' The most elaborate pajamas are seen at I formal dances and receptions. These are < made of soft silks, satins and crepes in pastel colors and made up in as many pat- J terns as there are tastes. Laces, pleats, I ruffles, circular flounces, and godettes combine to give a very feminine and charming, effect. Attractive jackets in varied lengths?Eton style, hip length and finger tip?cover blouses of delicate design often combined with lace and the I ^ trousers are full and graceful. An attractive pajama ensemble for formal wear is featured in crepe with a t short ecru lace jacket which has longL flaring sleeves. The trousers from the knees down are of finely pleated lace, j forming a full flounce to the floor. An- t other model has the blouse and trousers t made in rose satin and a black chiffon L jacket. j Variations of the pajama fad for for- | mal wear are the long pantaloons of L lace or ruffles that are being worn un- ] der evening dresses and arc shown to ad- ( vantage when the wearer is sitting down, f For afternoon teas and informal gatherings the jackets are longer and the colors are of brighter hues. Black and j white, and red and black combinations are very popular. A stunning suit uses black crepe for coat and trousers and white crepe back satin for the blouse i which has a cowl neck and a bow of self I material in the center front. Three bands j of white marabou trim the flared sleeves of the coat and the trousers which I are flared at the bottom by a godette on each side. A quilted jacket of silk designed in j geometric figures# of red, black and green ^ completes a costume composed of black j trousers and a red blouse. t For the less formal occasion there is t a piquant little model in a sailor style. \ The wide flared trousers, slightly shorter I on the sides than in the center, are made to a close-fitting yoke and the blouse has ? a big sailor collar and middy sleeves. < Flannel in buff, splashed with green and c orange, is the material p v. s. c. c He was a traveling salesman and he 5 got this wire from his wife: I ^ "Twins arrived tonight.
