Personal Love v1 #5
This issue contains the story "Stolen Romance," in which a woman named Joyce who enjoys flirting with men and taking them away from other girls learns a lesson when she pursues a man named Lee, only to discover that another woman named Beth also has romantic designs on him. When Joyce attempts to manipulate the situation by inviting Lee to a party without telling him it's an invitation, Beth unexpectedly arrives with Lee, forcing Joyce to confront the consequences of her own game-playing. The story continues with complications arising from Joyce's scheming, including encounters with Paul and Mr. Grimes, ultimately teaching Joyce that her manipulative tactics lead to romantic failure rather than victory.
