My Little Margie's Boy Friends #4
In "My Little Margie's Boy Friends," Margie becomes upset when a boy she's been seeing refuses to wear a sweater she spent two weeks knitting for him, calling it "the laughing stock of the prom." She vows to find another date and plans to attend a dance with a boy named Harvey, but her schemes to make her original boyfriend jealous backfire when he doesn't show up as expected. Later, when Margie runs into her girlfriend Hilda at the dance hall, they discover their boyfriends Corny and Herk are also there with dates, leading to various romantic complications and misunderstandings throughout the evening. The story concludes with scenes of Margie at home, where she and a friend encounter each other on a street at night before gathering at Hildegarde's house for dinner and sandwiches.
