"The Miracle!" with art by Art Peddy - A girl doesn't want her flower to die in the winter but her mean brother cuts it off and presents it to her. The child's mother doesn't want her belief in the power of love to be extinguished so she fibs to her that her corsage from the wedding never faded and asks the girl to place the rose in with the memento. Surprisingly, the rose does not fade. Plus: "Paddy and His Leprechauns!" with art by Sid Greene - When a man won't let Paddy marry his stepdaughter because he's got no money he goes for a walk in the forest to cool his temper. He lifts a large stone and tosses it from him as a workout. Beneath the stone leprechauns escape their prison and offer to help Paddy. When they accost the stepfather he thinks he'll get their gold when Paddy marries into the family so he accepts him as son-in-law. Paddy is so happy that he tosses the stone back over the hole and seals the leprechauns in.
