HOT CURLING IRON MAY COST AN EYE

Miss Mary Worden Let One Touch Right Eye While Curling Hair at the Makeever Hotel. Miss Mary Worden, daughter of George Worden, of Remington, who has been employed as a waitress at the Makeever hotel, met with a sad accident while curling her hair Thursday^—<She jabbed the heated iron into the right eye, burning the cornea or transparent coat of the eyeball, in front of the pupil. It was treated by a local physician, who gave the opinion that the eyesight would be seriously impaired, as the sensative coating would be clouded as a result of the burn. It is believed that it can be relieved by an .operation. Miss Worden went to her home at Remington in the evening, following the accident.
