NEW YORK. Aug. 1i-Glasses
need not be an unsurmountable
hindrance to beauty. Accept them
n their face value. and pick your
hats. necklines, jewels and other
ornaments with direct relation to
them.
BY experimenting with this type
Of hat or that, you will learn Just
what is most becoming and what
is distinctly out, 50 long as you
wear glasses.
First. the lens must be perfect
for your vision. This is a matter
Of professional fitting. Second,
select the frames as carefully as
YOU would a pair Of earrings,
necklace or any other accessory,
with view 10 their flattering you.
Third, never buy a hat or jewels
without considering them with re-
lation to your glasses.
Rim Shade Important
So far as frames are concerned,
shell long has been prominent for
eve glasses because Of its durability
and its comfort in hot weather.
But choose the right shade.
A consensus Of stylistS determined
that an amber shade, modelled to
blend with flesh tones, is becoming
70 the average person.
For general style directions, the

or close handwork of any kind, COM
Portable, light weight spectacles in
shell or metal; for street wear,
shopping, the theater or wear with
evening clothes, oxfords or
lorgnettes.
Children should have frames of
rigid construction, either shell or
metal.
The newest glasses have the pink
gold. rather than the white gold,
because it tones in with the skin.
Oxford Type Attractive
A convenient new oxford type has
a shell frame with a pink gold
bridge across the nose which leaves
no impression whatsoever upon the
nose. being held in place by two
short. straight temple pieces that
extend only to the ears, not over
them.
This oxford folds up like lorg-
nettes, and can be worn or carried
easily.
For evening. lorgnettes and nose
glasses are growing intricate and
lovely. At a recent wedding the
brides mother wore a pair of eye
glasses with the nose piece and
frames of engraved platinum. set
in diamonds and sapphires to match
her silver-gray hair and blue eyes
and making an ensemble of her sap
phire necklace and ring and glasses.
This autumn's hats apparently had
in mind the woman who wears
glasses. The long sides. draped
styles and off-the- forehead mode fit
well with the lines and contours of
glasses.
Avoid Small Hat
But, watch out for the extremely
small hat, the too-tight turban, and
the beret on the back of the head
they all accent glasses unbecom-
ingly. A close fitting mushroom,
also. should be Stunned, because
it casts a shadow over the glasses.
A very wide-brimmed hat, worn
pulled down. makes the eyes and
glasses lose their proportions in an
amazing manner and therefore is
bad.
But for soft grace and beauty, the
draped. fabric hats, those with the
new double brims. made of trans
parent or silk velvet. are tremen-
douSly successful and flattering.
Be careful Of hat ornaments. If
made Of cleaning rhinestone or
crystal and worn near the face, you
get double reflection from your
glasses, which utterly ruins your
personality.
Jewels Are Important
The Jewels you wear with your
glasses are very important, too.
Avoid earrings; your glasses con-
flict with most Of them and you
lose distinction.
The long, pendant kind are best.
II you yearn for them. Heavy, long,
necklaces and those with many
strands usually are not so effective
as simple ones.
Never wear crystal or other clear
glitter. if you can help it. If you
can't keep from buying it. have it
of the frosted variety. The plain
crystal necklace is worse than hat
ornaments for double reflections.
Amber and plastic composition and
all the colored translucent jewelry
is available. You must try 1t to
know which is good and which is
