And q smile of radiant beauty.

Like q ray OF golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.
No more was sad and lonely,
And gone were the shh lows gray,
For that smile OF friendly greeting
Had bRnlnhed the gloom away.

We find, for example In this lexicon. both

to warn the reader that the two words. having

Webster In preferring glare to glare. although
Skeat docs not recognize the former spelling as
permissible. In this dictionary, also, as we'll os
in Webster, we find goOi-bv preferred to good

not make the mistake made by Webster OF
