tanned by Mrs. Arthur Paget, who fell
down an elevator shaft at her residence
Monday night, sustaining fracture of
the thigh, turn out to be even more

thigh was badly fractured, that her
right knee cap was smashed, and that
she received minor injuries of the left

inability to fully treat the knee while
the fracture of the thigh is knitting

time. Thus you make friends
