Quintuplets Presented

Toronto, May 22.

In an atmosphere of gravity, the world-famous Dionne quintuplets were presented to King George and Queen Elizabeth shortly after their arrival here today.

Each girl was given a blue coat by the Queen, who in turn was given a signed photograph by the girls. Then each child embraced the Queen with a resounding kiss, which Her Majesty returned.

Afterwards, the quintuplets were introduced into the Provincial Legis-nature by Mr. Mitchell Hepburn, the Prime Minister of Ontario.

Accompanied by their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne, Dr. Dafoe, and nurses, the five girls were led into the chamber by Mr. Hepburn
