Beware, men!
The Parisian characters who are
determined to make neurotics of
the entire male population have
created contact lenses with which
the girls can change the color of
their eyes to match their costumes.
You’re liable to get your face
slapped for admiring your wife’s
big blue eyes . . . the evening she’s
wearing the green ones to match
her new gown.
Little girls may develop unheard
of complexes resulting from eye
color indecision. Their birth certi
ficates will list color of eyes as
brown, but their parents may switch
to blue when the little dears are a
few years old. Think of the trouble
1 they’ll have getting driver’s and
marriage licenses.
Your gal will look mighty sym
metrical when she wears a green
and brown striped blouse, with an
eye to complement each shade.
It might even reach the point
where Mabel will describe her new
spring outfit to Mary Jane thusly:
“I got a beautiful red suit with
a w'hite blouse and navy shoes, hat
and bag. But, I just don’t know
whether to get blue or white eyes
to go with it”
As usual, the male will be so
cially handicapped by the new
fashion trend. For, after a big
night out on the town, milady will
be able to recapture her glamour
merely by a switch in lenses.
Her hung-over escort on the
other hand, must face the morning
after-world with the same old blood
shot red eyes.
How do they get that way de
partment! Ever alert for some
thing with which to dazzle unsus
pecting male eyes, New York «ils
have taken to wearing jetreTery
backwards. In one week, I’ve seen
a diamond clip decorating a plung
ing neckline ... in BACK; a huge
silver star just below the neckline
on the rear of a coat and a black
ribbon with jeweled ends down a
young lady’s bare back. It’ll get so
that we won’t be able to tell wheth
er they’re coming or going.

Robert Mayokok
Balks at Paying $25
A Day License Fee
SEATTLE, (/P)—Robert Mayo
kok, the Eskimo artist, contem
plated a $1,500 collection of ivory
in his hotel room today and de
cided he will not pay the city of
Seattle $25 a day for a peddler’s
license.
It is not a matter of principle
with Mayokok. It’s 3 matter of
principal.
“I can’t afford it,” the Eskimo
shrugged. “It costs enough just to
live in Seattle, let alone pay a
license fee.”
Mayokok, 48, came to Seattle
from Nome in hopes of selling
Eskimo ivory pieces, including
fine tooled birds from St. Law
rence Island, dog teams and sleds
from Shishmaref, cribbage boards
and ivory animals from King Is
land and the Pribilof Islands.
He also hoped to sell some of
his own fine etchings of Eskimo
life. The profits he must split
with his backers, the Eskimos in
the villages who did the ivory
carving.
But before Mayokok started his
rounds of Seattle gift shops, he
checked with the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce. He was referred
to the city hall to see about a
license.
“One dollar for a business li
cense, and that is all right,” he
said. “Then they look in a book
and decide I must pay $25 a day
for a peddler’s license. That is all
right, too—but I can’t afford it.”
Mayokok plans to remain in
Seattle about a week. Then, if
business doesn’t brighten up, he's
goings back home on an Alaska
Line ship.
A good way to widen out the
straight and narrow path would
be for more people to walk on it.
