YOUTH AND BEAUTY.
Mrs. Coils T. Huntington Sued by n
Woman Who Made Her Young.

NEW YoRk, March 10.-A New York
woman who for years has made bust
ness OF enhancing the beauty OF society
ladies, has begun legal proceeding:
against c. P. Huntington, the million
aire railroad man, for the collection oi
of bill contracted by Mrs. Hunting
ton.
Mrs. Huntington is the possessOr OF g
beautiful diamond necklace. 1t wa:
presented to her by her husband, and
cost small fortune. Last winter she
found that she had acquired to SC
much flesh that she was unable
to make the necklace reach around her
neck. and she went for relief to the
complexion artist. She said she wanted
the size OF her neck reduced, but in ad-
dition she desired to have few lines
and wrinkles removed from her face,
and brown spot caused by sun-burn
taken from her neck. 1t was not until
there had been two or three Interviews
did Mrs. Huntington reveal her identi-
ty. She explained her caution by say
ing that she was always careful in re-
vealing her identity at once because
nearly everybody tried to "bleed" a
millionaire's wife.
Day after day for weeks the beautitier
worked over Mrs. Huntington. Slight
wrinkles about the eyes were removed,
and the lines running from the side Of
the nose to the corner OF the mouth
were removed. But, above all, the flesh
on the neck began to disappear grad
ually, so that the diamond necklace
would encircle it once more. The artist
told Mrs. Huntington one day that she
proposed sending her bill, just TO let
her know how they stood financially.
"Oh, never mind that" Mrs. Hunt
ington is reported as saying; 81 ex-
pect the bill to be big one. Do the
best you can for me, and in addition to
your bill will make you present of
the finest silk dress you can find"
The artist sent in her bill few days
later. 1t was Il trihe more than 5000.
She has never seen Mrs. Huntington
since. In reply, she received the fol-
lowing:
MADAME: | have received yours OF
the 22d. can hardly believe you seri-
ously expected me to pay the bill as
rendered. / am willing to pay rea-
sonable amount. One hundred dollars,
should say, would be right. Yours
truly, c. P.oHUNTINGToN.
The beautifier placed the account in
the hands of Howe & Hummel for col
lection, and they have begun suit TO re-
cover the amount OF the corrected bill.
She is very much put out in the matter,
and she said to-day: "When Mrs. Hun
tington first came here she insisted on
this searecy. Her visits lasted from two
to three hours each, and she
had exclusive use OF the par
lorS. One day when ! was very
tired and wanted cup OF coffee, she
even refused to let my servant come
into the room. regret that her own
folly has dragged her before the public.
My bill was a just one" The beautitier
brought out a large pea-iacket sack
which Mrs. Huntington used TO wear
there. "You can easily imagine" she
said. ''the strain produced on little
woman like me by operating on woman
who would fill that sack"
Abe Hummel said this afternoon: SIN
asmuch as Mr. Huntington has refused
to pay more than 500 for the improve
ment OF his wife's face, my client pre-
ferS that twelve enlightened and un-
prejudiced citizens shall pass on her
claim in court OF justice"
