And on the day of her appointment the
dancer sat hopefully in the operating
chair. Since her conversation she had
looked many times at those "before and
after" pictures of Nine. Yorska. The re-
constructed nose Of the Polish actress was
almost exactly what she wanted for her.

a triAe saucy, a bit coquettish. 1t was as
different as could be from the original
out of which it had been carved Decid-
edly, she thought, if such miracle could
be performed for Yorska lesser one
could be performed for her. She nestled
trustfully down in the chair
The doctor approached with two instru-
ments. They looked to her like a pair of
scissors and little lance. After local
application of cocaine the doctor went to
work.
1t was very painful, says Miss Glover,
but thinking of that ideal nose she be-
lieved was being carved into shape, she
endured stoically. Once she inquired what
the doctor was doing He told her that
he was then cutting away the cartilage
between her nostrils. The nose was be-
coming satisfactorily short, he told her.
Insertion of the lance far up the nostrils,
dimly felt through the numbing drug, was
the process of filling up and reshaping
the bridge.
At last, after two hours, the cuts were
stitched up, the nose bandaged and Miss
Glover went home. For six weeks the
stitches remained, she says. At last they

Miss Glover went back home and took
an inventory. She had possessed Grecian
nose, perfectly good for classical dancing,
which she had wanted to exchange for
"snub" nose better adapted to the roman
tic dance.
Now she had neither her original nose
nor the one she had wanted and had been
promised. She had exchanged the nose
nature had given her for nondescript
one with sunken bridge and one nostril
bigger than the other. She had lost. be-
cid hot horp oR %oc -
her upper lip and her good complexion.
She had acquired five hard Jumps in her
cheeks, the result of the injection of a
substance, which decidedly she did not
want, but which there seemed to be no
way to get rid of.
She thought that perhaps kind Nature
would rectify all this, however. She
waited for three years. She grew no bet
ter. Then, convinced that if Nature had
been going to do anything for her it
would have done it in that time, she sued
the specialist for $4,000.
In the complaint drawn up, by Abraham
Greenberg, her attorney, she gave as her
reasons for asking for this amount that
"bysreason of the careless, negligent, reck-
less and unskilful performance of the
operations this plaintiff has been seriously
and permanently injured, has been and is
unable to use the muscles of her face and
has suffered partial paralysis, and her gen.
eral looks and facial appearance have been
SO disfgured that she has been unable to
improve her career"
The defendants denied any knowledge
of the case at all.
But the jury listened to Miss Glover's
story. They looked at her photographs be-
fore the operations. They noted the mis-
mated nostrils. They saw that when she
tried to smile the left side of her mouth
drew up in a grimace, and that the right
Jumps in her cheeks. They noted that her
complexion was the shade of brick dust
and far from smooth.
And unhesitatingly they gave her the
full verdict that she had asked-$25.0 900.

She was looking particularly at her
nose.
There is an old rhyme that runs:
My nose' don't mind ,it,
Because I'm behind It.
But the rhyme didn't apply to Miss
Glover. She was behind her nose, but,
unfortunately, her audiences were in front
OF it. Even in dancing good bit Of a
girls popularity depends on the appear
ance Of her features from in front, and
Miss Glover's nose was far too decided q
feature. She knew that if she had a diff
ferent kind of nose she could make lot
more money.
'My figure is all right" she told her
self. "And my face is all right-except
my nose. The plain truth is that have
too much nose. But if had less nose
and it was turned up q bit" she unused,
"just enough to make it cute and saucy,
why, then, I could be romantic dancer
and go into vaudeville and make maybe
$500 week, like Dazzle and Bessie
Clayton"
Miss Glover thought more seriously
about the matter that morning than she
ever had before She pulled out again a
clipping that told how Nine. Yorska, the
distinguished Polish actress, had had her
nose cut down to the shape she wanted it.
Nine. Yorska's nose was decidedly big
ger than was Miss Glover's, and surely
what science and man had done for Nine.
Yorska in reducing that too generous beak
nature had given her, science and man
could do for her, she concluded.
There was certain specialist she had
heard much about who corrected faces
whose owners were dissatisfied with them
He, she decided, would do as well as any
one.
So Miss Glover dressed herself and went
around to the specialist before her deter
nination could cool. There she was
turned over, she later told jury, to DIR.

physician and surgeon, of New York, and
one of the specialists operators.

FAT FOOD RAW ID LIVE TO BE t5O,
 NATUR0PATHS SAY
When Law Allows, Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide

tLcnSeu WlTG ID MG
 CHICAGO, August 31.-Methuse- lah's wife was probably the worst cook in the tribe.
 She was so bad, in fact. that Methuselah preferred to eat his food raw.
 That was why Methuselah failed to turn up his toes until he had es- tab1ished record for longevity which no one else has even ap- preached.
 These conclusions are those of the naturopaths, who are having a con- vention here. Naturopaths are doc- tors who don't use drugs. They sub stitute fruit, nuts, other raw food and cold water for aspirin, cough medicine and enpsom salts.
 Want to live to be 150 years old7 Simple, say the naturopaths, pointing out that even the poor uneducated turtles and elephants do 1t. without any naturopaths to prescribe for them.
 Anyone, 1t Is claimed, can live to be 160 if he will subsist on 8 raw food diet. Why do naturopaths die at a comparatively early age7 We'll. probably they don't start on this diet soon enough.
 Pure Food Exhibition.
 Entering the naturopath conven tion hall, anyone but follower of the cult imm ediately becomes dead certain that he horned in on 8 pure food show by mistake. No tables laden with milk of magnesia samples
