Description
The plaintiff, a woman 46 years of age, in good health and with good eyesight, entered defendant's store in Burlington on
December 29, 1956, for the purpose of buying a toy. She had been for 11 years an instructor in Western Illinois University
at Macomb, Illinois. She had never been in this store before. At the time she was wearing shoes with medium height heels and
a rather broad base. It was stipulated that she was at all material times an invitee in the store. [1] Plaintiff suffered a fall shortly after entering the store, through failure to see a step-off from a landing at the bottom
of the stairway leading from the first floor to the basement. She mistook the landing for the basement floor proper, and fell
from it to the floor, with consequent injuries. At the close of her evidence, the trial court granted defendant's motion for
a directed verdict upon six grounds, all of which were based upon the holding that there was no sufficient showing of negligence
