The issue also features comic stories, including one about a resourceful girl named Tizzie who earns money through baby-sitting, gardening, and running errands to buy contest boxes, with her secret money-making efforts eventually discovered. Additional content includes fashion spreads, advertisements for girls' sportswear and clothing, and product promotions aimed at the young female readership.
Polly and her friends discover an old trunk hidden in the attic filled with Civil War–era letters addressed to Miss Isabella Weaver, but their curiosity is interrupted by a mysterious stranger lurking outside the house—one who flees when Polly's dog Perky spots him. As Polly's father examines the trunk's contents, local girl Ronnie hints at a dark "curse" attached to the house itself, then abruptly leaves before revealing more, leaving Polly convinced there's far more to uncover about the connection between the letters, the stranger, and the town's troubling secrets.
Tizzie Wilkins becomes secretly obsessed with winning a breakfast cereal contest prize, frantically buying boxes and working odd jobs to scrape together entry fees for multiple contests. After days of cereal-fueled entries and mounting indifference from her worried family, the mailman finally delivers her prize—a goat—leaving Tizzie stunned and wondering what comes next.
