Dionne quintuplets on the eve Of their
2nd birthday anniversary.

that even now they still present identi-

between us, DR.. Dafoe answered some
questions.
First are the quints backward In
speech?
NO" said the doctor. Plenty Of
children don't really begin to talk
until they are getting on 8. Some
times even older than that. On the
other hand, some children are talking
well at 2. These youngsters say
Mama. Papa and Doctor, and they

well, I talk little French at
them" he said, chuckling, but my
French isn't much"
On Par With Average Children.
Can the quints now be called nor
NAL physically and mentally?
DR.. Dafoe made careful answer:
premature children are hardly ever
quite normal until they are or 4
years old. The quintuplets are ahead
OF their age in some respects, behind it
in others. They are pretty well on a
par with average 2-year-olds. That
goes for both physical and mental
development. You can certainly say
that their progress has been every
thing 1 expected"
Would the doctor say the precious
five have an excellent chance Of hy-
ing to womanhood?
Under present conditions. yes"
said DR.. Dafoe. "Of course. you never
can tell. One or two might die even
yet. II we can keep communica bic
disease away from them until they are
IL or so. so much the better for their
chances"
Would DR.. Dafoe comment on the
opinions of phychologists-say on the
contention that the quints should be
separated and brought up in different
families; or on the prediction that
they will grow up to be heart-breakers
and old maids, and should have some
little boys to play with?
If answered the psychologists, I'd
be talking all the time" he said.
Would he outline plans for their
education?
DR.. Dafoe would not.
