When Mrs. Greensleeve first laid eyes on her baby she knew it was different from the other children. " What is the matter with it?" she asked. The preoccupied physician replied that there was nothing the matter. In point of fact he had been admiring the newly born little girl when her mother asked the question. " She's about as perfect as they make 'em," he concluded, placing the baby beside her mother.
