"Mopsy," a story by Gladys Parker, follows a teenage girl who discovers that a boy she is interested in has asked her to meet him at the sundial while he writes love poems to another girl, leading to a dramatic confrontation where she learns of his deception and ends their budding romance. In a separate humorous story, a girl attempts various schemes to make her boyfriend jealous, including using a new perfume and slapping boys who don't compliment her, before she and her friend discuss relationship tactics at a social gathering. The issue also features a storyline about "Kitty," where a girl navigates school romance complications involving competing suitors and misunderstandings about dating. Additionally, there is a comedic segment titled "Mopsy" showing domestic mishaps when hot water runs out in a household, creating physical comedy situations.
