This is another pulp from the 1940's, although this one was produced during World War II.
As with other women's pulps I have seen, this one has some odd ads. The inside front cover is an ad for a billfold, and the next page is an ad about becoming a radio technician. Remember that, at the time, none of these were considered proper women's jogs.
An ad for Eveready batteries shows a guy working on a plane, and stamped on the plane is “Buy War Bonds.”
The stories include:
She wears two faces: “Can a young widow who has loved her husband to distraction ever expect to replace him in her life with another man?”
The Sailor's Wife: “What chance has love at first sight when a girl has to wait three years for marriage?” Note that this one is directly tied in to the war.
Love Me, Love Penelope: “It might have been easy for Jason if Penelope hadn't been an infant Atlas who could lick her weight in wildcats.”
One Loved a Soldier: “Officers were a dime a dozen in Candida's life. It took a private to win her heart.” Another story based on the war.
Then there's a couple of poems.
Don't Burn Your Bridges: “Every man ought to have a second chance to decide between glamour and a lifetime of love.”
Make Like a Siren: “Any Navy pilot washed up out of the sea onto a tropical island, straight into the arms of a beautiful girl, would think he was in Paradise.”
There's an astrology column entitled “Romance in your Stars”
