UNUSUAL PROBLEM?

Since she gets plenty of sleep, I
thought perhaps she needed glasses.
I took her to an eye specialist who,
after a thorough examination, said
she had fair" eyesight, not perfect
by any means, yet not so poor as to
warrant his giving her glasses, al
though he said glasses wouldn't
hurt her eyes at all, neither would
they help enough for the trouble OF
prescribing and wearing them.
Well, here's the problem. She
wants glasses. Keeps telling me
that all the girls are wearing them
now" (and it does seem so some
tines. I can't quite understand it
When I was young a girl wouldn't
be seen dead wearing spectacles
Now my daughter leases for them
She is continually trying on hel
friends glasses, showing me how
they look.
What do you readers think? Tht
doctor will, if want, give her pre-
scription for what he says won
be much stronger than window
panes! I'd like to hear what some
one else says about it. No one t.
whom I've spoken has had such
problem. I might mention that ex'
pense isn't question here.
