SURGEON’S TEAT

SOCKET FOR GIRL’S HIP A seven-year-old girl who seemed i doomed to remain a cripple is to-day running about and playing with other children in consequence of a remark- ■ able operation performed at Victoria , Hospital for Children, Tito Street, Chelsea. The child, Gwen Jenkins, of Brookmead Road, Bcddington Lane, was born without a socket to one of her hips. For two years the child had her hips in plaster of Paris. Then the surgeons took a piece of bone from the sound limb, fashioned it into a socket, and placed it in the crippled hip, which was again placed in piaster of Paris. For two years the plaster remained and in May this year the doctors decided to free the limb. They discovered that the operation was a success—up to that . point. The socket worked naturally but it was not. strqng, and a daily course of. exercise. and massage, was begun. Recently the child’s jov. was made complete. She was placed on the floor, and after a little, hesitation began to ■walk. , FROM CITY TO NEW GUINEA A Sydney, stenographer, slim and auburn-haired, who became a gold miner in Papua has just returned, for a short holiday. “It’s a great life,”she said. “I shall be only here for a few months, and then I shall return to Papua—and, stay until I have made a fortune. ”■ This. hardy gold-miner, Mrs M.
