TENTH INSTALMENT
SYNOPSIS -
When the wealthy faster par-
ents of 'Marjorie Wetherill both
die she finds a letter telling that
sae bas a twin sister, that she
was adopted when her own par -
cute couldn't afford - to support
both of them and that her real
name "is Dorothy Gay. Alone in
the world, but with a fortune of
her own, she considers looking up
her own family whom she has nev-
er seen. A n!eighbor, Evan Bow-
er, tries to argue her out of it and
tells her he loves her and asks
her to marry him. She promises
to think it over but decides first
to see her family. She gees to
their address, finds that they are
destitute and gradually persuades
them to accept things they need.
When the doctor calls to see her
mother she notices that he seems
particularly interested in her she
ter. Marjorie goes to Church in
Brentwood, where her family used
to live, and becomes very 'much
interested, in the young minister
there. She then sees the nice
home there that her family had
owned and determines to buy it
back for them. She. consults a
lawyer and makes plans to pur-
chase it in order to give it to her
lather as a Christmas present.
"Well, I should say not!" saki Bet -
with a catdh in the last word like.

Suddenly a flood of thappineds roll -
d into Marjorie's heart. This was
er Home, where she belonged! They
red her!
Mr. Gay Came ina Little after six,
king weary but with a strange
w content upon him, a new self-
spect. Marjorie, looking at the
ght in' his eyes, realized. what a
rd thing it must be for him that
e could earn nothing to support his
redly, and wished with all her heart
hat something might come of her
equest to the lawyer about a p051 -
on for him.
It was not until the second day
ter that Mr. Bryant Sent Mar-
rie word that he had the papers
eady for her. So Marjorie, amid, a
owl from the children, started off
early in the morning again.
To Marjorie the day was full of
xcitement. It was so good to know
hat matter of the house was
ding through all right and that
afternoon the deed which she might
o ap in grandest Christmas wrap-
ings for tier father and mother.
Mr. Bryant told her that Mr. Mel-
urno had told him about her
atiber, and he had . been looking up
several good openings that might
terialize after Christmas. He
idn't tell her that he had been
missioned to look up Mr. Gay's
record and had found it absolutely

"Do you suppose it would be pos-
ible if there were an opening, that
t could come as an offer from some-
eere, and not have him know that
asked about it?" she asked, the
awyer shyly. "I think he would feel
etter about it that way."
And he seemed to understand for
e smiled and suid:
"I ethould think that might be ar-
nged."
So she went on her 'way to cone
lete her shopping in a very happy
frame of mind.
And then, right in the midst of
the last few purchases whom should
he come square upon but the young
Mister from Brentwood, Gideon
Reaver!
"Oh!" she said, a quick color fly-
ing into her cheeks, "I didn't expect
to recognize anybody in this big
strange city."
He seemed as pleased as, she was.
He paused and talked to her a 'min-
ute, told her how much he thought. of
Ted, and what a fine fellow be was
going to be, and then he hesitated and
looked down at her wistfully.

People who Write an illegible hand
must sometimes suffer themselves to
te misunderstood, not infrequently
with amusing resells. .Such an ' ex-
irarience once came to Dr. T. M. Buck-
ley, the eminent clergyman, when to
the Press he sent a notice of the sitib-
ject 'of his Sabbath discourse, "Oats
and Wild Oath"
The editor of one of the religions
weektieto really did himself proud in
denipheting the good minister's hand-
writing. Imagine Dr. Baekley's

SO she relaied and • enjoyed her
lunch, and' the pleasant talk that went
on with it.
"I have been wanting to ask you
something," sihe said at last as the
dessert was 'placed before 'them and
,the waitress hurried away -Wain.
"Perhaps this Isn't the place to talk
about such thiogr but I would so
like to know something."

