TWO IN ONE. Doctors of C’olumhus, Ohio, are baffled by the case of a 19-years-old girl who, it is said, 'intermittently assumes the personality oi her sister, who died four months ago at the age of eight. The girl, Bernice Redick, does not assume the personality of her sister Polly as she was at the time of her death, but. as she was when four years of age. Bernice has no recollection of the periods during which she “becomes her sister,” but friends state that on these occasions she behaves and talks exactly as her infant sister used to do. As Bernice she is fond of needlework; n s Polly she tears her own work apart. A s Rernice she is fond of animals and flowers; as her sister she torments the one and destroys the other. On Alonday night when temporarily she was Polly she became unconscious and apparently on the brink of death. To-day she is up and about apparently in normal health. Bernice herself believes that the soul of her dead sister is trying to find sanctuary with her. She changes her personality without any warning and changes hack again again equally suddenly. !_> ir «^mienß.TMW | gagT»—»ng— 11
