PLAYGROUND OBSERVATION GALLERY

about time to go out into their play ground and play.
 A line, orderly and quiet, forms at the entrance gate to the observation gallery. Before 0:30 more than l,000 are in line.
 A yowl from inside the play space brings an awed gasp of "A.a.ahi" from the waiting line, in which wn. men and especially elderly women, predominate.
 Most of the men are . little self. conscious, but no more 50 than the women who Shyly lift chunks of stone and pebbles from bin plac. ed along the waiting line
 They are the famous stones from the nursery yard or Dionne farm which are esteemed as charms for fertility, or for simple souvenirs.
 Tons of them have been carried away. A jewelry firm in New York B even receiving them to make "charm" jeweiry in the form of 6 ilve-stone bracelet.
 There's Bustle Everywhere
 Busy hammering is going on at the new staff house, and the peVil- ion where OiiVa Dionne now opers ates 0 souvenir and variety store. Crowded quarters within the nur. scry itself for tho nurses, police, housekeeper, cook and orderly have made 1t advisable to build Q separate residence or "staR house." for them.
 French Canadian boys from tho neighborhood have already learned that by polishing the travel-Stained Windshields they can harvest tips. Several lads have broken calves to harness and rigged up little carts, in the seats of which they will photograph tourists for . fec. Hawkers peddle pennants, Stickcrs and postcards.
 The "show" begins. Chains are loosened, tho visitors ghuffle through turnstiles and pass In two streams around both sides of Q circular gale lery surrounding c grassy plays ground. A painted screen covers the windows facing the playground.
 There are the Ave little girls, cherubs in pink, yellow and green dresses of dimlty or voiic. They play with ono another, they swing from their gynanastic bars, they fell Into the wading pool, they pull one another around Q concrete sidewalk in little carts.
 They are completely oblivious of being watched by breathlcsB throngS.
 The line shuffles through, urged on by the voice of Constable Budkc, veteran of the "Mounties": "Tako a last look, now, and hop it!"
 Rushing Trade for Ollva A last look, and the pilgrims are out in tho sunshine again. They have seen the quintuplets. Many step across tho street and congre. gate in Oliva Dionneg new shop, where 10 clerks sell toys, animals, dolls, calendars, AShtrayB, picture mottog, birchbark and burnt-wood souvenirs, postcards and soft drinks as fast as they can handle them.
 Those who are lucky may find the famous father himself in a lite tle glass0d -oR private oiiice ct the rear, autographing postcards.
 Some go back through the line to sec the children again. one Arizona party passed through three times in one morning, regretful that after that the children were taken back into tho nursery and tho "show" was over.
 Everybody seems pleased, dee lighted, at the thought that he ac- tually has seen the quintuplets. A little old lady pauseg, eyes shining, as she leaves the gate. We drove 800, miles to see this. But, my graciousl It was worth itl" NEXT; First of four stories by Dr. Allan Roy Daf0e, qulntupIets' physician, revealing the program
