Advice d'Amour MARY WORTH "Doctor Ward's Secret" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...Mary Worth has taken in a new boarder, rich widow Lisa De Leon, who is in town so Dr Karen Ward can perform an experimental procedure.

Though Dr Ward is hesitant to do the operation, De Leon's offer to finance a new hospital is too generous to refuse!
As Dr Ward makes preparations, Señora De Leon (who refuses, for reasons unknown, to be seen in public without a heavy veil) travels to a nearby park to try to relieve her anxiety and depression.
But the happy people she sees depress her even more!
However, Fate has a tendency to change the course of someone's life, though it seems improbable...

Wow!
What will Michael Jones say when he finally sees the face of the woman who enthralls him?
Will he and Lisa De Leon become a May-December couple...though he doesn't know it?
And what will Mary Worth say or do about it?

Historical note: Remember, this was the mid-1940s, when cosmetic surgery was still highly-experimental!
Plastic surgery was done almost exclusively to repair war-inflicted wounds and disfigurement.

Rhinoplasty (nose reduction surgery) had become popular from the 1920s on, but extensive cosmetic surgery to reduce the appearance of aging had not yet become the obsession it is today!

Advice d'Amour MARY WORTH "Doctor Ward's Secret" Part 1

Though Mary Worth has been published in newspapers continuously from 1938 to the present...

...unlike long-lived comic strip contemporaries, like Dick Tracy and Peanuts, Mary's stories have been reprinted almost haphazardly in paperback and comic book formats by several different publishers!

This tale from 1944, by Ken Ernst & Allen Saunders and combining daily and Sunday strips, is the longest single storyline ever reprinted, and even this reprint hasn't been seen in over a 3/4s of a century!
Let's join the storyline featuring a woman doctor (a rarity in the 1940s), a mysterious wealthy widow, experimental medical procedures, and incredibly-nosy neighbors...
