They were born IN a dlngy,
dark, cluttered room just off
the living room of their parents,
who, with their other five child
rem, continue to occupy the un.
painted, scantily furnished
wooden cabin where the quin-
tuplets first saw the light Of
day.
The room in which I found
Mrs. Dionne apparently dying
and her babies clinging to life
with the frailest hold, was the
only one in the house which
could be turned into a nursery.
HandicapS
Yet it had no door to separate
1t from the living room-only
q hanging curtain which, ex"
cept for the vigilance of our
splendid nurses, would have
permitted no privacy.
Only in the early morning did
q few rays of sunlight fall into
this nursery, and never were
babies more in need Of the
health-giving sun baths which
they now enjoy so much.
Since they came two months
ahead of time, not even a little
shirt or dress or sock awaited
them. There was no crib, The
sanitary conveniences, when I
arrived, consisted of teakettle
of boiling water on the stove.
The babies literally were
wrapped in rags, Immediately
after birth-remnantS Of cotton
sheeting and old napkins. They
were deposited side by side in
an ordinary butchers meat
basket-which had to be bor-
rowed from a neighbor.
For Warmth
Blankets warmed in the oven
were the best available supply
Of the warmth the whimpering,
doll-like little creatures so
badly needed.
Look on that picture, then
on this" as Shakespeare's Ham
let says. The present nursery
occupied by the Diorne daugh-
ters-Yvonne, Annette, Cecile,
Emile, Marie-haS a southern
exposure and is flooded with
sunlight whenever the sun
shines. There are four great
windows across the front, and
two at each end of the room
besides the observation" win
dow at the back, where visitors
can peep at the baby show.
Each little girl has her own
dainty, clean white-enameled
crib, adorned with the gayest OF
patchwork quilts. She has her
own cribside table, heaped with
her own snowy towels.
Just under the four big win
dowS is the sun-bunk, in which
the uuintuplets kick and sprawl
and bask like so many kittens.
There also is a sun-ray lamp, so
that they can sun-bathe, what
ever the weather.
Immaculate
The walls are freshly painted
and the smooth floor is immac-
ulate. There are white enam-
eled tables, where each baby is
bathed in a white enameled bar
sin, and where all her clothes
are changed twice a day.
Each little girl has her own
sterilized milk bottles and her
individual sterilized water bot
tie, filled with boiled and ster-
ilized water.
She has her own hot water
bag-a different color for each
baby, with her name written on
it in big white rubber letters.
Each tiny tot also is the proud
owner of her own pink and
white cefluloid rattle. Truly,
''home was never like this'' for
the Dionne quintuplets!

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The man in this case is 10

has been devoted to me appar-
emily since I was a little girl.
He's an old friend of the family.
But there is an older woman
who is very much in the picture.
I've seen them together in the
theater, at concerts, and walk
ing. She seems possessive, he
rather miserable looking.
He has asked me to marry
him sometime" says it can't
be soon, but he wants to have a
definite answer. I asked him
about the lady he goes with so
much and he said that some

me, he really shouldn't ask you
to marry him till the mystery
has been cleared.
