Ing accident this week, which caused
her no end of pain.
She has been accustomed to run to
the front door whenever the bell rang,
and in returning into the hall from the
vestibule thoughtlessly placed her
fingers through the opening between
the door and the frame.
Her mother accidentally closed the
door on her daughters hand, saueez-
ing the tender little fingers until Mar
garet screamed with pain. AS quickly
as possible the childs hand was re-
leased. but not before it was severely
bruised.
AT first it was thought the bones in
her fingers were fractured. but luckily
the flesh was all that was injured Mrs
Richards was prostrated by the shock
and has not yet recovered.
