Lad Kills Fattier for
“Good of Community'
This is not a series of discussions or essays
on the problems of wedlock. It is a series
of short stories, from three to six columns
in length; each with a plot, incidents and
characters, the same as other popular short
fiction of the day, and each written in the
best style of its author—good, lively, enter-
taining fiction—dealing with different phases
of the marriage relation. Some are gay and
some are grave, but each one is a work of
art. On account of its romantic and diver-
sified character, we have called the series,
“MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURES."
