1952-12-01 · 37 pages

This anthology issue features "Man of My Dreams," in which a woman named Peggy reflects on her romantic mistake of creating an idealized vision of the perfect man in her imagination. When she falls in love with Fred, a seemingly romantic and wonderful man, she marries him expecting him to be that ideal. However, their marriage proves disastrous as Fred pursues an acting career in show business, leading to critical reviews and financial strain. After two months of turmoil, Fred leaves Peggy for another woman named Ellie, forcing Peggy to learn that dream men do not exist and real relationships require acceptance of imperfection. The issue also advertises additional stories including "The Breath of Scandal," "A New Beginning," and "Home Is Where the Heart Is."
