Wanted An Ear
Lady Advertiser Who Lost Hers. This advertisement appeared among “Personals” in the Chicago “Tribune” recently : “An attorney representing nonresident society woman will pay 2,500 dollars for one left ear to be removed and grafted on my client; operation will be performed by competent surgeon and will keep matter strictly confidential. Applicant must be young, not over 25, light skinned. Applicant will submit name, photograph to attorney, who will keep matter in strict confidence.” The “Herald-Examiner,” not even sore that it didn’t get the ad, started an immediate followup and traced the story to Jay J. McCarthy, lawyer. McCarthy stated his client, 34 years old, formerly of Chicago society and now of New York, lost her listener in an-automobile accident in Europe two years ago. She desires that the lost ear be found in Chicago so that her friends in the east will have no knowledge ot the operation.
