TWIN GIRLS.
CHRISTENED AS BOYS
When twins wore born, Mr and Mrs S. H. Armstrong, of lloxham, England, wero told that they wero boys, and that as thoy wore delicate they should bo christened immediately. A minister performed tho ceremony and gave them tho names of Walter and Robert.
Later, however, it was discovered that tho twins were girls. Tho minister said lie could not repeat the ceremony. To get out of the difficulty lie added tho letter “a” to Robort, and gave them tho extra names of Ethel, and Edith. Thus the children, who aro now found to be normally healthy, will go through life named Roberta Edith and Walter Ethel.
