SAVES THE. woMAN's SIGHT.
Frogs Skin Grated on a Wound Pre-
vents Total BIindness and
Patient Receivers.

A delicate operation has just been per-
formed in the Massachusetts homeopath-
ic hospital, at Boston, whereby woman
was saved from total blindness.
Frog skin was grated around her eye,
where the flesh is most sensitive, and
the process was attended with great
danger.
The flesh about the eye had become
bruised and the skin became affected.
Both to save the eyesight and to prevent
the socket from having bald, hideous
appearance the graft had to be made.
Frog skin was used because no human
skin was available Crafts from the
white skin of frog were taken and ap-
piled to the eye.
The patient has fully recovered, The
natural skin and frog skin have coal
.sced so as to be indistinguishable the
one from the other.

that no other two articles were so like

Alter transaction with Mrs.
Hetty Green, the richest woman
Id the world, Mrs. ]. H. Ives of
Brooklyn denounces Mrs. Green
as the "stingest woman on the
face of this earth" The tran
saction involves a chair and a so
ia which Mrs. Ives says she lent
to Edward Green, Mrs. Green's
husband, who is now dead. Mrs.
Ives says since his death she has
been unable to regain possession
OF her furniture. The Brooklyn
woman may sue Mrs. Green, but
isn't certain yet.
Mrs. Ives is the stepmother of
Napoleon-of-Finance" Ives,
whose sensational career in Wall
street was seven day wonder in
the late eighties. Ives owed
more than $12,O00,OOO when he
became bankrupt, and apparent
~ his stepmother is in modest cir
eumstances now. Mrs. Ives is a
sweet-faced, ,sweet-mannered wo-
man with snow-white hair. At
4 the mere mention of Hetty
Green's name last night her eyes
blazed angrily.
Every time l think of that
woman my blood boils. You see,
:. bhe has done so much to make
,lne unhappy. We were school
!, girls together and tor many
ears we were friends. That is
81 long time ago. But you want
to know about this chair affair"

sJyosing the thread of my story.
When my furniture was bor-
! rowed from me, Mr.. Green and
his wife were not living together
and he had a tiny room in the

ASKED NOT TO SUE,

One night man came to my
house. He would not tell me his
name, but he begged me or be-
half of Mrs. Green not to cause
any unpleasant notoriety. He
added the trouble would be
adjusted, but would say
nothing more definite than that.
He wanted toscome in and tried
to persuade me, and l replied, I
never allow a man to pass my
threshold who is afraid to tell me
his name
But | am firmly determin ed
to obtain my rights, and | shall
go to law rather than be imposed
upon. Mrs. Green has offered
secondhand chair because | be-
lleve now my own belongings are
hopelessly dilapidated from wear
and tear. Mrs. Green is so
afraid of notoriety she will not
allow any one to give her home
address, but when I find out
where she lives shall tell every
one who wants to know. She is
in the Chemical National Bank
every day, but comes and goes so
furtiyely that no one can find her.
She owns $2,OOO,OOO on call in
that bank alone, and it is anus
ing to see Mr.. Williams, the
president, and the lesser officials
of the institution stand around
her and bow and scrape. l will
not have her miserable second
hand stuff, and l insist upon my
own furniture. That is all"

furnitureI ent with him. I
didn't thiA about it again until
he died, list March. Then I
asked that they be returned. 1
could never get any satisfaction
from Mrs. Green. Finally she
agreed to lend me some money
on another lot of furniture.
This was a sort of concession on
her part, and my sofa and chair
were to be included in the lot.
But Mrs. Green put off this loan
and finally she said she could
not take chatte1 mortgage be-
cause there would be a public
report of it in the newspapers,
and she hates that sort of thing
worse than anything else. So
these negotiations were dropped
and applied for possession of
my furniture again.
I will give her credit for hav-
ing made one effort to send them
to me. It was last autumn, and
she employed an expressman to
take them from her Office in the
Chemical National Bank to my
place here in Brooklyn. After
wrangling with the expressman
she made a contract to move the
furniture for 81. But the dav
was hot, and he returned with
the load about ten minutes after
he started and demanded so
cents more. This she refused
to give, and so my belongings
were not delivered. My patience
was about exhausted, and l sent
her word that / would sue unless

Chin Supporters Once More.

To get the little brown mark left
by five years of stiff linen collars
and high stocks from the neck has
been the problem with the girls dur.
ing the past months Of crushed and
low-neck effects. But just as the bIen-
fish begins to give" word comes from
the seat of fashion that chin support
ers will again be in vogue.
Stiff linen collars and high ones at
that, are the prediction for summer.
With them, say the ~wiseacTes, ribbons
will once more be tied in the back in
smart bows. These new collars will
have t%urnovers. In fact II kind Las
turnoveTs at both top and bottom. b.
tween the two is a crisp band OF
black satin, finished with a knot in
the back.
Another caprice is to have for the
shirt waist an adjustable collar of he
same material, which is TO be wora
over a linen collar deeper than it. This
allows for the touch Of white so in
dispensable to the up-to-date costume.
The linen collar under the blouse col.
lar will, it is said, be a feature of
next summers toilets.

Much Red in Millinery.

Red will be prominent this season
in many ways and particularly so in
millinery, from the amount of scar
let straw, flowers, ribbons and vel
vets to be seen for this purpose. A
very pretty hat, composed of scarlet
geraniums, has the frame covered in
tulle Of equally as vivid a hue. This
is one of the upturned models, and
the facing is also made of the closely
massed red flowers, with sutfi Client
introductions of the green geranium
leaves to break the color effectively.
Without appearing n~oticeably elevat-
ed. there is a raised trimming Of the
clustered flowers on the left side
mixed with loops and ends of a mar
row width Of geranium-colored velvet
ribbons.

New Yoke inexpensive.

The collarless gown will be much
in vogue for the coming summer.
Many of the new models in batiste, or
candle and dimities show the blouse
without any collar.
The new yoke, or rather cape collar,
a be made at home for a very mod.
crate sum, but If purchased in the
shops will be found quite expensive,
the cheapest being probably SO or $40.
For a quarter of this sum an average
clever girl should be able to make q
most elaborate one, trimmed with
bands of linen or taffeta, joined with
h~erringbone or ~faggoting stitching,
and medallions of lace, either applique
or inserted.
The Jokes Of collars come well
down IN the shoulders, producing the
long dropping shoulder effect. Some
are made OF a foundation of mousse,
line or chiffon and some have no foun.
dation at all.
