 Just a Game
 By this time the quints have grown accustomed to being photo graphed and have developed a game with the lights. When they come

into the nursery, the first thing they do is rush to the switches, turn on the lights and then rush to bask in the lighted area.
 They also play another game with the lights, which are on standards with mounted wheels. When Davis finishes shooting, they rush to the lights and wheel them out into the hallway, where they leave them for photographer to put away.
 If Yvonne is the tragic actress of the family, Marie is fast develop ing into the teams comic. She takes delight in such puckish tricks as pulling her hat down over her eyes and looking around at the others for laugh |. which she gets. Temperament Too
 In typical manner, Yvonne re- gently developed temperament, Davis reveals. She had taken so many leads in the Mother Goose playlets that she began to think she could lead in everything.
 When the quints go to their din- ing room, they take turns being first because the first one in holds the tray for the others and says grace. This is done to develop equal lead- ership. But Yvonne began to rush in first, all the time. Three meals by herself-cured her. Now she con- fines her leading to the stage"

When 1t comes to acting, Yvonne is the Bernhardt of the quints.
 "She's so good" says Fred Davis, the photographer who has pictured the famous five from birth, that the other children sit down like an audience to study her performances. And then-like the fans of any other star-they try to initiate her.
 "In fact, the surest way to get the quints to raise their hands or do something else is to teach Yvonne to raise her hand. And when she won't do something, good night! The others won't either" Fortunate ly, she spares the photographer more gray hair by cooperating beautifully.
 Thespian Turn
 The lies of the quints took a Thespian turn when NEA Service began publishing the charming series of Mother Goose" pictures currently appearing every Saturday in the Waterbury Democrat which were taken by Davis.
 In preparing for these pictures, the quints go through almost the same steps that other actresses do in getting ready for performance
 They are taught the jingles by their nurse," Davis reports, and the story is then discussed and ex- plained. When the children have the story down pat they are dressed in appropriate costumes and are taken to their nursery.
 "There they begin to play-a re- enactment of the Mother Goose story. Their nurse guides their play ing in such a way that they form the necessary groupings. And as they play, keep shooting pictures.
 "The whole thing usually takes about 30 minutes and rarely ex- ceeds 45. make several shots of each scene and spend days and days preparing single story series" Fun-and Work
