whether any Importance can be attached
TO the incident, in view of the dramatic
events which have made my girl the
most-talked-of woman in Europe, / do
not know, but / mention now for the first
time In print that. at birth. Ethel had a
peculiar deformity in the feet. She was
as a matter Of fact, frog-footed.
Doctors at the Jenny Lind Hospital
near our home were greatly interested In
her case. and were anxious to perform
an operation. But / was opposed 10 it
and that my judgment was sound i.
proved by the fact that the deformitS
has now entirely disappeared. and Ethe
has as fine carriage as one could wish

THE APPEAL was started in the year

Atro-American citizens of The Twin
