The stories

“The Man For Me!”

As a receptionist at a local health club, Linda sees many athletes and actors and even dates many of them. But she finds herself attracted to the least handsome fellow at the club. The other girls tell her that she is just trying to prove that looks aren't important, but is really seeing him more out of sympathy than love.

“The Moon And You”

Martha and her cousin Doris had been brought up together after Doris' parents died when she was three. Doris was back from New York where she worked as a model in cosmetic ads. She gives Martha advice on falling for a rich man like the author she just met instead of the illustrator she had been seeing previously. Martha thinks she's found real love with the author until she goes for a walk and sees him kissing Doris.

“Here In His Arms”

Jerry and Pam met in their junior year at Claymore and fell in love. But Pam's father breaks the news that his business reverses have been severe and he won't be able to meet her expenses for her last year. Pam decides to apply for a scholarship and has three weeks to prepare for the exams. She isn't worried about the snobs, but had doubts about Jerry's reaction to the news.

“... But Will He Propose?”

Mary was a waitress in a college town. She never had a dateless evening, but never felt love for any of the guys she went out with. Her roommate warns her that the boys there aren't serious about a working girl and will only marry college girls. When Mary meets Ned, she thinks he is different, but he seems reluctant to have her meet his parents.
