Love Story Magazine Illustrated
This issue of *Love Story Magazine* (November 28, 1925) is a weekly publication from Street & Smith featuring romantic fiction. The cover story, "On Love's High Altar" by Violet Gordon, depicts Sybil, an athletic young woman in hibiscus-red dress who becomes engaged to Harry Barstow beside the wistaria at the country club after their first kiss. Social antagonist Mrs. Aaron Wayne observes the engagement with disdain. The magazine contains two serials: "The Wall Between" by Victor Thorne (Part Three of Four) and "The Scarred Heart" by Ruby M. Ayres (Part Four of Six). Additional content includes short stories by Charlotte E. Lewis, Ethel Donoher, and Georgette MacMillan, plus poetry from Amy Rann Bradley and others. An advertisement for the McGowan Marcelling Cap—a patented home hair-waving device marketed at $2.87—dominates several pages.
