# Fifteen Love Stories, March 1954
This 25-cent issue contains ten short stories focused on romantic relationships and obstacles to love. Featured stories include "Adventure in Love" by Francis Flick (describing a romance fated by astrology), "A Man for Maggie" by Dorothy Brodine (vacation romance), and "Forget My Dreams" by Nicki Stevens (a woman haunted by her past). Other narratives explore rival lovers, couples separated by circumstance, and obstacles overcome through commitment. Stories with mundane settings predominate—"Let Me Call You Baby" concerns a milkman's romance, while "Stop-and-Go Heart" involves a policeman.
The issue includes advertisements for personalized lingerie, car repair guides, and the Dr. Philip's ceramic-filter pipe ($4.50–$5.50). Regular departments include "Cosmetic Cues" by Linda (promoting Harriet Hubbard Ayer's Apricot Cream, Tussy lipstick, and other beauty products), "Helpfully Yours" advice column, poetry, and a preview of the May issue's featured serial "Thoroughbred Heart" by Helen Erskine, set in horse-racing circles.
