A big Prize,

When l was young girl Of 1s
years was rather large for my age
and sensitive and self-conscious. I
lived In a town where church sup
pers were often given for enter
tainment aud money-makins.
One evening box supper was
sivcn. each girl bringing a box. and
each man was supposed to buy a
box. Imagine my surprise and en-
barrassment when II was an-
nounced the girls were to be
weighed and the men to pay so
much per pound for whatever box
they had drawn.
l was game enough to be
weighed but cried bitterly when
jokes were made. My partner de-
clared my box of supper was worth
every cent he had to pay. My en-
