I wonder if Geddes was aware of H.G. Wells' Little Wars (1913).

I don't know; I suppose if he was interested in war games. I'd never heard of it.

a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books

. . . okay, Herbert, I know you're trying to be progressive, but you're actually not helping.

I'm also wondering if he's any relation to your one who photographs the babbies, but that's another thing altogether.

If you mean Barbara Bel Geddes, she was his daughter, although I think she was better known as an actress. If you mean someone else, chances are still high: Bel Geddes was an invented last name.
