PAJAMAS FOR NIGHTIES. '
A Young Woman of Observation Protests
Against Them as‘Unfeminlne.
“I declare,” said a young woman of ob-
servation, “this is carrying things a trifle
too far. Here is a circular which I have
just received from one of our first trade
houses saying that pajamas are to be the
fashionable night dress for ladies. Are
they? Well, they’ll never be the fashion-
able night dress for this one, at all events
-—the ungraceful, unwomauly things.
Here are illustrations, too, Isee, how we
will look in our Japanese nighties. They
are to be of silk, of all shades and quali-
ties, and they are to be made distinctly
feminine by the addition of a row of lace
at- the 60p and aruflie round the bottom,
which can be drawn in with a gathering
string. Charming, I must say.
“Why, they’ re just Japanese bloomers;
that’s all they are. N 0, I’ll tell you what
they are. You fellows have taken to
wearing these pajama things. and we
women have got to follow the masculine
craze, like so many sheep as we are. N ow
mark me, you’ll hear heaps of stuff about
‘sanitary dress’ ‘ultimate modesty of at-
tire’ and all that fol de rol. But it’s only
fol de rol all the same, and it’s just sung
to cover up our determined efforts to ape
the inen. Popular prejudice has effect-
ually barred women—for the time, at
least—from wearing ‘pants’ in the open,
but women are bound to get there some-
how, and now we are going to wear them
nights.
“As-we say up at the club meetings, ‘I
hope themotion will not prevail,’ and if
it does, I nope the laws will be so amend-
ed as to make the Wearing of pajamas by
married women good and sufficient
ground for divorce.”

“My dear,” said Mrs. Bloobumbcr to
her husband, “I really need a new street
gown. I am ashamed to go out any more
with the only one I have.”
“Very well,” replied Mr. Bloobumbcr.
“Get yourself a street gown.”
“By good rights I ought to have u bon-
net, too: I haven’t had a new one for
three months and it’s getting real shab-
by, to say nothing of it being utterly un-
suited to the weather.” ‘
“Get a bonnet, too, darling.”
“Then Annie needs a few more things.
She can’t possibly put off getting a. new
dress and a new hat any lonlrcr. A young
lady of her age is absolutely required to
dress well. You know that yourself,
Harry.”
“It is true dear! Get whatever is neces-
sary and proper for Annie, and make her
look as sweet as a peach.”
“Baby Bess will have to have some
new dresses, Harry. It is wonderful what
a lot of clothes 11 little girl of eight re.
quires. You wouldn’t believe it if you
didn’t have to provide them and keep
them looking at least semi-respects:

“That is true, little wifcy. Baby Bess
deserves all the nice clothes she gets, and
it is quite right f01 you to take a proper
pride in dressing '0 our daughter neat

“Then, Harry, dear, you need an entire
new suit yourself, and a. new hat. I don’t
think you can have noticed how shiny
your coat is in the back, while your
trowsers have commenced to fray a little
at the ends as well as bag at the knees.
\Vou’t you get a new suit, love?”
“I don’t know about an entire suit,
dear, buthas thinking that after you
and Annie and Baby Bess were provided
for, I’d get myself 1'. three dollar pair of
pants if I have that much money left.”—

