HER MAIN ASSET.
There is in Chicago a stage celebrity named Ada Leonard, known as a "strip-teaser," who fought against an operation for appendicitis on the ground that the scars would mar the body so essential to her profession. She stubbornly refused to be operated on and was taken to hospital, where blood transfusions were necessary. She has made a miraculous cure, avoided disfigurement of the Leonard torso, and is probably back at work entertaining audiences to whom strip-teasing acts are a perennial source of enjoyment. As an American wit had it: a girl has to do something in a quiet city like Chicago, and undressing on the stage is as remunerative a job as any Miss Leonard knows.
