C HICAGO, Dec. 18.—How to win the love of an heiress—in three rounds—is the advice of Packey McFarland, heavy lightweight pugi list, could give all aspiring prizefight ers. Miss Margaret Loughran, of Joliet, the heiress in question, has enlight ened the world. She is a tall, pretty brunette. “Mr. McFarland,” said Miss Lough ran, "possesses these virtues: He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t chew, he doesn’t stay out late nights, and he is nevertheless the most manly man I ever saw. I think he is perfect.’’ “Have you ever seen him in a fight ?” “Not exactly a fight,” said Miss Loughran, “but I’ve seen him box. He always smiles when he hits a man or gets hit himself. That’s what I like J most about him at first.” “Do you think prize fighting is bru tal. Miss Loughran?” “J do not.” answered the young woman. “Not the way Mr. McFarland fights. I think if he had lived a few centuries ago he would have been a crusader or a champion of tourna ments.’’ “How did you happen to fall in love with him?” Miss Loughran was silent for a mo ment Then she said: “Father Walsh, a mutual friend, brought him to Joliet to box at a charity affair. I saw him in the ring, and I thought at the time how re markable it would be if a man could be strong and able, as is Mr. McFar land. and still be fc. gentleman in every way. “A short while later Father Walsh introduced me, and I had my breath taken away. “He was a regular gentleman.’’ “Do you admire him most for being a strong man or a good man?” “For both,” Miss Loughran an swered, immediately. “When will the marriage take place?” “In the spring, as my father Is ill now and mother is away.” “Will you be his trainer after that?” “ ‘Love, cherish and obey.’ I guess the cherish part will include train ing.” It’s the prince of cars—and ear of princes. Two grand dukes and nineteen princes drive Fords in Russia. And the sturdy ear is as popular with both classes and masses the world over. Its unequal- ed merit has won it world wide recognition.
