PYJAMA PARTIES

'''You are invited to a pyjama party on Saturday night. Disrobing b'.gins after dinner. Theio will be fox-trots, waltzes, and tbo tango. A jazz band will ba in attendance.''

These are the terms of the invitations that are being seat out by the wealthy smart set of Paris, who, after lengthy consideration, concluded it was the nicest appropriate way to celebrate peace. The pyjama dance was hit upon as the gayest and most novel. Sine* July 14 several such daacos have been given, tho first by Gaby De=lya, former friend of former King Manuel of Portugal. The host at the second l was Jacques Fournier, cotiilpn leader. Another was given by the young Countess De Remy Maximo Paulette. One of the young Mm at princes arranged still another of the unconventional affaire. Clubmen, wealthy and aristocratic youth, frequenters, celebrities among the painters, sculp.ors, and writers, and actresses have caught up the craze. The newspapers are beginning to print the details of the pyjamas worn bv the guests in the fashion notes. Gaby tles-lys was described as wearing a pair of black tdk pyjamas, embroidered with hearts stitched in red and god in various places. The Prince of Murat came in a pink sleeping suit, remarkable for its gold and silver fr.mmittgs. An artist wore a suit with cupids painted on it. One piquant actress, Ml.e XJtariz, had a row of opium pipes paiated upou her pyjamas. While there are some protests against the lat&st fashion, the idsa is not condemned ao much, as the inclination towaid extreme dscolletee, which has crept inta the styles.