any way can" he said.
"Well; then would you tell ine
please, how can you tell whether
you're saved or Dot? I'm a church
member of course. But is there a
way to be sure one is saved?"
"There surely do!" said Gideon his
eyes lighting eagerly.
She met his gaze earnestly.
"Sunday in your, sermon you talk-
ed a lot about the new birth, and 1
don't understand it, at all. I've al-
ways been taught that if I was good
would go to Heaven when I die."
"So was I," said Gideon smiling,
"but that is not true."
Marjorie gave him a startled look.
"No, because tihe law must be
kept perfectly , to be a means, of
salvation', and no one but Christ
ever has or ever could- be perfectly
good, so it would, be hopeless for us
if that were the only way to
Heaven. But thank God it isn't.
We have His own word for it! Do
you believe the Bible?"
"Oh, yes, of course. I
so very much about tt
but yea, I believe it." s
"Do you believe its gospel: that
Jesus was nailed to a cross for you,
taking all the penalty of your sins
by enduring God's righteous judgment
upon them?"
"Yes, of course, I believe that."'
"Well, do you believe that be-
cause He did that God raised Him
from the dead and exalted Him in
the highest heavens?"
"Yes, indeed, I believe
though I never heard it
just that way before."
"You believe, then, that Jesus is
the Christ., the Son of God?"
"Why, certainly."
"Well, then listen
says."
He took a small testament out of
his pocket and opened to John 5:1.
"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is
the Christ is born of God."
• The astonishment on her face
changed into illumination as she
took in the wonderful truth:
"Then I am saved!" she exclaimed,
her eyes softening with the wonder
of it.
"Yes, it fiG as simple as that,"
said Gideon his t eyes drinking
her eagerness.
Marjorie looked up, her eyes filled
with wonder.
Suddenly Gideon glanced at his
watch, and looked startled.
"Excuse me,", he' said, "I have a
wedding in half an hour and I've
barely time to make it. I didn't
realise how the time was going. May
I talk with you again sometime about
this?"
"Oh, I should love to have you,"
said Marjorie. "I know almost noth-
ing about the Bible!"
"You'll have to begin to atudy it
now." He smiled as he turned to the
waitress to get the check. "I'd love
to help if I may. I have a little book
that may 'help at the start. I1I send
it over to you. Good-bye, I wish I
didn't have to rush away. You've giv-
en me a wonderfully pleasant hour."
"Oh, and you've shown me an in-
heritance I didn't dream before that
I had!" said Marjorie with shining
errs.
As she took her way home an
hour later sire reflected how utterly
changed was [her life just in a short
week's time.
The doctor was there When she
reached the house. He was standing
in the living room talking to Betty,
telling her about a certain Christmas
in his ohildlhood when he had) been
alone among strangers, desolate and
forlorn.
Betty stood, in the doorway listen-
ing sympathetically to the story, and
Marjorie thought she saw a 'wistful

"Why, I'd love to!" said Marjorie,
with a sudden unreasoning feeling of
having been crowned. She followed
tiuim thorough the Chrietrnasi throngs to
a table in a corner where there was
comparative quiet.
Marjorie, of course, bad often been
out to luneli 'With her young men

