WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.
Sherry wine is an improvement to a
fruit gelatine.
There are pearl claapa on some of
the new gloves. They are really ball
and socket fasteners. only the socket
is of pearl instead of metal.
Those ladies just going out of mourn-
ing will have. no difficulty this season
in illi‘ding plenty of lavender materials
for dresses and their accessories. it
is one of the fashionable colors and
will be worn by all.
'The correspondent who is troubled
with persplrlng feet may not bathe
them often enough. There is little
danger of doing this too often, or of
'chnnglng the stockings too often. And
when the feet are burned alcohol or
some other stimulant can be put in the
water with benefit. Soda, too, is good.
Then if the feet are massaged thor-
oughly each day the circulation will
be greatly improved. and this means
an improved condlton. If my feet
were very bad i should consult my
physician.

newspapers here today make little
comment on theiiniiugurution yester-

Richard Croker Repudlates an Alleged
Interview.
LONDON, March 5—Mr. Richard
Croker to-day expressed a strong in-
dignation when shown a copy of a
slew York newspaper of February 18,
containing an alleged exclusive state-
ment of his views regarding New
York polities. '
”You know how frequently l have
declined to talk. even to The Asso-
elated Press on current events in New
York," said Mr. Crokor; and to find
myself committed in the columns of a
New York paper regarding matters I
never have mentioned to a person ls
exasperating in the extreme.
“The entire interview is a tissue of
lies from beginning to end. The news-
papor has been frightfuily imposed on
by some one; and that person 1 pro-
pose to discover and whip out of jour-
nalism. . r. .
“I ask The Associated Press to say
to my friends in New York that I am
not talking politics toany one, and
sensational reports to the contrary
may be set down as ‘fakes.’ I am
only talking now because indignation
compels me to set myself right with
my friends in New York."
