Popular Love, May 1945

Popular Love Magazine, May 1945 This issue contains the complete romantic novel *Lady of the Midnight Sun* by Georgia Craig, in which Eve Marshall flees heartbreak in Florida to Alaska, only to find love pursues her. Three short stories accompany it: "Price for Love" by Lily K. Scott (about Lallie Thomas and tragedy), "Seeds of Romance" by Hope Campbell (featuring Carrie Stephens and factory work), and "Love Like the Mountains" by Ann Spence Warner (Meg's resistance to building marriage on illusion). Special features include a numerology reading by Sylvion analyzing April-born women as loyal, hardworking Number 4 girls—realistic, detail-oriented, but prone to over-serving others and requiring assertiveness in romance. The issue also includes "War and the Woman" (home front news), correspondence column "Yours Truly," and miscellaneous poetry and advice. Standard wartime advertisements promote hospitalization insurance, radio training, music lessons, and Eveready batteries (with appeals to patriotic shortages).