rare experience of a life -time. How

He made hie plans to' stip away

ter the old-fashioned midday dinner
and take a plane to the city where
Marjorie was st,aying. He would ar-
retro in Neve*, Of time to take her out
for a late dinner and the eventing
somewhere. He did notilet her know
of his coming. It was better to take
her by surprise.
The Gays, meanwhile, had been
having a wonderful time getting
ready for Christmas.
It was the next morning about ten
,o'clock while they were just in the
most interesting part of opening the
presents that the doorbell rang and
an enormous box arrived from one of
the city florists.
"Miss Marjorie Wethertill," the driv-
er announced. "Sign on the top
line!"
Marjorie looked up and smiled.
For me? How ridiculous! ,How in
the world dict anybody find out where
I was?
So Marjorie, laughing, opened the
box and disolosed the wonderful orch-
ids.
The card which lay on the top
fell to the floor and Bud picked it up
and read it aloud before anybody
noticed to stop him.
"Christmas Greetings for Marjorie
from Evan Brower."
Somehow Marjorie felt the eyes of
the family upon her in question,
though they hadn't taent„ she should,
and the, color crept up into her fair
cheeks. But she laughed.
"Oh, he's just an old friend ef the
Wetherill family," sive said casually.
"They're orchids, aren't they?" said
''red; almost accusingly, Marjorie
thought. "They're about the most ex-
pensive flower there is, aren't they?"
"Why, I don't know about the
expensive part. Yes, I guess they
are' considered rather rare. We'll
give them to Mother, shall we? I'd
like to have her have them. Now,
let's forget them and go back -to
our stockings."
It is safe to say that Marjorie had
never had such a happy Christmas in
her life. The thrill of giving had nev-
er been he-ra before.
The last present was a long en-
velope done up in a fascinating box
with a great seal and long red rib-
bons hanging from, the package.
"Ho Mr. George Gay with many
wishes for a Happy Christmas that
shall last all the year," read Ted as
he handed it out with a flourish.
Ted was as much in the dark about
it as any of them, far Marjorie had
decided not to tell anyone her se-
cret.
'But they had to wait spree time,
before the legal docuratnt finally
came to tight, and then tere was a

When it finally dawned upon them
all that the dear lost home was
theirs again, there was first an awful
stillness, followed by the biggest
tumult of shouting and hurrahing
the Gay household had ever known.
Father noticed that Mother was cry-
ing softly. Smiling and crying like

