Brenda Starr #14

Brenda Starr, ace reporter, becomes entangled in a romantic triangle when she plans to marry timber magnate Timber Woods for a story, but he genuinely falls in love with her and proposes. Meanwhile, a mysterious man named Basil—described as not a "phantom" but a man of action—also competes for her affections, claiming he cannot be with her because he is not good enough. Brenda eventually chooses neither suitor, instead going on a date with Tommy, a schoolteacher, to a carnival, where she encounters her rival Louise and Tommy's disapproving friend Nancy, creating further romantic complications.
