Summary

Pathe synopsis: "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses" is finally proved untrue by couturier Ronald Patterson. Demonstrated by glamorous mannequins are some of the unusual frames which are designed as fashion accessosries. For motoring or for beach wear are bamboo frames; for town wear with leather trimmed bag are frames with leather and canvas side pieces. As pretty a sight as we have ever seen through our old-fashioned horn-rims.