lenses originated, 50,000 persons wear
them for any one of these many rea-
sons'.
But there are disadvantages, to
which make it. unlikely that contact
lenses will ever abolish • or even no-
ticeably- diminish the use of conven-
tional spectacles. Unless you have a
strong reason, for needing anntact
lenses your eye specialist is likely to
discourage you from adopting them.
They are expensive, costing from $75
to $11)0 the pair, plus the specialist's
fee for fitting. Furth,errnore, many
persons find them uncomfortable;
they feel an actual sense of "some-
thing, in the eye." The "nervoos"
person, likely to complain of the fit of
shoes or, false teeth, never gets used
to them. Persons with tight eyelids
or hay fever cannot wear them at all.
Quest ionnai re replies from eyesight
specialists in the United States show-
ed that 80 per cent. of their patients
who wear contact leases to correct
unusual eye conditions are perfectly
satisfied, But of those who wear
them for occupational or "cosmetic"
reasons, one fourth to one half con-
fes,s they are not completely comfort-
able with them. One patient wore
contact glasses 16 hours a day for
nearly five years without 'any bad ef-
fects. Wearers have kept them in
for 36 hours at a stretch, but eye
doctors recommend taking them out
every four hours or so for a rest per-
iod, When one first adopts them, they
are worn for only a few minutes at
a time, the period gradually being
lengthened as the wearer becomes ac-
customed to thera.
Contact lenses are as safe as glass-
es. With thousands of them in use,
only one case of breakage has been
reported --and that did not damage
the eye. The glass of a contact lens
is tough and its firm contact with
the elastic eyeball gives it little
chance to shelter. One contact lens
wearer received in a motor accident
a savage cut across the eyelid. A nak-
ed or bespectacled eye would have
been badly slashed. The contact lens
took the blow undamaged and saved
the eye. Even outside the eye, these
tiny gadgets are hard to break. Care-
less handling may snap them., but un-
less they bit at just the right angle,
they will bounce harralesely when
dropped on a same floor.
(Condensed from I4ygeia in Reader's
Digest)
Six thousand Americana today are
wearing "invisible spectacles." The
starry eyes of a dozen favorite mOvie:
stars' -of both sexes- are triumphs of
the laboratory. An,d numerpus ships'
Officers, singers, fashion models, at
least one trig -league ball player, go
about their daily affairs without any-
one guessing that they are peering
through lenses.
They wear, attached by suction to
the. eyeball itself, a paper -thin shell
of glass or bakelite, its center a tiny
lens made to optical presoripticm.
These "contact lensea" move with the
eye; a foot away they are invisible.
Me advantages of these lenses to
actors, lecturers and others who must
look their best before the public are
obvious. Persians afflicted with cer-
tain eye diseases, notably kerwtocon-
us, in which the cornea becomes soft-
tened and deformed, find that contact
lenses are the beat aid to vision they
can get. There are other reasons
which account for their growing pop-
ularity: unlike spectacles, they can-
not be knocked off: they do not get
misty in rata. Professional athletes
of course, find:, spectacles a great
handicap and are turning to contact
leneee. Ships' offfcers and ya,chts-
men have found they oh -elate trouble
with spray. In industry special con-
tact leneee serve more conveniently
than sheaVy gogglee to protect eyes
against chemical fumes or intense
light; t Geratany, where the contact
eyeball, and there is a slight suction
which holds the glass so securely in
place that only the firm pull of the
suction tube will get it off again.
The theory of invisible eye -glasses
was first expounded by Herschel, the
English physicist, in 1827. Little was
done wfth the idea until the late
1880s, when the Zeiss factory in Jena
experimenting with, the construction
of a thin, accurately ground glass
bowl with a spherical surface, which
could be placed directly on the eye.
To -day Zeiss leases are ground to pre-
scription as accurately as- any spec-
tacle lens.
Somewhat lateg a skillful German
glass blower named Muller dhveloped
the blOwn-glass contact lens. These
blown lenses, still widely used, are
not as accurate as ground lenses, but
are often more comfortable. The
blown lens covers almost all the front
half of the globe of the eye, with a
clear glass window in the center, ani
the rest cleverly painted to imitate
the coloring and. veining of the natur-
al eyeb,a1.1.
A third type of Contact lens is the
plastic., The American firm of Bausch
& Lomb now puts out a white bake -
lite Fens which matches perfectly the
color and dimensions of the eyeball.
The center part is clear optical glass
ground to the 'proper prescription.
Formerly 1the fitting- of these lens-
es was difficult and protracted But
the experiences of oeulists, optome-
trists and expert mechanics have de-
veloped interesting innovations. In
1932, Joseph 1)allos, eye specialist in
Budapest, suggested the making of a
cast of the living eye and fitting the
contact lens on it exactly- as one
makes a cast of the Mouth in order
to produce exactly accurate teeth.
The soft, pasty casting material is
poured into an approximately fitting
glass shell and placed on the eyeball,
which has previously been anesteelie
ed with cocaine. Thirty seconds lat-
er this is removed, producing a nega-
tive cast of the eyeball from which
an accuartely fitting contact lens may
be made.
In Liendon a contact lone center has
ben developed, venlig the Dance ,tech -
pique, at which 8.s many as sixty-five
glasses have been made in one day.
The British specialists are convinced
that with experience it may become
possible to decrease the cost and
make fitting eimpler. In the United
States there are several firms which
have been working in close co-opera-
tioni with leading eye specialists, in
the fitting of contact lenses.
A New York optometrist, William
Feinbloom., discovered that a great
deal of time, inconvenience, and the
risk of breakage, could be reduced 4f,
instead of making a direct cast of
the eyeball, he merely measured the
patient's eye, made a bronze cast to
those specificatkimis, and then fitted
the contact 'lens to the cast, nether
than the patientla"eye.
To meet the "cosmetic" challenge
of the contact leas, eyeglasses are
now made 111 300 shapes antd a wide
variety of tints, to hanfertm . more
Ln fitting contact lenses, great care
Is taken to minimize discomfort. Sur-
faces are polished to microscopic
emoothruess. Contact with the eye-
ball is lubricated by a special liquid

