This issue contains two stories. "Can There Be Happiness for a Substitute Wife" follows Jane, a clown's assistant who leaves the circus to marry Mr. Bartram, only to become a substitute for his ex-wife Laurie in his television work, creating tensions when his current wife Laurie grows jealous of their professional collaboration. "Wife in Name Only" tells of a woman who married a man named Russ solely to serve as a housekeeper for his children, though she harbored deeper feelings for him, and must confront the consequences when his former wife Lorna returns and complicates their arrangement.
