WOULD SELL THEIR SKINS.
Offer of s10o a Square Inch for Bru
 nette Cuticle Attracts Many Women.

One hundred dollars an inch for three square inches of cuticie attract ed fifty women to the office of the physician in Brooklyn who had made the offer, says the New York Press. He is Dr. A. J. Fulton of No. 137 St. Marks avenue. and his quest is for sufficient skin with which to cover an unsightly abrasion on the throat of d wealthy patient. She is a woman of prominence. and as the bruise. is in a prominent place she insists the color | of the grafted skin must match her own-which is a decided brunette.
 Not being accustomed to matching ribbons, the physician had an interest ing time with the women who were willing to give up a small part of their cuticle for the $500 his rich patient had offered. Although he had asked that nobody but brunettes apply, the appli- cants ranged from peaches and cream to chocolate.
 But you are blonde. you know" he said to one handsome young appli. cant
 It's bleached." she confessed; toss ing back her fluffy hair. See this" and she rolled up her baggy sleeve.
 '"Too dark" said the doctor.
 Another woman wanted to know if he couldn't take the graft cuticle off where her vaccination mark was. so it wouldn't show so much, and still an- other asked why he shouldn't scalp 1t off some other place than the arm She frequently appeared in evening gowns and-"Well, you know doctor while there be low necks and short sleeves once in a while. stockings are always high"
 He confessed there was a general impression to that effect but was com pelled to part with her reluctantly. She was the exact shade of his wealthy brunette, but wouldn't part with the skin on those immaculate arms--not for a million. In vain he explained it must come from the arm. and pre- ferably the left, as the texture and color there best suited the blotch he intended to cover up.
 In the rush of visitors the doctor had time to give attention to a man who entered his office on t;ptoe.
 Say" he whispered hoarsely, will it hurt?"
 ''No." said the doctor, "but the den. tist is around the corner"
 "Oh, it's not tooth. I'm after .hat $500"
 But I wouldn't give 10 cents for your whole hide"
 Its not mine; it's my wife's. She won't come, but if we can make a deal -"
 Last night the physician refused to say if he had made any choice. The impression is. however, the skin grafting operation is now going on Cor the benefit of his wealthy patient and a woman who can afford to lose q lit tle cuticle for S300