time the wearer inserts them. The
liquid is synthetic tearsL The pat-
ient's own tears are analyzed' to es -
certain the degree Of senility, and
then accurately matched in a pre-
scribed solution.
To put a contact lens on, the wear-
er first fills the inverted sheLl-like
lens with the salt solution. The shell
is then held at the top of a little rub-
ber suction tube, as one might hold
an eyecup, then gently fitted under
the eyelid's, a process learned in a few
trials. The salt solution touches the

wearer's face, Contact lenses are es- •

TENTH INSTALMENT
SYNOPSIS -
When the wealthy faster par-
ents of 'Marjorie Wetherill both
die she finds a letter telling that
sae bas a twin sister, that she
was adopted when her own par -
cute couldn't afford - to support
both of them and that her real
name "is Dorothy Gay. Alone in
the world, but with a fortune of
her own, she considers looking up
her own family whom she has nev-
er seen. A n!eighbor, Evan Bow-
er, tries to argue her out of it and
tells her he loves her and asks
her to marry him. She promises
to think it over but decides first
to see her family. She gees to
their address, finds that they are
destitute and gradually persuades
them to accept things they need.
When the doctor calls to see her
mother she notices that he seems
particularly interested in her she
ter. Marjorie goes to Church in
Brentwood, where her family used
to live, and becomes very 'much
interested, in the young minister
there. She then sees the nice
home there that her family had
owned and determines to buy it
back for them. She. consults a
lawyer and makes plans to pur-
chase it in order to give it to her
lather as a Christmas present.
"Well, I should say not!" saki Bet -
with a catdh in the last word like.

Suddenly a flood of thappineds roll -
d into Marjorie's heart. This was
er Home, where she belonged! They
red her!
Mr. Gay Came ina Little after six,
king weary but with a strange
w content upon him, a new self-
spect. Marjorie, looking at the
ght in' his eyes, realized. what a
rd thing it must be for him that
e could earn nothing to support his
redly, and wished with all her heart
hat something might come of her
equest to the lawyer about a p051 -
on for him.
It was not until the second day
ter that Mr. Bryant Sent Mar-
rie word that he had the papers
eady for her. So Marjorie, amid, a
owl from the children, started off
early in the morning again.
To Marjorie the day was full of
xcitement. It was so good to know
hat matter of the house was
ding through all right and that
afternoon the deed which she might

ings for tier father and mother.
Mr. Bryant told her that Mr. Mel-
urno had told him about her
atiber, and he had . been looking up
several good openings that might
terialize after Christmas. He
idn't tell her that he had been
missioned to look up Mr. Gay's
record and had found it absolutely

"Do you suppose it would be pos-
ible if there were an opening, that
t could come as an offer from some-
eere, and not have him know that
asked about it?" she asked, the
awyer shyly. "I think he would feel
etter about it that way."
And he seemed to understand for
e smiled and suid:
"I ethould think that might be ar-
nged."
So she went on her 'way to cone
lete her shopping in a very happy
frame of mind.
And then, right in the midst of
the last few purchases whom should
he come square upon but the young
Mister from Brentwood, Gideon
Reaver!
"Oh!" she said, a quick color fly-
ing into her cheeks, "I didn't expect
to recognize anybody in this big
strange city."
He seemed as pleased as, she was.
He paused and talked to her a 'min-
ute, told her how much he thought. of
Ted, and what a fine fellow be was
going to be, and then he hesitated and
looked down at her wistfully.

People who Write an illegible hand
must sometimes suffer themselves to
te misunderstood, not infrequently
with amusing resells. .Such an ' ex-
irarience once came to Dr. T. M. Buck-
ley, the eminent clergyman, when to
the Press he sent a notice of the sitib-
ject 'of his Sabbath discourse, "Oats
and Wild Oath"
The editor of one of the religions
weektieto really did himself proud in
denipheting the good minister's hand-
writing. Imagine Dr. Baekley's

