BABIES AS MONEY-MAKER
Dionne Quintuplet’s Fortune Although the famous Canadian Dionne quintuplets are only just one year old, nt money-makers they stand supreme. At present their fortune totals more than £30,000—£0,000 each —and now a contract has been signed with a United States lithographing firm giving them the right to reproduce the quintuplets’ portraits on next year’s calendars. A million calendars will be put on the market unj this is expected to bring an additional £7,000 in royalties for the babies' trust fund. The five little girls will not be able to touch their money until they are eighteen years old and by then their dowry will probably be in the milliondollar class. Under the expert care of the Canadian doctor who brought them into the world, and three trained nurses, the babies are thriving. All five now have sonic teeth each and soon they will be trying to talk.
