ONE MORE OPERATION.
Must Be Undergone by Mrs. Arthur
Paget and Will Last Hours.

New York, Aug. 29-Operations which
have succeeded one another through
months of pain suffered by Mrs. Arthur
Paget, the well known society leader,
have proved in vain and another most
difficult one will be attempted next
week. cables the Herald's London cor
respondent Mrs. Paget sustained a
fractured thigh and the bones failed to
knit sufficiently to support the weight
of her body.
The operation now to be performed is
a difficult and serious one and will, it is
expected. last three hours.
The side of the thigh will be cut open
and an incision made until the fractured
bones are encountered. These will then
be firmly screwed together with ivory
and in a few months time, it is hoped,
the fractures will be united strong
enough to bear the weight of the body.