SO she relaied and • enjoyed her

on with it.
"I have been wanting to ask you

dessert was 'placed before 'them and

"Well; then would you tell ine
please, how can you tell whether
you're saved or Dot? I'm a church
member of course. But is there a
way to be sure one is saved?"
"There surely do!" said Gideon his
eyes lighting eagerly.
She met his gaze earnestly.
"Sunday in your, sermon you talk-
ed a lot about the new birth, and 1
don't understand it, at all. I've al-
ways been taught that if I was good
would go to Heaven when I die."
"So was I," said Gideon smiling,
"but that is not true."
Marjorie gave him a startled look.
"No, because tihe law must be
kept perfectly , to be a means, of
salvation', and no one but Christ
ever has or ever could- be perfectly
good, so it would, be hopeless for us
if that were the only way to
Heaven. But thank God it isn't.
We have His own word for it! Do
you believe the Bible?"
"Oh, yes, of course. I
so very much about tt
but yea, I believe it." s
"Do you believe its gospel: that
Jesus was nailed to a cross for you,
taking all the penalty of your sins
by enduring God's righteous judgment
upon them?"
"Yes, of course, I believe that."'
"Well, do you believe that be-
cause He did that God raised Him
from the dead and exalted Him in
the highest heavens?"
"Yes, indeed, I believe
though I never heard it
just that way before."
"You believe, then, that Jesus is
the Christ., the Son of God?"
"Why, certainly."
"Well, then listen
says."
He took a small testament out of
his pocket and opened to John 5:1.
"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is
the Christ is born of God."
• The astonishment on her face
changed into illumination as she
took in the wonderful truth:
"Then I am saved!" she exclaimed,
her eyes softening with the wonder
of it.
"Yes, it fiG as simple as that,"
said Gideon his t eyes drinking
her eagerness.
Marjorie looked up, her eyes filled
with wonder.
Suddenly Gideon glanced at his
watch, and looked startled.
"Excuse me,", he' said, "I have a
wedding in half an hour and I've
barely time to make it. I didn't
realise how the time was going. May
I talk with you again sometime about
this?"
"Oh, I should love to have you,"
said Marjorie. "I know almost noth-
ing about the Bible!"
"You'll have to begin to atudy it
now." He smiled as he turned to the
waitress to get the check. "I'd love
to help if I may. I have a little book
that may 'help at the start. I1I send
it over to you. Good-bye, I wish I
didn't have to rush away. You've giv-
en me a wonderfully pleasant hour."
"Oh, and you've shown me an in-
heritance I didn't dream before that
I had!" said Marjorie with shining
errs.
As she took her way home an
hour later sire reflected how utterly
changed was [her life just in a short
week's time.
The doctor was there When she
reached the house. He was standing
in the living room talking to Betty,
telling her about a certain Christmas
in his ohildlhood when he had) been
alone among strangers, desolate and
forlorn.
Betty stood, in the doorway listen-
ing sympathetically to the story, and
Marjorie thought she saw a 'wistful

"Why, I'd love to!" said Marjorie,
with a sudden unreasoning feeling of
having been crowned. She followed
tiuim thorough the Chrietrnasi throngs to
a table in a corner where there was
comparative quiet.
Marjorie, of course, bad often been

