was told thar the boy was the seventh
successive one and that no girl had
come to the family. he asked { be the

every seventh son born in Brussels

ers have received gifts in keeping
with their station in life. King Al
bert. in carrying out the old adage a
short time e had some difficulty
because the seventh son was twins
according TO the Frankfurter Zeitung.
He could not stand for both boys. be-
cause that would give the family two
Alberts. The remedy was found by
Queen Elizabeth. who suggested that
her little son. the duke of Brabant,
be the godfather Of the eighth boy,
who consequently received the name
