- The Cover — Tom loves Mary, and the young woman is not unaware of the attractive deportment and charming personality of her gentleman friend. To put this another way, an ardent suitor, trying to show himself off at his best, often looks pretty silly to everybody except the only one who matters. So we have love blooming on a Jungle Gym, without even the benefit of tender moonlight or a shy holding of hands—a good trick for even a resourceful Cupid like artist George Hughes. You needn’t shudder; Tom will not take a header. If his foot slips and he barks a shin or two, he can show his wounds to Mary every day and suffer a sweet convalescence. Eventually Tom will marry the little blonde (far right) who isn’t looking at him, and Mary will wed a chap from a town 600 miles away.
