tr.b-
uteS were paid to the memory of
the famous coach.

made. Something else in it's
favor is the fact that it is
nicely lined with white silk. A
number of Sunday night dinner
and evening ensembles may be
planned around this jacket, for
it will be very smart with
black, white, pastels, vivid
colors or prints, and it is a
fashion that is bound to be
popular all summer. 1t is
available in paStels, too, and a
pastel jacket with a printed
frock would be another good
combination. Anyway, it is a
wearable and a practical mode,
something that is not always
easy to find.

any questions about this jacket
or fashions. Call District $3.50,

LABOR RIFT
MRS. MARY K. ALLEN

VANCOUVER. B. c., Oct. IA
GN.SJ-The threatened breach
in the ranks of organized labor
had been averted today when
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor unanimously
supported the committee report
on. jurisdictional fight between
various crafts.
The opposing resolution was
nipped in the bud by William
Green, president of the fedora
ton. when he quoted the views
of the late Samuel GOmpers on
matters of internal dissensiOn.
The resolution was sponsored
by the building trades depart
ment of the federation and would
have compelled union carpenters,
bricklayers. and electrical work
ers to re-affiliate with the build
ing trades department or lose
their charter in the American
Federation of Labor.

the money without getting any
benefit, Brig. Gen. Frank T

8 SITESSTUD|ED
FOR SCHOOL

CECIL ALLEN

District officials today con.
tinued to study three proposed
sites for the new senior high
school in the Reno section Of
Chevy Chase, with indications
definite decision will be made
within the week.
Meanwhile condemnation pro-
ceedings by which the District
seeks to obtain property at
Thirty ninth and Fessenden
Streets Northwest, are going for
ward. This land originally was
intended for an elementary
school, but Major John c. Got
walls, engineer commissioner, is
said to favor it as the site for
the senior high school.
School officials have rejected
the site for the high school but
Major Gotwals is said to have
an understanding with certain
members of Congress to use the
property for that purpose.
Congress last February appro-
priated $4,000 to purchase the
high school site and also gave
the District 100000 for plans and
specifications.
School officials urge the Com
missioners to speed purchase Of
the site since they expect 4, ask
Congress to include money for
the building in the 1888 appro-
priation. hearings on which will
be held before the Budget Blu
reau next week.
