Yvonne, too, has those long, movie-star eyelashes, though mascara has not yet been introduced in the Dafoe Hospital as a beauty aid.

Every day, except in the most bitter of the northern wintry weather, these five carriages, each containing a quintuplet, stand outside the Dafoe Hospital at Corbeil, Ontario, while the infants enjoy the crisp, health-giving air. Always on watch over the famed babes is Bucky, Nurse Louise de Kiriline's husky dog. He’s the pet of the whole household, and he knows his importance.
