problema let me "ay a ghost" for those who have been assured that twins are difcult to raise be- cause they are bound to be dellcate.

Twins are usually small, though thậm does not mean that they will be un- healthy. They usually pick up weight very quickly and come on well with normal care.

Bmetimes, again, the mother is not sufficiently strung to nuran bath bables for long, but here again a litle nd- justment, is all that is needed to give both an equal chanco. And this is a subject on which I shall always be very pleased to give advice to all who care to write me,"

Then some mothers feel that they will never get round if they have to manago with twins, but I feel that their lot is much enter than that of the mother who has a baby and a toddler to manage at the same time. When the children are at the same stage the same routine sullta both, thus saving any complications.

As you tell me that your twins vary so much in character, I think that it would be a mistake to stress seir twinship too much when they begin to go to school

Brcing that one twin is a real "lom- boy" and much bigger than her more dainty Rister, it would be kinder to try to suit their personalities in their clothes, even if this means the sacri- fice of your pride in the twins.

After all, the happiness and weitaro of your children your Brot considera- tion, isn't it?

Much harm can be done by stressing n relationship in which aimilarities of taates and interests are not oppareat. especially when the children mix with others, who are not likely to spare

Unlovalar twins are about six times as murdmor na the binavular type; also the unlovular type are always of the same sex and resemble each other very closely in all particulara, including personal appearance.

TWINS run In familles, but they are ald gerally to occur in every second generation, so you cannot be at nil sure that these young people will have twin in their family, as they are the alternate generation.

There is no reason why this girl should be delicate funt because she is n twin, neither does this mean that any children of the marriage are likely to be delicate.

what is called a platonic friendship. She'll soon fhud out how wrong she When a girl I know said this isl to me I wondered, enn a man and a girl be interested in each other and keep their friendship non-emotional? Can I work?

Certainly, between a youngish man and a woman a lot older, yes. They can have a valuable friendship. But a man and a young woman, both i healthy and normal, can they have an interest in each other keep seeing each other with the same placidity of feeling? Many people think the Masi modern theory is absurd. psychologists would "take a kick" at the idea. They would probably quote Abraham Cowley, seventeenth cen- tury poet, who wrote in his "Answer to the Platonicks"---

So angels love; so let them love for me!

When I am all soul, such shall my

love to be.

That is an argument that is not casily answered,

The way I see it, a man and a girl may start out with a few common Interests and no thought in the world of a more than conversational friendship. But sooner or later one of them is going to change. And if the other doesn't? Say the man is the Brst tu be affected and the girl wants to be "Just friends"-it is n hundred to one he will get slightly "huffy."
