The comfort of
being right!
You can always tell a careful dresser by a glance in the region of his neck. Since beards went out of fashion, men have grown increasingly conscious of the need for a facial set-off. This is a task admirably. performed by shirt, collar and tie.
But nature has been lavish in the bestowal of variations and a little skill is therefore necessary. in choosing these items.
We have gained plenty of this skill and are always. willing to share it. Why not ask us, and enjoy the comfort of being right !

No sporting event in Europe has ever excited such intercal or drawn such crowds. There were at least 100,000 people who wished to enter the Stadium, and thousands of police and guards were on duty, but the crowds were as orderly and as, well-behaved the weather., They had come to see Paolino win, however, and when the decision for Carners was announced, part of the huge crowd of 9,000 rushed towards the ring. They were repolled by civil gyards with drawn swords, but there were no actual clashes:
Carmera's footwork at times was masterly, and he used his right with telling effect, though he missed several chances of knocking his man out-once with a terrific right when bo had him on the ropes in the fourth round, and twice again in the lifth round.
Paolino was gamenres itself, and strove mightly against bie giant opponent; but he could not stand the strain and began to tire in the
eighth round.
Carnera said: I had the strangest boxing document in my dressing-gown pocket. It was an order from the Spanish Boxing Federation to transgress the rules by fighting with stor. gloves. How could I fight if I could not close, my hands? I therefore said: 'I will give him a boxing match; and I
think I did, I never made any
attempt to hit him."
Paolino said :-"I thought I won. The referee would not let me fight according to my style. I could not stand up and block the blows of that big fellow. I had to crouch and weave to get in, and I was warrod for doing it."
