using blue tor for a boy cities totaling pink tor for a boy we believe the majority should be correct and think some record will help standardize it Is not imperative when doubtful use white it Is not however very clear why these colors color are appropriated by the now new arrivals arrival of 0 either sex perhaps the mother goose jingles little boy bins bine etc has influenced america to lean toward blue for the boy russia also uses blue for or the boy in most roman catholic countries of europe blue Is ia the girls color as it Is the color dedicated to the blessed virgin and the little girls are consecrated by being offered to the vir gin fin france however seems to be an exception to the rule blue being used tor for the boy and so no because of the above variance and because