tum 111:11'velous oratory, the splendid ap-
po‘nrlng man? Frederick Douglass look-
ed the great man, and nowhere more so
the-.1 when speaking. There was some
thing in his pose, in his bearing, the mar.-
ner of that straight, towering six feet of
humanity which, to my way of thinking,
surpassed all others, and, so far as abili-
ty was concerned, where were one more
worthy to be a Senator of the United
States.
For years, as many wilIiremember, Mr.
Douglass was in great demand on the
lecture platform; and when I lived in an
Illinois town he lectured one evening—
following Gen. Howard in the course—at
a town about a mile distant. He was
stopping at a hotel, and as he was a
friend of my grandfather, at whose house
Ihad met him, I called to pay my re-
spects. I was shown to his room, where
I found him sitting in a rocking chair
mending the fire with a large pair of
tongs. He seemed very distant, if not
surly at first, merely bowing and not in
the slightest relaxing his (Euros with the
tongs. But on my 111e:111.1..1.1g the name
of my grandfather, and informing him
that I was that tremendously important
personage—the village minister, and on
his apparently sensing the idea. that I
hadn’t called out of curiosity, but really
to pay my respects, his manner changed
at once and entirely.
He laid down the tongs, rose from his
chair, and walking toward me, offered
his hand, saying: “Pardon me, sir; lam
very glad to see you. I thought—pray
be seated”——with which he handed me a.
chair, 1escating himself in his rocking
chair, laid his head back and began talk-
ing. After a short time the proprietor
entered the room and informed Mr.
Douglass that tea was ready.
“Thank you.” he replied, “I will take
tea later”——:111d when the landlord had
departed he said:
“I have been annoyed so many times
at public tables that I never venture if I
can avoid it.” Expressing some surprise
at this, he said: “Yes, I have had people
leave the table when I took my seat; and
the many black, scowling looks are quite
as bad.” Recalling his remark that Mr.
Lincoln was the only man who, in the
course of a visit, did not remind him in
some way that he was a colored man, I
held my peace. In about half an hour
the landlord again appeared, and extend-
ing me an invitation, I went down with
Mr. Douglass and had the pleasure of
taking supper with him.
His lecture that evening was 011 “The
Evils That Beset the Republic,” and dur-
ing the first part of it he read largely
from his manuscript. He appeared to be
ill at ease, and was,.I observed continual-
ly working at the lapel of his coat with
his left hand. Before long, however, he
turned from the desk and notes, walked
slowly round to the front of the plat-
form, buttoned his coat, gave his mane a
sort of shake, and then for nearly two
hours made that kind of a speech which
but few men in this world have been able
to make.
At its close I went up to him to express
the pleasure I had felt, and I recall that,
as he walked toward me, he had unbut-
toned his coat and put ltth hands in his
vest pockets—expressive apparently of
honest pride and satisfaction at the per-
formance.
When I had finished my edifying re-
marks, he said: “I delivered that lecture
some time ago in Baltimore, and at its
conclusion a pompous young South-
erner came up to me and began what he
was going to say with the remark: ‘Mr.
Douglass, I am the son of a United
States Senator.’ I cut him short,” said
Douglass, “by saying: ‘I have good rea-
son i'or believing that I, too, am the son
ofaUnited States Senator.’ The young
man,” he added, “didn’t say another
word, but looked at me turned and left
the platform.”
How a Dog Became a Teetotaler.
Alady at \Vestgate-on-Sea tells a re-
markable anecdote of a. dog who was
cured of its evil habit of love for liquor.
Some mischievous persons had so often
given to her father’s great dog bits of
bread soaked in beer that Neptune grew
fond of the artificial dainty. One day,
when a large party was returning from a.
picnic, Nep was put on the box seat be- ‘
side the driver of the carriage as he seem-
ed too tired to run home all the way. He
must have drunk some liquor at the
feast, for on the road he fell from the
carriage to the ground. No bones were
broken, though he must have got a,
severe shake and a fright in the fall. The
result was that N ep never once after that
day could be induced to touch bread
soaked with liquor, turning from it with
loathing and contempt, the very smell
of it being repulsive.
a teetotaler.
Economizlng the Time.
“\Ve will wait a few minutes longer,”
said the pastor, “in order to give an op
portunity for those who may wish to
unite with the church to come forward
and do so.”
A solemn hush fell upon the congrega-
tion, but nobody moved.
At last a tall, slender, lantern jawed,
long whiskered man sitting near the door
rose up and said:
“While the young people [in the audi-
ence are making up their minds on this
all important question I should like to
ofiera- few thoughts on the subject of
free coinage.”—Chicago Tribune.
Her Sweet Content.
In the impenetrable darkness she was
alone with her thoughts. The chill of
morning was stealing into her chamber.
“He comes,” she murmured. “My bus-
band comes.”
Tears sprang to her eyes.
“Unfeeling man.”
She hearkened yet again.
“Unfeeling man,” she whispered, as
she distinctly heard him run his face
against the hatrack.
A sense of sweet content possessed her
