Millicent Barnes waits for the bus to Cortland, only to find out that her double is waiting for it too. First the bus terminal attendant accuses her of asking when the bus will be in too many times, then checking her bag while asking about who it belongs to because it looks similar to hers, then the restroom attendant asks if she is okay because she was just in there.
Unfortunately, the police are called in to take her away because she spots herself already seated on the bus. In a neat twist, the compassionate young man, who these days would probably be a love interest (and might have been then, if she were sane), ends up getting his own mirror image, and chasing him down the street when the image takes his case from the floor.
The only strange thing is a “private secretary” (Ms. Barnes’ declared profession) in 1960 and she talks about alternate planes of existence and the like. That might seem a little odd. Still, a good tale, fairly well executed.
