THE ANGEL'S TOUCH
(Copied.) ! An angel about to leave the world s^aw a child sleeping in some long grass. "What a lovely child!" exclaimed the angel. "Surely it must have been stolen from heaven." And to make quite sure that the little one really belonged to the earth, and that its body was made of perishable stuff, the angel, with two fingers of its divine hand, touched the baby cheeks. He touched them quite close to* the mouth on each side of the lips at the place where ends the circle of smiles. Then, reassured, the angel said: ' ■ , „ "The child is really human after all," and, leaving the child alone, the angel flew away. But where they had rested, his fingers had left their prints. That is why, my daughter,- on each side of your cheeks, when you begin to smile, two little dimples appear. Found by "MISLETOB FAIEY." Petone.
