more of them Is below par, they haven't their normal resistant capa- city, and the result is irritation and unrest, fatigue and nervousness.
 Under those circumstances at once close the nursery grounds to all visitors. That Is the basic rule of the guardianship; to let nothing come ahead of the physical, mental and moral welfare of the little girls. I feel that the public understands, and people have usually been most gracious when disappointed.
 No Changes in Visiting Rules
 Today, the arrangements through which the public views the quints are satisfactory, to the quints them selves who are not troubled by 1t, to the public, and to the guardians. Whether this will be so a year from now remains to be seen. The quints will be older, and new arrangements may then seem advisable.
 But, the world being what 1t is, 1t is mere common sense to admit that these babes had no chance whatever from the moment of birth to lead @ completely private life. Judge Valin, my distinguished and revered fellow guardian, put 1t very well when he said, "These Ave beautiful girls have not been

brought into this world to be hid- den."
 Others Share Benefits
 Sturdy, hron2ed by the summer sun, the quints have benefited in- mensely from their fourth outdoor summer, and in addition, they have beneflted many others through their undoubted effect on child care in many far places. 1 am very proud of Q letter recently received from Q heroic woman of the James Bay region, 400 miles north of us in the tundra. Her child was born 6 year ago, Q premature birth. But, she wrote, she was able to save its life and bring 1t along into @ compara- lively healthy condition by follow ing the information gleaned from our reports on the care of the little Dionnes at birth and thereafter.
 Another letter came recently that made us very happy here at the nursery. It was from Q blind girl tn Pennsylvania, of whose visit to the nursery we knew nothing until we received her beautifully self-typed letter, full of courage and serenity.
 Y enjoyed my stay in your vil- lage more than any seeing person ever did," she wrote. T enjoyed be- ing able to listen to the many vivid descriptions of your little girls, and the kidness received was really touching"
 Such letters as hers show what Q remarkable inspiration our five lit tie girls have come to be to count less folk. ..

Members of the auxiliary of Cor poral Coyle post of the American Legion elected Mrs. May Birt prest- dent at a session held last evening in the Legion home. Miss Margaret Dillon presided.

charts, observed overnight that she had begun to run Q temperature.
 Others Catch Germs
 There was, of course, only one medical answer, and one that par ents would do well to remember, Emile must be put to bed, with com- plete quiet, and given q chance to rest. She remained there, perfectly happy, with one or two unexciting but beloved and familiar toys, for Q few days. She ate very lightly to correct the bowel condition which generally accompanies Q little cold, and then she was up again, com- pletely well, ct play with her sisters.
 As I expected, almost immediate ly all the others contracted the same minor malady. They had caught similar germs. And off they went, leaving Emile to play alone for 0 few days more. I suspect that if that same woman visitor had had peek into the playground then, she would have been even more tri- umphant, and been convinced as some were in the early days, that Q single child was being shown i've times
 Wild Rumors Rampant
 The incident of the colds did show once again the great interest and affection that exists for the children all over the world. My telephone rang constantly. Many calls were from distant cities, and two were from London in a single day.
 Many rumors flew about; the chil- dren were seriously i'll, they were Kidnapped, they had diphtheria, they had infantile paralysis. That last gruesome rumor was supported by the fact that there was 6 paralysis scare attacking one of our big Can- adian cities. But all our precious i've were out again in the sunshine, at play before the scare started. There was simply no con- nection.
 Crowds Affect Quints
 One other frequent question I would like to discuss: What effect do the crowds have on the girls? Right of, I would say that I have no doubt that the babies are aware, to some extent, of the crowds. But 1t is general, not particular. It is merely part of their existence like the sun in summer or snow in win- ter.'
 When the children are well, they pay no attention. But when one or

 Beginning to Speak FluentIy
 With the few months of summer their vocabulary has grown to ap- proxinateiy 200 words, whereas last May 1t was only about 90. All tho words of their ordinary vocabu- iary are carefully tabulated, and I consider that they are already talk ing very well.
 Because children of multiple birth are usually slow to learn to talk duently, l would be quite satis- fled If the quints should talk only ct the age of {. Since they are al- ready talking with Q daily-increas- ing vocabulary, and their songs and story.ganaes continually improve, I believe their progress along these lines is quite satisfactory.
 Another development of recent months Is quite marked - the rapidly increasing sense of possess sion. Since the beginning, the girls have had their separate racks and hooks for clothing, as much for the convenience of the nurses as for the children themselves. But now @ carpenter has just installed five sets of cuphoards for the children's toys and other belongings. For now the children not only want toys they want their own. One woody lamb used to be enough for the quin- tet. Now 1t looks as if we'll have to get five woolly lambs.
