By ROBERT F. YOUNG

A man under sentence of marriage would be lucky to have a girl like Julia assigned to him—or would he?
Robert F. Young works in a machine shop by day, and at night goes home and writes anti-machine stories! Pilgrims Project is different: not so much anti-machine per se, it is still a vigorous argument in favor of the individual human spirit and against standardization. It is also, of course, a thoroughly exciting story—with one of the most intriguing villains in all sf!
I'd like to apply for a wife, I said.
The Marriage Administration girl inserted an application blank into the talk-typer on her desk. Her eyes were light blue and her hair was dark brown and she was wearing a Mayflower dress with a starched white collar.
