WOMEN OF PARIS ARE 'SET TO WEARING SPECTACLES'
Paris, France (JFK+50) On October 16, 1925, Associated Press reports that while the eyesight of the female population of Paris, "the city of fashion," is not better or worse than last year, the women have become "set to wearing spectacles."
Why?
Because "the celluloid frames," available in a variety of colors, "are novel and chic" when matched up with their dresses.
The spectacles come in mauve, green, beige, blue, and almost any other color.
One Paris optician, an American, says he sells about a hundred pairs every day.
