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.

Idiot's Delight The chorus elrls represent a typical burlesque of beautiful but dumb blondes. Members of 'Les Blondes" troupe are Diane Downing, Marilyn Lehr, Mary Kay Toliver, Nancy Widener, Kathy Grabill and Janet Peter son. Twelve sore feet and numerous blisters are the result of one and one half hours of nightly rehear sals of dance routines. The girls are required to wear high heeled shoes during each rehearsal. A special feature has been aded to the role of the chorus girls. In squeeky chorus girl voices, they sing an original song, "Takin Back Minks," written by Marty Miller, production manager. Diane Downing, in the role of Shirley Laughlin, is the leader of the group. She is the only one of the group that is not the typical chorus girl without brains. Bebe Gould, played by Mar ilyn Lehr. is a shimmy artist In her shimmy dances. Bebe is noted for her extravagant use of detachable gardenias. Mary Kay Toliver. as Buelah Treymone, the bubble dancer, is the most scatter brained girl 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. The chorus line is completed with Kathy Grabill as Elaine Meisenger and Janet Peterson playing Edna Cresh. I
