Can men see better than women?

There was a time that women rarely wore glasses. Did it mean that they could sao better? Or did it mean that for eleganco soka - many women were content to see less?

Glasses have become so elegant now that you can expact every woman to see well and perhaps avon better than men. In any case, they see moral They see from your face whether you are a mo- dern man. It's your skin that reveals it! A healthy, smooth, supplo, undamaged skin proves beyond any doubt that you shove with the Philips "Phili- shave".

CHRISTMAS IN GROWN-UP MANHATTAN

If Comrade Gold Teeth

could see Mink Mile...

Now

JOW the city blazes with Christmas decorations, and I suppose there must be more mink to the mile than anywhere else on earth, more diamonds for sale on Fifth Avenue than in all the world's cities.

I wish my Russian interpreter, Miss Goldteeth, had been able to keep her promise and come here for Christmas. It would have made her Com- munist heart ache.

п

I wish the dear old soul on the 21st floor of the Ukraina Hotel in Moscow, who took care of me like mother, were here to ride down Park Avenue past the dazzling new towers of big business, past the Waldorf and the Delmonico, past the motor-car showrooms, and then out to Madison and Fifth and see the riches and the luxury of New York.

I have just been reading the Russian official version of the Khrushchev visit to the United States. Some of it is true, but much is half-truth. I should know I was there for all 8,000 miles of it. This is not "a monster without a soul," not "The City of the Yellow

Devil.”

This is the capital of the spectacular, the stupendous town, Miss Goldteeth would be very welcome. The best thing about this Christmas (it started about a month ago) is that it has taken the public's mind, at least temporarily, off the Meat Scandal, the Milk Scandal, the

one, just now, cares very much..

Not a single winner in the TV shows, from Charles van Doren down, has returned as much as a dime or a sixpence from his winnings. Only some disc jockeys have turned in their resignations. They have either spent the loot or are hanging on to what's left of it.

As I walk down the avenue past St Patrick's Cathedral, past the Radio City Music-Hall, and hear the carols piped into the streets. I cross my fingers and hope that We have heard the last of payola. It would be the bitterest blow of all to find that choirmas- ters and soloists were being given the old payola to plug Good King Wen- cestus or While Shepherdla Watched.

But it would not surprise me at all. The years have made me cynical. There
