THE BIG STEP

Most romantic fiction ends with the hero and heroine about to marry and “live happy ever after.” The author of this unusual serial begins his story * with marriage and carries the romance for a period of several years into the realm of “double harness." Taking a' couple from the well-to-do scale of the Middle West social scheme, Mr. Webster uses them to bring out some of the important problems confronting a great many young men and women who enter the bonds of matrimony in these days of equal suffrage, of women who’d rather work downtown than, stay at home, and of new complications in the business of raising a family. “The Real Adventure” is thoroughly alive with action. You will enjoy the story not only for its romance but for the element in it that will make you think —and ponder the Intimate happenlngsin your own family and In the, families of your neighbors.
