"EYES RIGHT."

" Oh, I wouldn't wear glasses," is a remark often inado by peoplo of nil ages, but in these days of catering for all, eyeglasses, as well as clothes, can be made to suit tho individual.

As a m;ittcr of fact, many peoplo arc vastly improved by tho addition of spectacles, especially the light, horn-ritnniod variety. It seems to add a touch of distinction to Komo faces.

The majority of peoplo require _ cyoglasses lor closo work, such as continual study of books or fino needlework. Many of tho severe headaches peoplo suffer from emanate from eye-strtiin and aro caused by super-vanity in being loth to wear these great aids to tho_ sight. Tliero is so much going on these days that tho eyes aro continually being exercised. Especially is that true of tho cinema, and while one may not require glasses to sco the pictures—they may, in fact, be a hindrance there —tho eyes aro focussed in ono direction so long that tho sight lieeds to bo magnified or reduced on other occasions, in order to rest tlio nerves. Therefore, if it bo a question, on tlio one hand, of self-consciousness about one's appearance,, or, on the other, every possible precaution against tho slightest damago to tho sight, the answer should bo, " Wear glasses."
