GLAMOUR EYES

By "Yuki"

"Men Haver maka passes at girls who wear glasses”....... But what about girls wlio wear pretty glasscar

When Dorothy Parker first quipped hor famous couplet, she didn't take into account that 20th century developments would completely destroy its chance for posterity.........

Nowadays, most girls have been sensible enough to realise that a pair of glasses, spectacles, or what-you-will can be as beautifying as a a bran'new spring hat, and just as eyecatch- ̈ ing. And for those who haven't some advice.

The next step is to go along to your optician with your optome trist's or your doctor's prescrip thon, and ask him to make the most your glassen for you. He will advise you as to shape, style and colour but the Anal choice is up

to you.

Find out what suits you

You'll find yourself confronted with more styles and designs than ever before, so don't panic and Just choose the biggest and brigh- lest pair you can soe.

Sit down and consider each carefully; go over them with a Ana touthcomb (or an eyeglass would probably be more appro- priate) and listen faithfully to the advice of the optician. He's specially trained in the business, after all, and although you'd hate to admit it, he can probably ana- lyse your face and its features in a flash-and more accurately than you would have done yourself after an hour in front of the mirror.

Here are somo basic rules to have in mind before you enter tlie optician's front door.

And now personality you, YOU, YOU. If you're quiet and timid you're not going to feel very comfy in a pair glasses that are arch and coquettish. You can be as modern as you like, but with a modified version, please (completely oval or round shapes are forbidden-they're right out of date!).

If you are young, gay and pretty then you can afford to lot your head go as regards shaping

because you can wear the firs tiest pair of spectacles ever seen with all the confidence in the world.
