I'm rather touched that once in Wyoming someone thought of me ^__^ (Wyoming's quite a distance from you, isn't it..?) ...you are very clearly The Person Who Knows All Things 1890s. Crikey - if only. In fact, all I know of Victorian pince-nez I learnt from the Wikipedia page ^__^
And that does mention hairpins, as well as pinning the pince-nez to clothing. Also, looking at the page again, the Victorian pince-nez is worn up on the bridge of the nose. It must just be these newfangled pince-nez that are worn on the end of the nose. (I checked photos again of people wearing them, just to reassure myself I wasn't managing to put the glasses on wrongly ^_^)
And thank you ^__^ My story is in fact still online as well. If you ever wanted to read it, searching for 'SCFrankles' and 'Noir Comedy' would probably make it pop up ^^
