FI put up a sign, "Boys or girls at will: 100 per cent. success," which would you ask of me, anxious Parent-to-be? .
Doctors' experience is that the answer every time is, "A boy." That is because when it comes to being prepared to pay a heavy fee a boy is wanted pretty urgently for some reason of inheritance, a throne per- haps, a title, maybe no more than to carry on the business which you are so proud, Father, of having built up.

The 7 Ages
of LORD SWINTON
MASTER PHILIP GREAME was a normal boy at Winchester.
At least, none of his contemporaries remember him as skill-
