Previously, when their nurs- es cut out small pieces of colored paper in the shape of houses, roofs, mals, and asked the Quints to paste them together, the results were amusing, to say the least. But now windows are on houses instead of off in space and cows lie under trees instead of in the branches.
 The Quints, in other words, are developing a fine sense of the fit- ness of things.
 As to department, the best way to describe the Quints is to say that they are good-but not gocdy -goody girls. Zestful, full of life, mis- chievous, the sisters are at the same time tractable, eager to please and quick to cooperate as they go through their routine of play. study, religious activities and health care. Playing at Work
 The Quints love games, and some of their duties which otherwise might be considered chores become play. Nowhere is this fact more evil dent than in connection with care of their teeth. The Quintuplets are not afraid of their dentist
 Dr. Arnold D. Mason. Dean of the Toronto University Dental Faculty, got a rousing reception when he came to the hospital re- gently to take the Quints' annual , dental impressions. He made a game of the task of looking into their mouths with his little mirror, and the girls loved the nice, warm piece of wax which he popped into their mouths, and on which they could bite down hard and make themselves look puffy and horrible in the mirror.
 The Quints' teeth are now per | fectly sound, with not single trace of decay in any of them. Cecile and Emile have a slight narroWness in the dental arch, but this is being corrected by oral exercises.
 Finances Well Guarded
 All of this emphasis on the care of the Quints' health does not mean | that their financial affairs are being neglected. The girls estate now amounts to about $6OO,0O0, all of l which is being guarded with utmost care to insure future financial se- curity.
 The Quints' income, coming mainly in revenue from movies, news pictures and advertising en- dorSements, is all invested in Ca nadian government bonds. The in- come from the investments is used to operate the extensive establish ment in which the girls live with their nurses, housekeepers and at tendants.
 There is another side, too, to the aura of happiness surrounding the Quintuplets. Not only have they Ihrived, and gained q goodly pro- | portion of the worlds goods, but they have brought prosperity to this region of the Canadian backWoods in which they were born.
 In many ways, they might be considered Callander's basic indus try" for most of the town is de- pendent in one way or another upon 1 their existence. Lumber used to be Callander's main business, but the timber is cut over and the saWmills have moved away.
 Now the population drives taxis. works in restaurants or operates tourist cabins for the thousands of visitors who come to see the Quints. Some estimate that as much as $5,- 0O00O is left in Canada every year by visitors.
