MANHATTAN, A GREAT DAY FOR TWINS, little daughter and I saw at Broadway and 86\h Street to-day @ pair of engaging twins dressed in green. They were interesting " and we were speaking of them when a moment later in the next block we saw another pair of twins gazing into a shop window, these also dressed in green. We had to laugh in the next block, for hero again we saw a third pair of twins dressed magnificently in gray krimmer coats and caps. The collector's fever possessed us then and we walked on looking for more twins. Sure enough, in the next block we saw twin girls dressed in navy blue with bobbing red pempoms. Pour pairs of twins in four blocke! But our day of seeing twins was not ended. We saw another pair at 72d Street, this time fn Alice blue! Welch, No. 158 West 76th Street. IT’S A BEAR!
