Aunt Debbie, Roger's aunt and guardian. Vikki Hoyt, troubled young bride. Soger Hoyt, happy-go-lucky groom. tjiwwem of me (i/mew n/cmcm ? lishment — a place more in keeping with the sort of life she's used to, and with the budget she's planned. And although she agrees to live there, the house is one of those points on which she and Roger will never think alike. Another such point is Pamela Towers. Contrary to all her instincts, Vikki tries, sometimes, to be more like Pamela — to have a reckless, devil-may-care attitude— because she knows that Roger admires those things in Pamela. But each try is a dismal failure. And Roger, in his great love for his young bride, tries in turn to play the role of a practical small town family man. But his temperament rebels; he -finds himself growing more dissatisfied, remembering more of what Pamela said to him before he was married. "We're cut of the same cloth, you and I, shiny silver stuff — the stuff that dreams are made of." "And Vikki?" Roger had asked, amused. "Vikki? She's cut from checkered gingham, like the curtains at a cottage window. Not your type!" Roger had laughed at her — then. Now he's not so sure. Often nowadays, he finds himself turning to a willing Pamela for understanding! So — as every woman must — Vikki faces problems in her marriage undreamed of in courtship. The problem of money, the big house. The problem of difference in tastes, in way of life, between her and her husband. But largest and darkest of all looms the problem of "the woman" — the problem of Pamela Towers. Pamela,-so like Roger, always understanding him, always sympathizing with him. Pamela, eager — as Roger is — for adventure, excitement, for living life to its fullest without regard for the consequences. Surely, of all the problems, Pamela is the greatest threat to Vikki's happiness, to her Marriage For Two itself. How shall she handle it? What is the wisest course — and why?
