TWINS MINDS
SISTERS THINK, ACT, AND
DRESS ALIKE
An extraordinary sequence ,of identical thougliio and actions by twin sisters even wlun tliey are apart was revealed by one of them, Miss. Elsie Hnrrop, of Hooton .Hail, Rotherham (states the “Daily Mail”). The coincidences have reached a curious climax. The twins, who are . blue-eyed blondes so alike in appearance that it is difficult to distinguish between them, are to have husbands o>f the same name. One sister, Hilda,; is already married to Mr James Thompson, of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and the other Elsie, will shortly marry Dr. Janies Thompson of Glaisgow. Miss Elsie Hnrrop said: “Ever since we can remember we have thought the -ame thoughts and done .the same hings. When we were , younger we both awoke trembling at 'the same nightmares. At school, where they allowed us to .sleep in the same bed, we found that our dreams were the same. - ■ ...
“When we got older and had boy friends we had great fun pretending that one . was the other. Once a boy vho kissed one of us tried to kiss the other later, and was surprised when his’face was smacked. Another time <vo changed coats, and the boy went ■ff with the other twin and never knew f he’ difference.
Although we did not know at the ‘■ime, our engagement rings are almost 'dcnticnl. We have always dressed dike, and even now, when liiy sister is living at Chesterfield we find that we wear similar clothes. A little while ago I bought a new coat, and when my sister visited ' us we , c ound that she had bought almost the same kind at about the same time. “A few days ago we learned that we had started to make a rug nil the same time, and both got tired Of doing it at the same time, and had.’b&th taken up cross stitchin" at the same-time. “We both like shooting, riding motoring, and both; decided to go to the sijme stay At' tbe same ...hotel, and do'-the same' things. . , , :
■Mv. father could never j apart apd niv brother used to call-us both; ..Elsie so that he would be'-sure sometimes to be right.” '
