"MY DEAR," said an affectionate wife, "what shall we have for dinner
to-day?"
"One of your smiles," replied the husband. "I can dine on that every
day."
"But I can't," replied the wife.
"Then take this," and he gave her a kiss and went to his business.
He returned to dinner.
"This is excellent steak," said he, "what did you pay for it?"
"Why, what you gave me this morning, to be sure," replied the wife.
"You did!" exclaimed he; "then you shall have the money next time you go
to market."
