PAJAMAS FOR GIRLS

Charming Little Sleeping Garment for Daughter of House. Crepe De Chine or Any of the Washable Silks or Satins Employed for Undergarments Should -Be Used. Garments of the slip-over-the-head type are great favorites with schoolgirls, whether these garments are intended for indoor or outdoor, dress or negligee wear. . _ T The sketch Illustrates a wholly charming little sleeping garment, the

pants prettily laced In just above the ankles with lingerie ribbon in contrasting color, the same finish being applied to the neck of the garment proper and to the sleeves. Crepe de chine or nny one of the washable silks or satins employed for undergarments should be used, and the cord girdle may be omitted if desired, the garment to hang quite straight and smock-like, or it may be drawn in with ribbon run through a casing arranged for the purpose • To make these pajamas four and a half yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. If the daughter of the family is to go away to boarding school or college she should by all means have several pairs of pajamas included in her outfit, and she may ask for silk undergarments. Even the government stands back of the recommendation that women gratify their fondness for silken raiment, economizing on wool and cotton fabrics so that the army may by no chance suffer a shortage. Therefore, have the family dressmaker who comes for a week or two before school begins in the fall make up some shirting silk or crepe de chine or washable satin pajamas for the daughter who is going away to boarding school or college, and let the pajama coats be of the slip-over-the-head variety. Also make her a slip-over full-length silk kimono. That is quite the newest note in simple .boudoir garments.
