They ran to find her and saw tier run out of the bathroom, her clothes flaming. A blanket was thrown about her but she had extensive second degree burns. She died in hospital last Sunday. The tearful father testified that the little girl had taken his lighter from a table while the parents were preoccupied by the program. Dr.

Clement said he thought all parents ought to be conscious of the attraction lighters hold for young children. "In this particular case I could see no reason to blame the parents," he said, "because I know that few households give much thought to this danger.
