 In apite of the invasion of their realm hy the five in Argentina. the Ulnnnes are stin the only identical Cufuts in the world. And they ARE Identical: outside their own imme- aiate family there is practically no ono who can tell them apart. Right Co the day he died, Dr. Allan Roy Dafne, the physician who brought them into the world. couldn't pick them. He could recognize Marie. but the other four all looked alike to him. They have always dressed an different colors to make identia fication easier, but they knew the doctor didn't recognize them other wise, and they loved to switch dresses and fool him.
 Even though they have been live ing normally with their family for the past two years, the Quints still act as q unit as against everyone else. They are normal, in that they quarrel, but these quarrels are very seldom among themselves.
 The Ouints DO speak English and with . delightful accent. They know over 400 words. Their conversational English has been retarded purely because their mother still doesn't understand it, and so it is spoken but seldom in the home.
 No, the Quintuplets haven't lost their looks or charm, as you often hear tell. It just appears that way in photographs because they all de- veloped 6 self-conscious shyness so that when photos are taken, they just "freeze up.'
 All five are bright in school, ex- ceiling in different subjects. Yvonne probably gets the best marks. Em- file is clever, but lazy. Things come to her too easily. Annette is the student, works hard. is consistent. She is the most musical of the five, played the piano by ear when she was six. Music teachers have hard time getting all five to read mu- sic. They all have such a good ear for . tune they can play 1t after hearing it once or twice. 50 why bother learning all those notes?" Emile asks.
 Marie has the biggest fan mall. She Is also the chariner when visi- tors come. It's unconscious with her. and this annoys Cecile, who thinks herself the personality kid. She tries too hard.
 Enilie is the comedienne and a great mimic. The others look to her to give impersonations of visitors as soon as they've left. and it's un- canny to see how she picks up ges- lures and peculiarities for her per- forTnance. Cecile is very observant of visitors clothes and criticizes them with all the confidence in the world. She is the one of five that tends to be a bit ''catty''.
 Yvonne has most influence with the others, and if there is a dif- ference of opinion, they do as she says. Annette Is the competitive one. gets upset if the others beat her. She is not . good loser. Marie, who has always been the slowest and weakest, makes up for these dee fAeiencies by being the daredevil of tW bunch.
 Many think the sixth Quint" is the best looking of the group-she is PauiiIie-eleven months older than they. but just about the same size. She Is in sharp contrast to theiP dark beauty, for she is a blonde wlfh fair hair. fair skin and dark eyes. Of all the family she Is elos- est to them and because she Is such an unusually lovely child, sometimes takes the spotlight away from them. They have all but adopted her into the lodge.
 Of their brothers and sisters, only the three oldest show any signs Of regarding the ouinss as different" This is because they, Ernest, Rose and TheFase. were old enough to be affected by the early quaFFels among the pressure groups that surrounded the Gnlnts until the last couple Of years, MF, and Mrs. Dionne do their level best Co keep the five from be- ina treated as different.
