Outline of Monocle in Lady’s Veil Makes Latest Fashion
Veils having heavily rimmed peepholes at one eye are being offered as one of the latest fads for women. It produces the effect of wearing a monocle.
This is why I don’t get my fashion news from science magazines. “You know what would complete my outfit? A big dark circle around my left eye.”

They also tried the reading glasses veil, but that didn’t last into the next season because it is true ‘that men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses’.
