Sweethearts #64

1962-03-01 · 36 pages

A woman reflects on selling her family's farm and moving to the city with her husband Carl, who has secured a good job with a produce company, though they worry about affording their new apartment furnished on his wages. When Dorothy Wills invites the narrator to a beauty parlor, a car accident occurs in which the narrator is blamed; Carl becomes angry at her, and a police officer suggests she needs a spanking, prompting reflection on marriage dynamics and the proper roles of husbands and wives. The issue also includes "Martha Marsden Meditates," a text feature examining common marital advice and arguing that successful marriages require both partners to adapt their single-life habits rather than one spouse dominating the other.
