HER EXCUSE.
She stood at the gate quite'free from sin, A blue-eyed maiden fair to see, " Oh, good St Peter, I want to come in. But I haven't a thing,to wear," said she. " So I observe," said the goodly saint, " But never you mind one bit, my. dear. You needn't blush or you needn t faint, The girls all dress alike in here." " But tSI me, how came yon in this sad plight?" The maiden sighed and she hung her head, While the pearly tears fast bed mmed her sight: " I died m my bathing suit," she said.
