m Double
’_ ‘ u Win-y Cor Window.
. Curious things are sometimes do
Voloped by double reflections in the
presence of plenty of glass to keep
. up the reflection. This is what a
woman saw a few days ago as she
sat in her car in the Grand Central
‘ stuttion waiting for the train to pull
‘ on :
0n the left or her train, and very
. olosotoit. was a second train. The
‘ Into of her own car had the usual
red plush cushions, and those in the
other were bright blue. At the right
of the Observer, and in the same car,
,. ’ sat a young woman lounging care
lessly back and reading a magazine.
The observer looked out through the
p window on her left into the corre‘
_' spending car of the other train.
There was also a young woman lolL
ing back on the blue plush cushions
and reading a magazine. A moment
,hefiore the seat had been empty.
The observer was struck by the
resemblance between this young
woman and the one at her right.
She looked across her own car. It
wigs the same young person, but the
onein her car was actual, the other
was the reflection. Yet the reflected
figure sat not in a red plush seat as
the former did, but on the actual
blue plush seat with which that car
was furnished. ' Yet the figure
seemed perfectly solid, and no
glimpse of the blue plush was seen
where the shadow body touched the
seat.
As the curious observer looked two
men came into the empty car and
seated themselves in the very seat
occupied by the half reclining figure.
The first man slid over toward the
windOW without disturbing the re-
flection. The second one sat down
mmly where the girl was sitting,
here was the strange part of it.
The figure showed no signs of disap-
pearing, and there was then present-
ed the figure of the young girl lean-
ing back and calmly reading. with a
man sitting solidly on her lap and
leaning forward.
And the reflected figure of the girl
was just us cloal ‘ and distinct as the
real figure of the man. Below the
seat both the real and unrczil worn
greatly mixed. It was it confused
minglingot‘ trouser cloth and skirt
cloth. The two bodies scomod actu-
ally occupying the sumo spot-o.
It was thoroughly pcrph-xing. and
the woman was glad when tlu- train
slid away and tho picturi- dissolvod.
