Sophisticates Devils Scholars May
Emphasize Personalities By Glasses
By MART SUE LUNDT
Staff Writer.
Do you prefer to look sophisti
cated, devilish, or scholarly? All
these airs may be easily acquired
by donning a different pair of
glasses. You ask for an explana
tion? Well, here it is.
Any tlrl who yearns for that
sophisticated air and can afford
a new pair of glasses should
boy herself a bejewelled or at
least gold encrusted set of
frames. Possibilities in the
choice of colors are unlimited
gold, gray, red, black, laven
der, pink, navy and any other
color you might name.
The devilish female who wishes
to accent her personality could
easily do so by appearing in
'pixie" frames, the kind with the
slanting corners. In addition to
the various color possibilities,
there are numerous plaids, checks
and prints to choose from. It
might even be possible to have
your "specs" match your new
plaid blouse.
Future Phi Beta Kappas may
go for the sorn-rimmed type of
eyeswear. These horn-rimmed
models appear in every shape
and size (beau-friend may have
a pair just like yours) and for
variation you may have the top
and bow dark and the part be
low the lens natural-colored
plastic. This model may also be
obtained in red, green, blue or
bat else have you?
Especially for the girl who is
unsatisfied with wearing the
same glasses day after day, a spe
cial 'chameleon" frame has been
devised. This frame has little hol
low places along the bow and
above the lens where small strips
cf colored plastic, which come in
the set, may be inserted. Chang
ing the color of your glasses
frames to match your sweater or
skirt is now just a matter of hav
ing the right piece of plastic.
Fellas are always so conserv
ative. So far the greatest change
in their eyewear has been
toward horn-rimmed frames
with the majority sticking to
natural plastic
In connection with colors and
such, here's a little tip to the
maiden who can never find the
color of frame she wants. With
the aid of some natural nail pol
ish and a little vegetable coloring,
she may paint her natural-colored
frames any bright or pastel color
she wants.
By the way in case you don't
have any idea what you want for
Christmas, why not teE Santa that
you think some green and white
polka dotted glasses would be just
the thing to wear with the green
and white polka dot socks you
just finished for yourself.

sing an original song, "Takin
Back Minks," written by Marty
Miller, production manager.

of the group that is not the typical
chorus girl without brains.

of detachable gardenias.
Mary Kay Toliver. as Buelah
Treymone, the bubble dancer,

in the group. When Buelah en
ters the scene, confusion also
enters the scene.
The torch singer of "Les
Blondes" is Nancy Widener in the
role of Francine Merrill. Francine.
who has gained the reputation of
"La Flame," is also the pianist.
