Either the pursuit of the public will drive him to lead an almost monastic life. abandoning the world which other men enjoy, or perhaps now at last hero worship will die a natural death.

What happened history will enjoy longer than any other episode of this trip. With Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, Oliva Dionne and wife and seven of the eight other Dionnes, the Quintuplets were bustled into the Lieutenant Governor's room of the Parliament Building. All five wore puffy, white organdie court frocks and poke bonnets, and each wore her favorite flower in her hair. Already astounded by the miracle of their first train trip and a ride through...
