Nine. MATCHMAKER believes that al

unusual little girl she tries to make
simplicity the keynote of her life.
"She sings naturally and tries to
initiate her mother" says Nine.
Matzenauer Il believe in bring
ing up children according to a fixed
routine; no strict discipline, but
careful supervision. That is the
