Popular Romance #13

This anthology issue contains multiple romance stories. The lead story follows a woman who rushes to the hospital during labor while her husband Rick is away, and she blames herself for their son's death during delivery, though Rick insists the fault is his own—their marriage is strained by grief and mutual blame. The issue also features "Love Hints," a advice column addressing relationship questions such as whether opposites attract, the wisdom of long engagements, whether men love as deeply as women, and how to overcome past loves. A third story depicts a couple named Rick and Terry whose relationship deteriorates due to financial stress and broken promises, with Rick increasingly distant until Terry finally confronts the growing distance between them, leading to a tentative reconciliation.
