INVISIBLE EYEGLASSES.

Invisible eyeglasses, sometimes used
by actors, are not so numerous as the
idea would suggest, according to
theatrical man, and they can only be
had to order and in certain shops.
Richard Mansfield is credited with
having invented them, or at least Of
having first worn them, for roles in
which the eyeglasses would make the
impersonator of the character look
ridiculous. AS a matter of fact, an
actors eyes have to be very far gone
to prevent him from going through
his work without glasses. Invisible
glasses are simply very small and
made to fit In as close to the eye as
possible The eve lashes touch them
so constantly as to make them re-
quire cleaning after every act. The
nose piece and clamps which hold them
on are also as small as possible, and
sometimes flesh colored. Even at that
they are not really invisible, because
when the light strikes them at a cer-
tain angle they are sure to give off a
reflection which reveals them.

replied Macintosh, virtuously. well,
