But II seems as though the phrase may
have been literally true as applied TO Rosie
Dolly for she had lost not just a twin, but an
identical" twin, and according to the latest
scientific researches that is likely 10 be a loss
which passes normal understanding,
To many, the word twins suggests merely
two brothers, two sisters or a brother and
sister who were born at approximately the
same time and look alike. regardless of sex.
Scientists, for their part recognize two
kinds OF twins those that come from a single
egg or ovum, and those that come from two
eggs. The latter may or may not resemble
each other physically. may or may not be of
the same sex, and. in gerenal. except for hav-
ing been born close together in time. are no
different from any two children of the same
parents.
One-egg twins on the other hand are
never OF opposite sex, usually bear striking
resemblance TO each other and as a rule en-

The terms identical" and "non-identicsl"
are popularity used TO distinguish twins who

And there lies the possibility OF a tragedy
