- Synopsis
- Readers write in with their opinions on "dutch treat" dates (where boys and girls each pay equally).
The title and the masthead illustration are the same as in First Love Illustrated 14 (September 1951), but the "letters from readers" are different and this later version omits several smaller pieces of (Bob Powell) art, as well as the publisher's address and solicitation of additional reader comments on the topic.
