What’s In This Issue

* FICTION

50. A Letter to a Stranger (Part I) Elswyth Thane.
First of two parts. Maybe, like some of us, you’d rather save this and wait for next month’s installment and read the two together.

52. Kismet Margaret Cousins

54. The Horse with the Fancy Hat. Sylvia Dee
Leaves you wish a nice kind of feeling. Makes the world seem a pleasanter place.

58. The Letter William Brandon
Tricky!

62. You Tell Me. Adela Rogers St. Johns

64. Oh, Brave Old World. Robert Paul Smith

* ARTICLES AND FEATURES

8. Memory Lane. The Staff

13. Thumbing Through. Laura Z. Hobson
Now we’ll let you in on a secret. That Back Talk page we were running until last month wasn’t written by Felicia Quist at all. Or rather, it was, but Felicia Quist was none other than Laura Hobson.

14. Town Hall. The Editors

16. The College Quiz Bowl
See how smart you are! And please try to listen in to the radio program having the same title. Saturday evenings at 7:30, E. S. T.

56. I’m My Husband’s 2nd Choice Wife. Jean Lawrence Carr

60. Kid Sister to the Queen (Princess Margaret). René Lecler
There’s been so very much written on this subject that we haven’t been at all sure one more piece was warranted. Unless you ask for more, there won’t be any.

66. Mrs. Rodgers and Mrs. Hammerstein Joe McCarthy
On the other hand, here are two subjects not enough written about.

114. Assignment in Hollywood. Ruth Harbert

133-134 Are Storm Windows Worth the Money? Truman Henderson.
Many racketeers are in the storm window business. Don’t buy any storm window until you’re sure of what you’re going to get. This piece is intended to help you.
