Figure 1.-- The younger Sardou boy on the right in the Brely portrait is on the floor in front of Mme Sardou and the baby. He is playing with a great toy cannon. It is a toy that any boy woyld give his eye teeth for. I certainly wish I had had on like that when I was a kid. Even without knowing that the child is a boy, the cannon tells us with consideravle certainty that thechild was a boy. The younger boy is wearing a blue dress with a lace collar and pleated skirt. He wears white socks and black strap shoes. He looks to be about 5 years old.

It actually worked and the boys fired it at the President's cabinent!) Even without knowing that the child is a boy, the cannon tells us with consideravle certainty that thechild was a boy.
