HAT SAVES WOMAN'S LIFE.
Late style Millinery Creation Pre-
vents Fracture of Skull of Woman
Who Falls on Stone Pavement,

A new style hat saved the life of Mrs.
Buhl, of Sharon, Pa, the other after
noon. She is the wife OF Frank H. Buhl.
multimillioniare and former president
of the Sharon Steel company.
Mrs. Buhl was walking along the
street when she slipped and fell, striking
her head on the stone pavement. The
force of the blow rendered her uncon-
scious.
Physicians revived her with difficulty.
Her escape from fatal injury was un-
doubtediy due to new hat which she
wore. Underneath the back part Of the
hat was a heavy roll Of velvet, which
served as a cushion when her head struck
the pavement
The physicians say that had the vel
vet not been on the hat the blow would
surely have caused death.
