years earlier than her brother Tom.
When Tom was ten years old she glo-
ricd because she was twelve. When
Tom was known to be fourteen, she
confessed to sweet sixteen. When Tom
proudly boosted OF eighteen she timidly
acknowledged herself past nineteen.
When he came home from college with
a moustache and Il vote, and had a party
IN honor of his twenty first birthday, she
said to her friends: what Il boyish
fellow he is; who would think he is only
year younger than II" Aud when
Tom declared he was twenty-five and
Old enough to get married, she said to
a gentleman friend, "Do YOU know l
tee! savagely jealous of Tom getting
married. But then | suppose twins are
always more attached to each other than
other brothers and sisters" And two
years later, at Toms wedding, she said
with girlsh vivacity to the wedding
guests, Dear old Tom; to see HIM
married tonight. and then think how.
when he was only five years old, they
brought him To see me, his baby sister;
wonder il he thinks of it tonight"
