NEW YORK — {JPt — More men
than women are giving themselves
a change of pace today by get
ting themselves a change of face.
They get a new outlook on life
by going to a plastic surgeon to have
4 an objectionable facial feature re
modeled.
“Since the war we have more
men than women patients.” said
Dr. Gregory L. Pollock, a pioneer
specialist in this form of human
sculpture.
In the last 30 yean ha has oper
ated on some 5,000 persons. Among
them were the widow of a U. S.
president—she had her face lifted—
and scores of society, theatrical and
movie celebrities.
Dr. Pollock is something of a
Broadway notable himself. He went
from booking to bobbing. As a yo
uth, before he went to medical
school to learn the art of how to
noses, ears and bosoms, hs

’J’HAT evening, dfciner, as we were hev
there was a
sound X the back entry as of a
centipede with new shoes. Then a
tap on our door.
“Yes'" I called.
“Could I aee you a minute?”
The voice was muffled, but I rec
ognized Nancy.
I went into the beg. Nancy was
red-eyed and sniffling. In her
hands she was twisting and un
rV twisting a handkerchief. Joe was
watching me anxiously. Support
tag herself on the bannister at the
head of the basement stairs was a
frail little old woman, shrunken
to child size. Her lips moved ner
vously over her toothless mouth.
Her eyes, too, watched me anx
♦tausly.
“This is my grandmother,” Nan
cy said between hiccuping sobs.
“She’s 92 and she has no home.
We’ve just been over to my aunt’s
and she said she'd burn the house
down if she didn’t get rid of Gran
ny. She says she’s got to go to
the hospital and wait there to die.”
I looked startled at such trank
discussion of the old lady in her
presence.
I “She’s deaf," Nancy said.
Like an organ grinder's monkey,
.the old lady turned troubled eyes
‘from one to another of us.
“Oh, Mrs. Roberts,” Nancy
blurted, “could keep Granny
here with us? She’s so little and
afraid. I can't let them put her in
a hoepital, now that we’ve got
such a big house to live in."
Td done a shift the day before

had nothing to look forward to
except death. One had thought I

the men in the next ward were

“It used to be a hush-hush mat

pie were ashamed to admit they

that their parents—or life—had
given them.
, Tottey they want t0 bra s about
i it. They even throw cocktail part
ies to unveil their new nose.”
And the patients are no long
er merely the Idle wealthy, seeking
to hide the traces of age. Most are
working people.
“Plastic surgery isn't a foolish
luxury,” said Dr. Pollock. “In an
overwhelming number of cases it is
an economic investment. It isn't
Just vanity that impels them to
want their faces changed.

out of my mind: my sympathies
were raw and bleeding on the sub
ject of unwanted old people. ‘Til
tell you what I think you’d better
do,” I said to Nancy. "Take her
downstairs and make her a good
cup of tea, and when we’ve fin
ished our dinner and you’ve had
j yours, well talk it all over."
AN hour later I went downstairs.
The old lady was peacefully
asleep on the davenport; her waxy
transparency made me realize she
wouldn’t be with us long. The
children were In the laundry wash
ing their supper dishes.
‘She.jseeds to be near you,” I
said. “There’s a bed stored in the
comer of the basement. Joe. You
set it up in yeur living room.
Then your grandmother can live
here with you."
“Couldn’t she sleep on the dav
enport?" Nancy asked. “She’s so
little she has lots of room there,
and it would clutter us up to have
a bed in the room.”
I agreed to that and gave Nancy
extra line* and blankets to use.
feeling that young people as tender
as they couldn't have too much
encouragement.
I was undressing for bed when
there was a tap on my door. Again
Nancy was crying.
“Sit down,” I said, “and tell me
all about it.”
She sobbed and said she felt
deceitful. She gobbed again and
said thatfs why she had to tell me.
She sobbed again and said she
didn't tell me sooner because she
was afraid we wouldn’t let her
have the apartment She now
spent . 3 ' few seconds in a good, hard
cry. Then she said I had been so
kind she didn’t see how she could
ever tell me.
I reminded her that a coward

now, let’s have it.” I
She sobbed "I’ll have a baby

One of their problems is to turn
down people who come to them with
imaginary facial aliments. Dr. Pol
; 0 ck rejected an 81-year-old woman
who wanted her face lifted. Her age
made the operation too risky for
any benefits she would gain.
One of his oddest callers, was a
handsome young man who came
to him shortly after the death of
Lon Chaney, the movie
“He had a suitcase stuffed with
hundreds of Chaney's

to operate on him so he would look

“You don’t have to do that.” I
