Naturally, we we're eager to play all the
games and do all the stunts that other lit
tie girls enjoyed doing. And after while
we managed to do fairly well almost any.
thing that any of our playmates could do.
Skipping rope was quite thing to accom-
plish, but we at last managed to co-ordi-
nate our four feet so that we became quite
expert in skipping rope. At hide and seek
we were certainly at a disadvantage. Most
Of the little hiding places that our play
mates could just squeeze into we're, OF
course. impossible for us to take advantage
of. So at hide and seek we always got the
worst OF II.
"But we found a way to climb trees, and
! rather think that here we had an ad-
vantage. Monkeys, you know, use their
feet as hands, and when they climb a tree
they really have four hands to climb with.
we found that with four hands and four
feet we could climb trees which many other
little girls could not.
"Of course. some Of the things which
bothered us in early childhood we have
overcome and do not mind them any more.
But there are some things that will always
bother us as long as we live. For instance.
no chair Is ever big enough to comfortably
seat myself and my sister. In a taxicab
or an automobile we must always take the
back seat. At dinner on board ship or
in a hotel we have to have two chairs set
up to the table for US. And then, as to
clothes, nothing on earth ever Ats us ex-
cept hats and shoes and stockings. Every
other garment Of every kind has to be
specially made for us. And it takes an ex-
ceptionally good dressmaker to make un-
derclothes or dresses or coats that look
like anything except big bags.
Fortunately, my sisters health and my
own is usually very good. But sometimes
one OF us is tired or has a headache and
then the other one has to lie down and
keep quiet for the sake Of the twin that is
not feeling well. 1t is very lucky that my
sister does not feel my headache or tooth
ache. Fortunately, when sister has indi-
gestion 1t does not bother me. There Is,
however, a portion of each Of our bodies
when II you pinch or stick pin in my
sister I feel the pain just as much as she
does. But this zone of mutual nerve SEN
sation is pretty we'll limited to the flesh in
the neighborhood Of where we are Joined
together"
Would you mind telling me little
more about your romance and how you
met Franz and how he courted you and
you were finally married."
"You see, Jose and l." Rosa responded,
lived on our fathers farm-oh, we have
a beautiful farm, gardens and flowers and
cows and hens and chickens. Oh, we had
everything over in what used to be called
Poland.
"One day when Jose and were walking
from our home town to the next to get
some cloth for a new dress, a big Russian
wolf-hound loped out of the woods and
made toward us. I started to run one way
and Jose the other-and that, of course,
meant that we necessarily just stood still.
That terrible dog came bounding on and
we were awfully frightened We thought
of climbing the nearest tree. We used to
when we were children. And all the while
the big, ugly looking dog was running
toward us and barking. We were near
fainting when a young man ran between
us and the horrid dog and scared him away
with his cane.
I'VE were so excited we hardly could get
breath to thank our rescuer, who had taken
off his hat and stood bowing before us.
Well, we finally recovered ourselves and
Jose who always seems to know what 10
do, said to the young man, We thank you
so much for saving US from harm Mt at
ALL said our rescuer. 1T is always a
pleasure to be Of service to handsome
young lady, ah-ladies-I mean lady of
"He was such gentleman-just like
some of the nobility we used to see ride
by our farm-that both OF us liked him at
first sight. think fell in love with him
on sight" Rosa confessed, naively.
