WOMEN IN SCIENCE. POSTS UP TO £20,000 A YEAR. "There is an opening for a large number of educated women in scientific work," said a woman scientist to a Daily Mail representative. "Women have distinguished themselves in science for the last 50 years, but only lately have they entered on that kind of work in large numbers. They are conscientious and painstakingThe best women workers are equal to the best men, with this exception: the great geniuses have so far been almost entirely men. "The prejudice against women enter-1 ing the professions is now almost broken down, but barriers still exist. For example, it is seldom a woman gets more than £SOO a year; the posts with higher pay are reserved for men. It is not so in the medical profession, where women may earn up to £20,000 a year; in that career they are in every way the equals of men. "Another point is that lectureships in the universities are only just being opened to women, even where students of both sexes are being educated. "A girl who is attracted to science as an occupation should shape her school studies in that direction. If she has the genius for research work it is discovered before she reaches the age of 22."
THE LATEST PARISIAN FAD. "You are invited to a pyjama party. Disrobing begins after dinner. There willj be fox trots, waltzes, and the tangos. A jazz band will be in attendance."

Since July 14 several such dances have been given, the first by Gaby Deslys, rormer friend of former King Manuel of Portugal. The host at the second was Jacques Fournier, cotillon leader. Another was given by the young Countess de Eemby Maximo Paillette. One of the young Murat princes arranged still another of the unconventional affairs Clubmen, wealthy and aristocratic youth, race-track frequenters, celebrities nmong the painters, sculptors and writers and actresses have caught up the craze The newspapers are beginning to print the details of the pyjamas worn! by the guests in the fashion notesj Gaby Deslys was described as wearing a pair of black silk pyjamas embroidered with hearts stitched in red and goM in various places. The Prince of Mui'at came in a pink sleeping suit remarkable for its gold and silver trimmings. An artist wore a iuit with cupids painted on '- it. One piquant actress, Mile. Mariz, had a row of opium pipes painted upon her pyjamas. While there arc sor\e protests against the latest fashion, tte iden is not condemned so much as the inclination toward extreme decollete, wli.'ch has crept into the styles.
