MACK WAS A LOSER.
Wrestling Bout At New Britain Drew
Small Crowd.

New Britain, March 25.-John
Mack of Springfield, the sporting
manager, swallowed bitter pill
when he pulled off wrestling exhi-
bition at Hanna's armory last even
ing, but Ii was not as bitter dose as
that taken by the wrestlers. Philip
Bonenfant, who won the preliminary
bout, announced at its close that he
did not get cent for his part in the
exhibition, but that he did his best
to entertain his audience. He chal-
lenged anybody, small or big to a
match and added that if any one
believed he was not In earnest, to
step out on the mat. No one came
forward to doubt his remarks. The
house numbered few over 200. The
receipts amounted to about $42, and
the rent of the hall was $50. The
remainder, s12, was left to meet ad-
vertising bills, etc. When the pre-
liminary bout was called it was soon
seen that Bonenfant of this city was
more clever than his opponent, John
Johnson of Worcester. The main
bout was between Louis Montagna,
hailed as the Italian champion Of
New York. and John Hantakas, the
Terrible Greek" of Worcester. Mon
tagna was about thirty pounds
heavier than the Greek, but the lat
ter was skilful enough to prevent be-
ing thrown.

A Married woman's Jealousy.

now, but before she was married she
was crazy about a young man, a friend
of mine. This young man has been
corresponding with me for about W
months. Recently he met this girl
friend and she told him some lies
about me with the result that he
stopped writing to me. He sent me his
picture and / sent him mine, and |

he speaks and other times he does not
speak to me. L asked him one day ii
this girl is still telling him stories about
me. He said he didn't believe what h
said, but Won wait and find out for
himself. Now that he does, not write
to me CT won't speak to me, makes me
think he believes what she has told him.
l have been advised to give this girl
friend up. Would you advise me to do
so? Also if this young man should write
to me would you advise me to answer
his letter?

for me to wear it, and as am the only

at all of the young man. If he does
not believe in you in spite of what your
friend has told him he is not worth
bothering about. Do not let him see

you at all, and when he finds you are
Indifferent I am sure he will realize his

the medium grade very good. Pur-
chase at one Of the department stores.
Florida water Is largely composed OF
pure alcohol, and the latter has q ten
dency to dry the skin If used too free
ly. I would not recommend its use as
a face wash. To cleanse your face use
a good olive oil soap, the sort that
comes in two and three pound bars.
There is nothing better as 1t contains
little or no chemicals and Is suited to
the most delicate complexion. With
this and a good cold cream, you Will
have little use for Florida water on

Dear Madame Alta:
Kindly let me know what will re-
move yellow spots from my neck and
upper part of my arms; also something
that will restore light brown hair to it's
natural color. 1t has turned red and
looks horrid, as 1t is very bright.
MISS Fl. L.
Peroxide of hydrogen diluted with a
little water and applied to the yellow
spots every night and morning Will
cause them to disappear. Do not wear
tight collar If you wish to have a nice
white neck. Tight sleeves will have
the effect of making the arms dark In
spots. Your hair has no doubt become
faded from exposure to h sun, a con-
dition which Is not unusual In warm
weather when so many women go bare
headed. Brush your hair vigorously
every night, as this will cause the
natural oil to flow more freely from the
roots of the hair. Keep your head COW
cred as much as possible when out In
the sun and use nothing but pure olive
oil soap when shampooing. If this
simple treatment does not benefit o
