He. doesn't go in for the tortoise shell or the gold-rirnmed kind, but uses just a plain round glass attached to one of those chains that snap up like a window shade. The President “pulled” this new acquisition on a group of Washington correspondents when they called on him the other day. His attention was called to a message on his desk, and he wanted to read it. He reached under his coat and produced the monocle. He didn't screw the glass into his face. He merely held it to his eye until he read the message. Then, snap, went the chain and the monocle disappeared.
