How Would You Rate Your wifeY

In the Woman's Home Companion
occurs this account of plan that
raised mach discussion and more
money In the town whore 1t was tried:
"Two months in advance a date was
set for Wage day In our Sunday school
class. At that time every one was
asked to give one days wage, inclosed
In sealed envelope, without a name.
"The men had no trouble reckoning
the amounts they should give, but
their wives rated themselves in va
rlous ways. Some felt their work
worth as much as their husbands,
and gave the price of the average
wedding fee. One large woman whose
husband said she was worth her
weight in gold computed it at one
gold dollar per pound and divided II
by the number OF times he said It In
two months"

This concert will always stand in the
