HER REASONS FOR BLUSHING.

Between the friend-fiiled rows.

And Bob with whom she swan.
There's Jack-she used to golf with

There's Ted, the football man she
owned,
And Don of tennis days,
There's Hubert, yes, and blonde Eu-

THE UPWARD CLIMB.

Mary had a little skirt,
The floor it used to sweep;
But upward, we can see
This skirt of Mary's creep.
First we saw the tiny toes
Of slippers neat and trim;
Next we caught just a glimpse
Of ankles small and trim.
"Higher crept this little skirt
To top of Mary's shoe,
And then the feet of Mary
Came clearly into view.
And shorter still, inch by inch,
This skirt of Mary's grows
Till now We see a wreath
Of Mary's striped hose.
IF higher yet climbs the skirt,
The time will surely be,
When we can look at Mary
And see her little knee"