Marjorie was st,aying. He would ar-
retro in Neve*, Of time to take her out
for a late dinner and the eventing
somewhere. He did notilet her know
of his coming. It was better to take
her by surprise.
The Gays, meanwhile, had been
having a wonderful time getting
ready for Christmas.
It was the next morning about ten
,o'clock while they were just in the
most interesting part of opening the
presents that the doorbell rang and
an enormous box arrived from one of
the city florists.
"Miss Marjorie Wethertill," the driv-
er announced. "Sign on the top
line!"
Marjorie looked up and smiled.
For me? How ridiculous! ,How in
the world dict anybody find out where
I was?
So Marjorie, laughing, opened the
box and disolosed the wonderful orch-
ids.
The card which lay on the top
fell to the floor and Bud picked it up
and read it aloud before anybody
noticed to stop him.
"Christmas Greetings for Marjorie
from Evan Brower."
Somehow Marjorie felt the eyes of
the family upon her in question,
though they hadn't taent„ she should,
and the, color crept up into her fair
cheeks. But she laughed.
"Oh, he's just an old friend ef the
Wetherill family," sive said casually.
"They're orchids, aren't they?" said
''red; almost accusingly, Marjorie
thought. "They're about the most ex-
pensive flower there is, aren't they?"
"Why, I don't know about the
expensive part. Yes, I guess they
are' considered rather rare. We'll
give them to Mother, shall we? I'd
like to have her have them. Now,
let's forget them and go back -to
our stockings."
It is safe to say that Marjorie had
never had such a happy Christmas in
her life. The thrill of giving had nev-
er been he-ra before.
The last present was a long en-
velope done up in a fascinating box
with a great seal and long red rib-
bons hanging from, the package.
"Ho Mr. George Gay with many
wishes for a Happy Christmas that
shall last all the year," read Ted as
he handed it out with a flourish.
Ted was as much in the dark about
it as any of them, far Marjorie had
decided not to tell anyone her se-
cret.
'But they had to wait spree time,

When it finally dawned upon them
all that the dear lost home was
theirs again, there was first an awful
stillness, followed by the biggest
tumult of shouting and hurrahing
the Gay household had ever known.
Father noticed that Mother was cry-
ing softly. Smiling and crying like

lenses originated, 50,000 persons wear
them for any one of these many rea-
sons'.
But there are disadvantages, to
which make it. unlikely that contact
lenses will ever abolish • or even no-
ticeably- diminish the use of conven-
tional spectacles. Unless you have a
strong reason, for needing anntact
lenses your eye specialist is likely to
discourage you from adopting them.
They are expensive, costing from $75
to $11)0 the pair, plus the specialist's
fee for fitting. Furth,errnore, many
persons find them uncomfortable;
they feel an actual sense of "some-
thing, in the eye." The "nervoos"
person, likely to complain of the fit of
shoes or, false teeth, never gets used
to them. Persons with tight eyelids
or hay fever cannot wear them at all.
Quest ionnai re replies from eyesight
specialists in the United States show-
ed that 80 per cent. of their patients
who wear contact leases to correct
unusual eye conditions are perfectly
satisfied, But of those who wear
them for occupational or "cosmetic"
reasons, one fourth to one half con-
fes,s they are not completely comfort-
able with them. One patient wore
contact glasses 16 hours a day for
nearly five years without 'any bad ef-
fects. Wearers have kept them in
for 36 hours at a stretch, but eye
doctors recommend taking them out
every four hours or so for a rest per-
iod, When one first adopts them, they
are worn for only a few minutes at
a time, the period gradually being
lengthened as the wearer becomes ac-
customed to thera.
Contact lenses are as safe as glass-
es. With thousands of them in use,
only one case of breakage has been
reported --and that did not damage
the eye. The glass of a contact lens
is tough and its firm contact with
the elastic eyeball gives it little
chance to shelter. One contact lens
wearer received in a motor accident
a savage cut across the eyelid. A nak-
ed or bespectacled eye would have
been badly slashed. The contact lens
took the blow undamaged and saved
the eye. Even outside the eye, these
tiny gadgets are hard to break. Care-
less handling may snap them., but un-
less they bit at just the right angle,
they will bounce harralesely when
dropped on a same floor.
(Condensed from I4ygeia in Reader's
Digest)
Six thousand Americana today are
wearing "invisible spectacles." The
starry eyes of a dozen favorite mOvie:
stars' -of both sexes- are triumphs of
the laboratory. An,d numerpus ships'
Officers, singers, fashion models, at
least one trig -league ball player, go
about their daily affairs without any-
one guessing that they are peering
through lenses.
They wear, attached by suction to
the. eyeball itself, a paper -thin shell
of glass or bakelite, its center a tiny
lens made to optical presoripticm.
These "contact lensea" move with the
eye; a foot away they are invisible.
Me advantages of these lenses to
actors, lecturers and others who must
look their best before the public are
obvious. Persians afflicted with cer-
tain eye diseases, notably kerwtocon-
us, in which the cornea becomes soft-
tened and deformed, find that contact
lenses are the beat aid to vision they
can get. There are other reasons
which account for their growing pop-
ularity: unlike spectacles, they can-
not be knocked off: they do not get
misty in rata. Professional athletes
of course, find:, spectacles a great
handicap and are turning to contact
leneee. Ships' offfcers and ya,chts-
men have found they oh -elate trouble
with spray. In industry special con-
tact leneee serve more conveniently

