HIGH HEELS NEARLY KILL Woman Falls Down Steps and Onto a Broken Tumbler, Which Severed an Artery. Richmond, Va. One of Dame Fashion's Fash-ion's fancies, an unusually high-heeled slipper, came near causing the death of Mrs. John Devine, wife of a promt nent merchant, and herself well known in society circles, when they caused her to fall down the front step: of her home while carrying a glass o water. The glass smashed on the stones .nder her right arm, cutting a deer ash and severing an artery. The blood flowed from the cut for over two hours, and physicians had mucr difficulty in stopping it. Added to her weak condition from loss of blood, a fractured wrist was sustained. She will recover.
