Berger, the well known y ' cigar nalesman, of, 419 King stroat, has now about recovered from the operation which she underwent two weeks ago to give up 144 square inches of skin that' was grafted up- on the flesh of her little sister, Eleanor, the three-year-old child who lost her right leg and a part of her left foot through being run over by a trolley car in King street on the ewejiing of September 19. The _ victim of the trolley car accident is also improving and was on Sunday brought home from the Riverside Infirmary. _ For fortitude and self-sacrifice, the act of little Miss Mamie Berger deserves a high place among the an nals of heroism.