against chemical fumes or intense
light; t Geratany, where the contact
eyeball, and there is a slight suction
which holds the glass so securely in
place that only the firm pull of the
suction tube will get it off again.
The theory of invisible eye -glasses
was first expounded by Herschel, the
English physicist, in 1827. Little was
done wfth the idea until the late
1880s, when the Zeiss factory in Jena
experimenting with, the construction
of a thin, accurately ground glass
bowl with a spherical surface, which
could be placed directly on the eye.
To -day Zeiss leases are ground to pre-
scription as accurately as- any spec-
tacle lens.
Somewhat lateg a skillful German
glass blower named Muller dhveloped
the blOwn-glass contact lens. These
blown lenses, still widely used, are
not as accurate as ground lenses, but
are often more comfortable. The
blown lens covers almost all the front
half of the globe of the eye, with a
clear glass window in the center, ani
the rest cleverly painted to imitate
the coloring and. veining of the natur-
al eyeb,a1.1.
A third type of Contact lens is the
plastic., The American firm of Bausch
& Lomb now puts out a white bake -
lite Fens which matches perfectly the
color and dimensions of the eyeball.
The center part is clear optical glass
ground to the 'proper prescription.
Formerly 1the fitting- of these lens-
es was difficult and protracted But
the experiences of oeulists, optome-
trists and expert mechanics have de-
veloped interesting innovations. In
1932, Joseph 1)allos, eye specialist in
Budapest, suggested the making of a
cast of the living eye and fitting the
contact lens on it exactly- as one
makes a cast of the Mouth in order
to produce exactly accurate teeth.
The soft, pasty casting material is
poured into an approximately fitting
glass shell and placed on the eyeball,
which has previously been anesteelie
ed with cocaine. Thirty seconds lat-
er this is removed, producing a nega-
tive cast of the eyeball from which
an accuartely fitting contact lens may
be made.
In Liendon a contact lone center has
ben developed, venlig the Dance ,tech -
pique, at which 8.s many as sixty-five
glasses have been made in one day.
The British specialists are convinced
that with experience it may become
possible to decrease the cost and
make fitting eimpler. In the United
States there are several firms which
have been working in close co-opera-
tioni with leading eye specialists, in
the fitting of contact lenses.
A New York optometrist, William
Feinbloom., discovered that a great
deal of time, inconvenience, and the
risk of breakage, could be reduced 4f,
instead of making a direct cast of
the eyeball, he merely measured the
patient's eye, made a bronze cast to
those specificatkimis, and then fitted
the contact 'lens to the cast, nether
than the patientla"eye.
To meet the "cosmetic" challenge
of the contact leas, eyeglasses are
now made 111 300 shapes antd a wide
variety of tints, to hanfertm . more
Ln fitting contact lenses, great care
Is taken to minimize discomfort. Sur-
faces are polished to microscopic
emoothruess. Contact with the eye-

time the wearer inserts them. The
liquid is synthetic tearsL The pat-
ient's own tears are analyzed' to es -

then accurately matched in a pre-
scribed solution.
To put a contact lens on, the wear-
er first fills the inverted sheLl-like
lens with the salt solution. The shell
is then held at the top of a little rub-
ber suction tube, as one might hold
an eyecup, then gently fitted under
the eyelid's, a process learned in a few
trials. The salt solution touches the
