An Interesting Visit To The
Quins
Mr*. W. G. Duggleby of Albany
recently was a visitor in Canada,
and was one among the thousands
of tourists who called at the home
of the famous Dionne Quintuplets.
In speaking of her visit, said that in
Callender, she found a little town
that had grown up like a mushroom,
following the advent of the quints,
in whose name everything is com
mercialized. The home of the little
girls is about a mile from Callender,
the Dafoe nursery and play-yard on
one side of the road, Doctor Dafoe’s
home, that of the Dionne family and
several shops, on the otluu'. Mrs.
Duggleby and her party did not see
the family of the famous little girls
but were interested in the two-room
shack in which the babies were born
and in improvements which include a
new roof and several additions. In
the shops one may buy pictures,
stories and literature about the
quints, and other souvenirs marked
with the Callender name, for all of
which, according to Mrs. Duggleby,
the tourists pay dearly.
Mi’s. Duggleby tells that the day
of her visit, as every day, there were
thousands of visitors, and cars from
every state in the union. Directed
by traffic policemen, the drivers
park their cars and form in line to
see the quintuplets. Visiting hours
are 10 o’clock in the morning and
2:30 in the afternoon, when the lit
tle girls are in their play-yard. Steps
lead to a platform built around the
sides of the yard. A thick, sound-
proof glass conceals the visitors
from the eyes of *the youngsters, hut
enables the tourists to watch the
live little sisters at their play. Mrs.
Duggleby found it difficult to heed
the policeman’s commands to keep
moving, even though she understood
that this was necessary with thous
ands of visitors there on the same
mission. There is no charge for ad
mission.
Mrs. Duggleby said that the little
girls behaved quite like other chil
dren, each one characteristically
wanting another's toys. One of the
little girls was busy with a low
wagon, two of them were playing
tea party and the other two interest
ed in a shaggy toy dog. Mrs. Dug
gleby noticed how the nurses are
teaching the children to be unselfish
and to care for themselves. Gently,
one of the nurses eased the small
dog away from the child who held
it and slipped it behind her, where
the other little sister grabbed it and
scampered away. She stumbled and
fell but hurriedly picked herself up
and continued about the serious
business of caring for her newly ac
quired doggie.
The little girls were dressed in
dainty frocks, made alike, but each
in a different pastel shade. White
. unbonnets shaded their faces from
ha sun.
“What was your most vivid im
.ession of the quins?” asked the in
quiring reporter.
Mrs. Duggleby replied without
hesitation, “the fact that they start
ed life under such handicaps and are
now so strong and sturdy, as brown
as little biscuits.”

Month’s Best Gags: A backwoods
mountaineer, finding a mirror a
tourist had lost, looked into it and
exclaimed, “Well, if it ain’t my old
dad. Never knew he had his picture
took!” Then, sneaking into his
home, he hid the mirror in the at
tic, but his furtiveness didn’t escape
his suspicious wife. That night,
while he slept, she crept up to the
attic, looked in the mirror and ex
claimed, “So that’s the old hag he’s
been chasin’!”
