COLOUR IN GLASSES

RIMS TO MATCH FROCKS

The craze for colour, which has invaded every phase of modern life, has now reached our eye-glasses, states a writer in an exchange. Once it was considered very "sporting" to boast a pair of large hornrimmed spectacles, but that day . has long since passed, and we are used now to seeing all kinds of variations in the dull rims. A new and startling version of the old rimmed glasses, however, has. now come on the market . These comprise vivid lipstick red rims, bright grass-green, clear flag blue, mist grey, and all the pastel shades.' Designed primarily for sports wear, the pasted-shaded rims which exploit such»soft colours as primrose yellow, lavender, salmon pink, lilac, and grey, make quite important acces-sories-to afternoon frocks. No. ' longer will we surreptitiously produce an eye-glass case to don our glasses while we do^the mending, but we will flaunt, instead, our gay glasses, and feel very happy about it, for we can disguise the fact that our sight is not all it was, under the impression that we must keep abreast of • the times and have our colourful accessories.-
