In an action for personal injuries to the wife caused by a fall on the stair steps in a department store, attributed to alleged negligence of the defendant in allowing the stair steps to become in a dangerous and unsafe condition, verdict and judgment were rendered awarding $2,500.00 to the wife and $500.00 to the husband.

There is evidence to sustain a finding of liability of the defendant, and no reversible error of procedure is made to appear. However the damages awarded the wife are excessive in amount. If the plaintiff remits $800.00 of the damages allowed the wife, the judgment will stand affirmed for the amounts remaining; otherwise a new trial will be granted as to the damages to the wife.

It is so ordered.
