Last week Miss McGraw had a new pair of twins to display-Florie and Margie, 15 months old, born by caesarean section two months prematurely to a onetime domestic servant and an apartment house doorman.

As her labor pains mounted physicians saw that, because her pelvic bones were still immature, a normal delivery would be difficult, if not dangerous. They decided on a caesarean section. But Juanita's grandmother Annie Dick, who remembers when squaws had babies with less fuss than a hen laying an egg, stood out against it. All night long the physicians argued with her, pointing out that Indian girls of Juanita's generation no longer live the hardworking, outdoor...
