It's a question that can never be answered satisfactorily, f o r whereas some battlers lose their fighting zest once .they are safely hitched, the records of others show that they have reached their best only after toeing married. If you take famous Bob Fitz - "Ammons as an example, the verdict is in favoer of the wives. He had four of them and won three world titles, includ- Lag the heavy weight cham- pionship of the world. The son of a Cornish bla.ck- smith, Bob was taken to Aus- tealia when a small child. He built up a powerful physique at his father's anvil and at eigh- teen, after winning a novices' competition., he became a pro- fessional boxer. He fought on and off for ten years without casuing a sensa- tion, returning to the forge when contests .veren't avail- able. Meanwhile, he'd married Lt young and ambitious actress, who prompted him to go to America — where she felt were chances for both of them. They arrived in San Fransis- co in 1890. Both was broke, but within a year he had won the middle -weight championship of the world and his financial troubles were over. Bob and his . wife toured the music halls with a play entitled "The Fight for Love." It was a most prophetic title. During their travels they met Martin sand Rose Julian, brother and ulster trapeze artists of some renown. Soon the four were ,firm friends and Martin took ever the management of Fitz's seffairs. - Everything seemed lovely un- til Bob's serenity was shatter- ed by his wife obtaining a div- erce from him on the grounds of incompatibility. • Hardly aware of what this rneant,the boxer offered no de- fence and suffered a second 'shock when she announced her intention of marrying Mar- fan. With mixed feelings Bob and Bose watched the happy pair depart on their honeymoon. °'Let's get our own back and get spliced," proposed Bob jok- ingly, but Rose was serious. She secretly loved the happy- go-lucky fighter, admired the 'strength in that anvil -built tor— so and had immense faith in Ills fistic abilities. "AU right, Bob," she answer- ed quietly. "Let's get married — I'll make you a good wife." Rose kept her word and the nine years they were together proved the happiest and most successful of his life. She moth- ered three children for him and was the best "second" any man could have. She accompanied him to Carson City to see him fight Gentleman Jim Corbett for the heavyweight champion- ship. On the morning of the contest Mrs. Fitzsimmons retired to her hotel bedroom. Bob waited pa- tiently for her reappearance but, as the time drew nearer for his departure to the arena, be went in search of her. At the door of her room he. paused. The sound of his wife's voice came clearly through the closed door. Rose was on her knees praying for her husband's victory. • The fighter trembled with emotion, he could scarcely speak. Someone suggested it might be a good idea if he add- ed his own prayers to those of his wife's "N o," said Fitzsimmons. "What's the use. If 'E won't do it for 'er 'E certainly won't do it for me." Seated at the ringside only a yard from her husband's cor- ner, Rose watched nervously as Corbett fought on the retreat, boxing, in his usual style, and inflicting heavy punishemnt on Bob, who was..chasing after him in the hope of landing a damag- ing punch. Bob's lower lip was split wide open and ,blood trickled from his mouth on to his chest. Twice he was sent to one knee for counts of nine. He never looked like winning. Yet all this while his wife maintained perfect composure. Midway through the four- teenth round, Fitzsimmons closed in on his rival and Cor- bett raised his arms to ward off the furious blows that Bob was aiming at his head. "Go for the body, Bob!" urged Rose and the famous so- lar plexus punch was born. Fitz swung his left to the body. The blow caught Gentle- man Jim on the nerve centre below the ribs. Corbett sank with a groan and was counted Out. Bob worshipped Rose and when she died in tragic circum- stances, he was a broken man. For some months he went to pieces and tried to drown his sorrow by hard drinking, but suddenly he decided that the best cure for his grief would be to get married again. He did and returned to his New York home with a new bride, Julia Gifford, a twenty- two -year-old singer, whom • he had met on a theatrical tour. Thinking to impress her, he ar- ,ranged for a near -by hotel to'., provide an expensive supper and wired to several friends to meet the third Mrs. Fitzsim- mons. The party was in full swing when. Bob got up from the table and switched out the lights. Then he pressed a button, a , well panel slid aside and there, a full length, life-size, coloured photograph of . the recently de- parted Rose. .She was dressed in the full .. splendour of the trapeze artist; tights, spangles and abbreviated ccostume, and Bob beamed with pride and joy. His audience was spellbound. Then Julia quietly left her chair and going over to her husband, switched on the room lights and plunged the panel into darkness. Turning to the guests, she said: "The party's over, boys," and taking Bob's arm marched him upstairs. The new marriage had got away to a bad start and it is not surprising that it did not last long. Two years later Fitzsimmons, then in his forty-fourth year, had a bacl beating at the hands of Jack O'Brien in his last seri- ous contest. That defeat cost him his world's light -heavy- weight title. The same .night he also lost is wife. When he reached the dress- ing room a telegram was thrust into his hand. Peering through the bumps and bruises that sur- rounded his eyes, the old fighter took the worst blow he had suffered that night. "I am leaving you for good, I think it's best for both of us, Julie." She had timed the moment to a nicety, bringing their mar- riage to a conclusion with theatrical finality. Ample re- venge for the innocent slight she had endured over Rose's portrait. Actually, they were not div- orced until ten years later, but remained separated. Fitz busied hmself with boxing exhibitions and music hall engagements, while Julia continued her sing- ing career. Eventually she sought and got her freedom and a few weeks later the old champion walked into 'a New Jersey mar- riage licence office with a young woman on his arm and asked the clerk to marry them. She was Mrs. Temo Slorninin, FALL TO BRITISH PORTS: First Class from $210 Tourist Class from $155 asp ND i°.r?NTE", SARI t4 t Thrift -Seas Rates ROUND TRIP FOR AS LITTLE AS 531 0 TO FRENCH PORTS: First Class from $217.50 Tourist Class from $160 VESSEL From MONTREAL To VESSEL From NEW YORK To SAXONIA Fri.

He re- cently aserted that the human eyelash can be an important aid to crime detection all over the erl d. He arrived back in Japan the other day with no fewer than 200 eyelashes which he had col- lected from rnen and women all over Europe, Each was in a separate envelope and each represented a different type. From a single eyelash a po- lice scientist can quickly deter- mine whether a person is Asian or European, white or coloured, male or female, says Professor Fujmatsu. He has spent much time studying eyelashes and his landings will, in due course, be used for international police purposes. • Another scientist has pointed out that, although long eye- lashes are considered to add to the charm of a face, they are a sign of weak vitality. He has found that ailing children often have eyelashes twice as long as those of healthy children. Eyebrows, too, have recently come under the scrutiny of sci- entists. They confirn• the wide- ly -held belief that eyebrows that meet in the centre, at the top of the nose, are usually a sign of quick temper. A per- son with bushy eyebrows is usually amiable, we are told. And if you possess arched and finely -pencilled brows y o u probably have an artistic and imaginative temperament — something of a highbrow, in fact. The person whose eyebrows are strongly marked with long hair of vigorous growth is usually practical. a Chicago actress who gave her age as twenty-eight. Divorced herself, she knew how to cope with the irrepressible Robert and they lived happily enough together until his death from pneumonia in 1917.
