Single column article, excerpted from the 'Dioptric News', drawing attention to the Daily Telegraph's coverage of an ornamental and useful dress clip lorgnette with marcasite decoration. The article also mentions a fashion show held by Simon Massey in which the models wore spectacles 'which completely gave the lie to Dorothy Parker'. Mounted on page 16 of a scrapbook.
