THE SILVER SPOON OF THE QUINTUPLETS.

Every day in every way tlie future of the Dionne Quintuplets grows brighter. * Their second birthday on May 2S brought them more dividends. Those Ave tender Canadians of Ontario are earning money just by being themselves. Photographers pour it into their lap; newspapers pay for interviews where the quintuplets need not say a word; advertisers pay for permission to say that the five eat their produ.cts or wear their clothes. They are film stars in their own right, and the moving picture people are eager to subscribe. All these payments mount up. The Dionne sisters have made £00,000 by what is called publicity. They were not born rich, but riches have been thrust on them.
