ONE MIND

Twio Busters

An extraordinary sequence of identical thoughts and "actions by twin sisters, even when they are apart, was revealed to a "Daily Mail" correspondent' by . ono of them, Miss Elsie Harrop, of Rotherham. Tho coincidences have reached a curious climax. The twins, who are blue-eycf blondes, so alike in' appearance that it is difficult to distinguish between them, are to have husbands of the same name. One sister, Hilda, is already married to a Mr. James Thompson, of Derbyshire, and the Other, Elsie, will shortly marry Dr. James Thompson, of Glasgow. Miss ElsiiT Harrop told the correspondent:— Ever since we can a remember we have thought the same thoughts and done tho same things. When we wore yonger we both awoke trembling at the samo nightmares. At school, where they allowed us to sleep in the samo bed, we found that our dreams were the same. When we got older and had boy frieuds7wo had great fun pretending that one was the other. Once a boy who kissed ono of us tried to kiss the other later, and was surprised when his faco was smacked. "Another time we changed coats, and tho boy went off with the' other twin and never knew the difference. Although we did not know at the time, our engagement rings are almost identical. We have always dressed alike, and even new, when my 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 next visited us we found that she had bought almost tho same kind at about the same time. A few days ago we learned that we had started to make a rug at tho same time, had both got tired of doing it at the same time, and had both taken up cross stitching at the same time. We both like shooting, riding, dancing, motoring, and tenuis, and both dislike golf. Last summer, although wo were many miles apart, wo both decided to go to the same resort, stay.at tho same hotel, and do the same things.
