Once a novelty, limited to certain environments, pajama costumes cos-tumes are now accepted by the best society In places where you would never dream of them going In tbe conservative days of yore. And now that pajamas bave gained their freedom and are no longer restricted to beach and boudoir, they are "venturing" Into realms of dining and dancing, making mak-ing a gesture toward utmost formality for-mality when occasion demands. Even the stay-at-homes under the guise ot hostess pajamas, are playing play-ing a more or less formal role. Which all goes to show that yon will be right In fashion if you go pajama-clad to afternoon ten or dinner In the evening or, when as hostess, you are doing the honors at home. Of course as a true follower fol-lower of fashion one must be very certain as to which pajamas are which, for there Is as fine a line of distinction drawn between pajamas and pajamas as frocks for sports, for afternoon or for evening wear at various ultra formal affairs. The hostess, for Instance, will be quite proper in a costume with trousers trou-sers that wide they scarce can be distinguished from a flaring skirt It may have a Jacket long or abort, which Is entirely a matter of taste. The material depends upon tbe formality for-mality of the occasion, even unto the point of utmost luxury. Speaking of lovely materials, the hostess pajama costume to the left In the picture Is fashioned of exquisite ex-quisite white panne velvet ; tbe long monogramed scarf shows a turquoise tur-quoise lining, the reverse end hanging hang-ing down the back, giving a high note of color. To the right In tbe picture Mary Astor, a featured radio pictures player, is posing in a hostess pa-Jama pa-Jama costume of an entirely different differ-ent character to that of the companion com-panion model Just described. The trousers and bodice are of red printed crepe, with a coat and tie of tbe crepe In monotone tomato red. CHERIE NICHOLAS, (ffl. 1911, Weetern Newspaper Union.) |
