Intimate Love

    (Standard, 1950-1954)
™ and ©1954 Standard Magazines, Inc.

Standard stories of romantic complications interspersed between single page fashion and beauty tips, as well as the requisite text story and advice column, comprise the bulk of this title. The romantic complications range from simple, immature misunderstandings to memory-suppressed tragedies. Definitely a product of its times, the moral of these stories taught its generally female audience that true love will solve a multitude of life’s problems. Regardless of the severity of the dilemma, a happily-ever-after scenario could always be counted on in eight pages or less.
