EXPLOSION OF A FAKE
MRS. MAVERICK NO NEARER PAR
DON THAN SHE EVER WAS.

"A
DON THAN SHE EVER WAS.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE officials of the
home office say there is no foundation
whatever for the report that Mrs. Flor
ence Maybrick has been pardoned.
An official of the United States embas-
sy said to representative of the Asso-
ciated Press: TT did not need the home
Office denial to prove the absolute base
lessness of the Maybrick story. We
would be the first to be notified of any
such action, or proposed action, by the
British government Not a single fact
has arisen to give the slightest justi1ca-
tion to the story or to make the re-
lease OF Mrs MaEbrick more probable
than heretofore.
The official denial of the pardoning of
Mrs.~Ma ybrick would have been issued
earlier but for the red tape rule of the
home office which alone of all the Brit
ish government departments requires
that press inquiries Shall be made in
writing and answered through the mails
The only exception known was made tbs
afternoon for the benefit of the Associat-
ed Press. After this was done the Of
icials freely said the Maybrick story
was on a par with the recent epidemic
of fakes published in the United
States, among them being the statement
that King Edward was suffering from
cancer, that there was friction between
Lord Salisbury and King Edward and
that Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood was going to
South Africa as q. peace commissioner,
etc.
The Maybrick report was circulated free
ly here Sunday and Mr. Choate, the
United States ambassador told its au-
thors last night that it was untrue But
this evidently had no weight with them,
and when it was published nothing re-
mained but to wait until the home Of
fee had made up its mind to break
through traditions and give the ouietus to
this latest of the utterly baseless re-
ports.

Putting on Neu Cloves.

In putting on new gloves do so care
fully, for their after wear depends very

the very beginning. Never put on new
gloves when you are in a hurry and just
going out. Rather choose another time

ten minutes or 50 to devote to them
Before beginning operations dust a lit
tie glove powder, to be obtained at any
diapers or chemists, into each glove,
for this will cause them to slip on more
easily. Work the fingers well on before
putting in the thumb Then work that

on to the hand. When the glove is
carefully put on, pull it well down and
button the second button and any 9TH
ers that there are. with the exception
of the first, leaving the first button IN
til the last. If the hands are hot. re-
move the gloves and then turn them in
side out, pulling them carefully into
shape and leaving them in the air for
an hour or two before laying them
away. A glove stretcher viii be found
of assistance in the preparation of new
gloves for wear. It must, however, be
used with discretion since it is quite as
annoying to have a glove that is too
large as one that is too small. In buy
ing gloves always provide yourself with
a spool of sewing. silk or linen thread
for mending exactly the color of the

Raised embroideries originally con-
ceived and applied are quite within the
realms of possibility even for the less
well endowed, and. failing the faculty
to create these muslin and silk floral
rep1icas at home or lacking the money to
purchase them abroad, the ordinary
sprays one buys are frequently manip-
ulated with infinite skill allied to natural
embroidered foliage, together with that
india rubber tubing which forms stalks
and trails of so reaIstica character. Now,
here is handiwork enough and to spare
for fingers twitching with industrial en-
ergy, and handiwork of a value infinite
ly before common household stitchery,
which latter the average mind, aided
by sewing machine, is fully capable
