This issue contains two main stories. "One-Sided Love" follows a young woman who believes she has found her ideal match in a charming man, only to discover that courtship differs greatly from married life, particularly when faced with the financial responsibilities and family dynamics of building a home together. "Come Back, My Darling" depicts a working woman named Linda and a man named Marty whose relationship develops through their professional interaction in the office, leading to romantic prospects and dinner plans. The issue also includes a advice feature cautioning girls about the realities of marrying "Prince Charming" and the importance of understanding a suitor's family obligations and moral character before commitment.

A young woman named Sally has harbored secret feelings for Paul, the boy she believed to be her cousin, for years—but when she learns he's actually been adopted, the truth about their connection changes everything. As Paul struggles with his lukewarm relationship with Laura and begins to suspect Sally's true feelings, Sally must grapple with whether to finally reveal the love she's been hiding all along. When the moment of truth arrives, both discover that what they thought was forbidden may have been meant to be all along.

Believe In Me

When Linda starts work as her father's secretary at his textile mill, she catches the eye of two ambitious young men: Marty Owen, her father's star salesman, and Eddie Miller, a designer with fresh ideas. As both vie for her affection over the following months, Linda must untangle her feelings and discover which man's interest in her is genuine—and which one is really just after a promotion. A charming 1959 romance about learning to trust your heart when the truth isn't what it seems.
