Lema Jean Butcher sitting in lounge chair with her sunglasses wearing poodle, Demi-Tasse, Alhambra, Calif., 1964.

“Demi-Tasse, a three-year-old poodle, wouldn’t venture out of the house without her sun glasses, according to her mistress, Miss Lema Jean Butcher of Alhambra, a teacher at S. San Gabriel Elementary School. ‘She took to them the first time I put them on her and now she barks and cries when I try to take her out without them,’ Miss Butcher says. But shopping’s a problem. Wherever she goes, Demi-Tasse, is naturally the center of attraction.”
