THAT EXTRA TOUCH

Has it been your lot to meet,
One who's gracious, kind and sweet,
One who greets you on the street
With a smile?
Have you found a friend, impressed
Giving all at loves behest.
And who goes without request
One more mile?
Do you give that extra touch,
Prove a favor not as such,
But a pleasure wished for, much,
And worth while?
DO you add sweet grace and charm,
Lend refusals soothing balm,
Go in spirit, arm in arm,
One more mile?
'Tis the little acts, my friend,
Simple arts which ofttmes blend
Happiness with deeds and lend
Grace and style:
Wealth and fame are poor beside
Such a charm, and vain is pride,
Love will ever prompt and guide
One more mile?

covered that the man she loved had
lied to her.
She gave no sign, nor fiinched to

But it was a mortal wound ana as
soon as she could she stole away
somewhere and locked the door and
sat silent for long. long while. She

and never did-for such wound is

And secured a half-nelsen on old

On account of his artistic tempera-

And hereafter it's naught but the old
