Operation, Said to Have Cost
$4,000, Proves Success.
full in Removing Surplus
Flesh From Her Limbs

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. Blessed
with wealth, beauty and social
prominence, Mrs. Marion Tyler
OConner, Omaha divorce, had al
most everything she wanted of life
except shapely ankles.
Now, thanks to surgical skill, she
has those.
In an operation. said to have cost
$4,000 and much discussed in medi-
cal circles, trim ankles were chiseled
out for her by the knife Of an Omaha
surgeon.
A long incision was made on the
outside of Mrs. O'Conner's legs. The
extra flesh was lifted" out and the
wound stitched up, 1t healed in 10
days and the ankles are now quite
slender.
The incision was made at the base
Of the ankle and reached about mid
way to her knee. Both ankles now
taper quite gracefully and are really
mice to look at"
So far the opera ton has been a
complete success, but in the near
future she will again go to the hos
pital and have more fat removed by
means of incisions on the inside Of
both legs.
Mrs. O'Conner is a member of one
Of Omaha's Wealthiest and socially
prominent families and divorced wife
of a major now stationed at Fort
Omaha.
