Romantic Adventures #39
The issue opens with a wedding story in which Elizabeth flees the altar and Dan Cupid helps mend her broken heart in a rollicking romance set in spring. The main feature, "The Art of Flattery," follows Hank and Elaine as they attempt to win over Hank's stern, wealthy father Mr. Morris by using subtle flattery and careful maneuvering, ultimately earning his respect and approval for their planned marriage. A second story involves a woman with red hair who receives a visit from a man named Luke Manners, who insists on discussing her late husband Philip and becomes strangely determined to take her out, though she struggles with lingering feelings for her deceased love.
