Love Story, March 1, 1941

This pulp is done by the same company that did the Shadow pulps.

The pulp starts out with Love Story Notes, which is editorial bits and pieces of information like on fashions.

The Friend in Need: Sort of an advice column type of thing.

Southern Gentleman: “Are the days of chivalry gone forever? “

Too Glamorous, part 2: “How could Duane belong to someone else, Val asked herself, when his passionate kiss had been complete confirmation of his love for her?” I think the artwork of the women's faces is not very good in either of these two stories.

The Heart Knows Best: “She made up her mind not to fall in love with him but found that-”

There are also some short poems added at the end of some of the stories.

Career Girl's Men: Do girls who work for a living attract the best men?”

Hello, Temptation! “There is as much glamour in most offices today as there used to be behind the footlights.”

Debt of Honor: “Noreen and Raff determine to face whatever is ordained for them but, forever after, they would face it side by side.”

Then there's a comic book-type of thing called Ann Drews: Girl columnist. The second panel has the stereotyped drawing of a black woman like the one in Gone with the Wind, with language that matches.

Determined Young Man: “He talked his way into marrying the girl.”

Your Stars and You, an astrology section.

The Friendliest Corner: another advice column.

There are ads for Pepsi and Sen-Sen, among other things. There's a typical ad aimed at women: “Learn how to develop a beautiful form.” Oddly enough, there are ads for men, too. There's an ad for muscle building, and one for a “dynamic heavy duty industrial welder.” I have no idea why such ads are in a women's pulp, considering the times.
