small change would hardly be noticed but the
effect of this double enlargement, vertically and

this operation was because many actresses,
pianists danseuses and other professional peO-

them a drowsy appearance. Sometimes they
are born this way. in other cases the heaviness
comes with age. This Is considerable handi-
