134 THE SCIENCE OF DRY FLY FISHING. 



Not only do they occasion the loss of time, but they 

 are continually being mislaid and frequently injured. 



Pince-nez are perhaps the handiest form of glasses to 

 wear, but even these invariably get in the way, the hand, etc., 

 continually catching in the silk cord and the glasses being 

 jerked off the nose. Spectacles are too much trouble and 

 take too long to place on the nose when the crisis of a 

 " Rise " is on and the fly has to be changed, etc. After a 

 variety of experiments, I have invented and patented 

 spectacle frame attachments which can be fixed to the 

 cap and which can be riveted or readily attached to the 

 arms of any pair of spectacles, and by means of which 

 the spectacles are kept when not in use, on the peak of 

 the fishing, bicycling or shooting cap, the fez, or the smoking 

 cap, etc. ; a single motion of the hand places the spectacles 

 on the nose, or replaces them securely out of danger on a 

 hook placed on the front of cap, which hook prevents the 

 glasses from coming down. 



They are in both positions absolutely secure, and the 

 cap can be lifted from the head with the usual ease when 

 the spectacles are on or off the nose. 



The advantages of these glasses are many, and will be 

 readily appreciated not only by sportsmen but by all short- 

 sighted persons. The framework of the glasses can, of 

 course, be filled with any kind of lenses and attached to 

 any cap, etc. Personally, I can safely say that I have 

 found this arrangement of the greatest possible comfort
