Love Story Magazine

Love Story Magazine, September 19, 1925 This weekly pulp publication features serialized romance fiction alongside shorter stories and poetry. The lead continued installment is Ruby M. Ayres's "Is Love Worth While?" (part three of four), followed by "A Waif's Wooing" by Vivian Grey (part two). The novelette section opens with Edith Sessions Tupper's "The Secret of the Old Inn"—a detective tale featuring a burned-out New York police operative named Kennedy ordered to vacation in rural Palmota. Seeking the restorative sound of running water to combat insomnia, Kennedy travels to a mysterious old inn built partially from materials of a historically disreputable building where a peddler allegedly was murdered. Additional stories include "Moonflowers and Morning Glories," "Where Beauty Lies," "Spook Lore!," and "The Sincere Heart." A "Love Talks" advice column by Helen Roberts addresses readers directly on domestic matters. Poetry and promotional content preview forthcoming serials.
