If you want to make your glasses in

to blend in with your skin tones. Lenses
in a natural flesh tint are light

If you want to make slender face
look fuller. wear lenses in oblong ovals,
a low bridge piece and low temples.
Where the nose is correspondingly
long, a low. straight bridge helps to
reduce length. Glasses set low on a
wide bridge aid in concealing a bulge
on the nose. Lenses can be shaped and
fitted to conceal puffiness, age lines or
dark circles around the eyes.
To add a smart, nonchalant touch

During the week ended January
18 member bank reserve balances in
creased $l74,000,00O. Additions to
