is the way the monocle is superceding
the lorgnette or the shell trimmed

women. and SO adept are its votaries

their glasses into the surf at Nara

who do not wear glasses all the time.
Some ladies', who do not succeed in
keeping the monocle in place, wear
one on a ribbon the exact color of the
rim and in general harmony with
their complexion and hirSute adorn
menrs. Mrs. Raymond Baker has
been wearing a monocle suspended by

looks quite fetching.
