My Romantic Adventures #130
A man who desires a wife to care for the household eventually marries a woman named Elsa, but when he complains about her spending on clothes and suggests she stop working after marriage, she kicks him out, declaring she won't be his servant. After a chance encounter where they reunite in a car, he realizes how much he's missed her presence in his life, and they reconcile. In a second story titled "Make a Good Impression!", a man on a first date receives advice on how to impress a girl through proper dress, selecting a nice restaurant, and choosing the right conversation topics, leading to a successful evening and a promise of another date. A third story follows a man's recollection of a woman named Lottie from his past—a girl he knew in high school and college whom he could never forget—and how years later, when he achieves professional success, he recognizes someone who resembles her and realizes the "old magic" of that long-lost connection still holds power over him.
