CHARACTERS - Binks and Jinks, two twin brothers who are to marry Ellen and Helen, also twins. Ellen and Helen tripped down the aisle of the church and seated themselves to wait the arrival of their soon-to-be husbands. "I wonder if Binks and Jinks know how much they look alike," exclaimed Helen, "I can hardly tell them apart." "That is what they say about us," answered Ellen. "But I don't think that we look much alike. If --" "Oh, here they come," broke in Helen, as the two lads stepped gallantly down the aisle toward their brides-to-be. "Come Helen," exclaimed Ellen, as the girls stepped toward Binks. "No," said Binks, "I am to marry her," pointing to Helen. "No I'm to marry you," answered Ellen. "I'm to marry him," broke in Helen. "Say, cut the comedy, I'm to marry Helen myself," blurted out Jinks. "Where do you get that old stuff?" hotly answered Binks, Helen's mine." "No you're to marry me," says Ellen, "aren't you?" "Yes, I'm --" "Say, am I to marry --" Jinks' exclamation was broken into by the voice of the minister who had waited a few minutes to let them settle the quarrel but had finally decided that he must act. "Which one are you?" hes asked Ellen. "I'm Ellen," she answered. "And which one are you to marry?" "Binks." Turning to the two young men the minister inquired as to their names. "I'm Binks and he --" "Well, you are the one. Just take this young lady's hand and step up to the alter," ordered the minister as he led the way. "I knew Binks was mine all the time," flung back Ellen as they stepped gaily down toward eternal doom. - Frank Frizzell Submitted by Earline Wasser
