breezy book in the acton library ruth and helen hoffman led a double life in the fullest meaning of the phrase the were twins with gay nostalgia they tell in this book of their adventures as children at their first jobs and finally travelling to france greece and italy very easy to read it has giddy illustrations which add to its pleas ant charm of course they find themselves in ridiculous situations and with amusingly odd people rather than overplay this natural aspect of thi dual autobiography they have rather underplayed it the humor is not forced in fact incidents could have been written in a more amusing way than lhe are gentlv amusing is the general rule heres a twins ce lew of thi world as described b the authors we learned the trick of taking different street cars to the tame place thus we a oided the staring the whispering behind hands and the questioning on the street we learned t walk with our noses in the air as if we were going somewhere in a hurrj sometimes one of us walked a few jards behind the other and so the flrn was likelv to be for gotten we thought bv the time the second one was seen but this only made people look at ns as if we were craiv and when neighbors ac cused us of being mad at each oth re we discontinued- the practice sometimes we each earned a book and read it as we walked we kne every curb bv heart and since we could sense the traffic at every neighborhood cross street it was unnecessary to take eyes from the pages we stopped reading in this fashion when people were more surprised to see a pair of twins reading when they were walking than simply to see a pal of twins advertisement just for you we ve got a picture that is jus for you our customers because its the kind of entertainment that just for everybody its the new
