Summary: Main Fiction: "Wanted: A Wife" by Carlotta M. Hardy, first published in All Story Weekly, August 19, 1916. Narrator: Goldeen Ogawa. “I’ve got to have a wife inside of an hour.” “A wife!” she repeated in a bewildered voice, “inside of an hour!” “Precisely.” She stared at him, a shade in her candid eyes, a hint of something in her face that made him stare back. “Of course I haven’t known you long,” he stumbled on somewhat blindly, “but I wonder if—you’ll help me out.”
