he proves acceptable to the House's membership, eventually be acknowledged, but only as any other outsider may be.

For the artificial or partly-artificial family to be of tolerable size and strength (as the man-woman-andbaby nightmare so commonly seen is not), persons will have to be attached by the terms of a contract providing for the breeding of only such children as the House can support.

It will be feasible to receive members into such a family by adoption to the benefit of both parties to the deal. Obviously a person in his teens or older affords a better index to his compatibility than does an unborn baby. For House purposes the adoptee does not need to be a minor; and there are quite a few elderly persons available for such adoption. It is vital that the House use care in selecting prospective members; it may accept them on a probationary status or as retainers.

Each house can fix its own rules. The annual election of a family king or queen would conform to pre-dynastic Egyptian (before 3100 B.C.) and pre-dynastic English (before 1066 A.D.) practice.

Such an immortal family can confer blessings which as human beings we hunger for and cannot otherwise receive. We are not reptiles, laying our eggs in the sand and giving no further thought to posterity.

a new sort of publication... HOMOPHILE STUDIES puts the study of homosexuality into a serious, unbiased context. Its pages explore all sides of the question, seeking relationships and meaning, critically examining the history and the literature, the science and the "pseudo-science."

We can't promise easy reading, but we can promise stimulating reading for those hoping to find out what homosexuality really is and how it fits into the scheme of things.
