Lovelorn #42 This anthology issue contains at least two stories. "Kayo Kisses" follows Dot Hanley, who falls in love with a boxer named Rocky Morrison after meeting him at a college spring prom, only to discover that his violent career in the ring conflicts with her dreams of a peaceful domestic life. The second story chronicles a woman named Grace who uses a "helpless" technique to manipulate men, including donating blood to attract a man named Paul at a hospital, but ultimately finds herself used and discarded when the men lose interest once she no longer serves their purposes. A third story appears to involve a woman named Valerie Stone who becomes a successful model and businesswoman, discovering that her beauty has tripled soap sales when her picture is used in advertising.
