ow lovely and sweet a smiling girl looks, with dimples on her cheeks. Indeed, dimples add to a girl's beauty. Using the word as a verb, you can say, ''She dimples when she smiles." By the way, some boys and girls may even have a dimple on the chin.

A lake may also have dimples. It looks more beautiful when a gentle breeze blows over it, for then dimples are formed on its surface. Again you can use the word as a verb:" The breeze dimples the surface of the lake." But dimple in this sense is not so commonly used as the word "ripple."
