Gus. Yielding to enthusiastic ap-
plause he sang twice I'm the

All, Ha! How do you like
the looks of these two handsome
lads? Now, who could say any,
thing but wonderful-when they
look at this pleasing photo of
Gilbert, left, and Russell Dent,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
Dent of 1900 Lamont Street
N. w. We give all the credit to
Harris and Ewing for this lovely
picture of the two boys.
We had to get in touch with
mother in order to find out
who was who. Gilbert and Rus
sell look enough alike to be
twins, dressed in their smart
suits, white oxfords, and socks
Russell Is four years old, and
Gilbert only two years old.
We were informed that these
two boys are great companions
and just crazy about boats and
the water. We judge that they
spend most of their summer va
cation at some beach.
Our attention was called to
the fact that Russell, is the
prize winner of two loving cups.
About three years ago a beauty
contest was held by the Kali
polls Grotto, and Russell won
first prize, which was a loving
cup. Nine hundred and fifty
children entered this contest.
He also won another loving cup
for being the healthiest baby.
Remember, Russell was only
nine months old. No wonder
mother is so proud Of her sons.
