BECOMES HER DEAD SISTER.
GIRL CHANGES PERSONALITY. Doctors of Columbus, Ohio, are baffled by the case of a 19-year-old girl who, it is said, intermittently assumes the personality of her sister, who died six 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 stale that on these oceaisons she behaves and talks exactly as her infant sister used to do. As Bernice she is fond of needlework; as Polly she Tears her-own work apart. As Bernice she is fond of animats and flowers; as her sister she torments the one and': destroys the other. On a. recent night, when temporarily she l was Polly, she became unconscious, and apparently on the brink of death. Next day she was 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; equally suddenly. 1
