☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"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.
A girl decides to focus on developing her personality over her looks, inspired by a library book about inner beauty—just as a talent scout from a major film studio arrives at her door. When she refuses to primp for the handsome visitor, insisting her mind should speak for itself, she quickly learns that first impressions matter more than she bargained for. Mopsy discovers that confidence and character are great, but sometimes timing is everything.
Mopsy navigates a day full of misadventures and witty comebacks—from dealing with overeager suitors at the Elite Cafe to borrowing basics from neighbors and finding herself in increasingly absurd situations. The fast-paced vignettes showcase her clever tongue and unflappable attitude as she moves through each comedic predicament. A lighthearted romp through the romantic and social mishaps that come with being a sharp-talking teenager in 1956.
Kitty's excitement about her first date with Wally turns to suspicion when she discovers what appears to be a love poem in his dropped book—but a case of mistaken identity and a borrowed classic send her on a wild chase through the school's dating scene. As she plays matchmaker in revenge, Kitty learns that sometimes the poem you're looking for was written for you all along.
