Synopsis: | Jennifer Goodall's fifteen-year-old daughter, Nancy, is curious about her mother's romantic life before her marriage. Together they look through Jennifer's old scrapbook, and Nancy asks her mother how a girl can tell when she meets the right man. Jennifer tells Nancy about some of the men who were in love with her seventeen years ago, when she was nineteen. There were six altogether, ranging from a Harvard boy to the middle-aged head of an advertising agency, and for a while Jennifer was completely puzzled as to which of her six pursuers she really loved. Her coquettish adventures lead her parents, her suitor and herself on a gay chase, but at last she is able to decide, and in an epilogue full of delightful suspense, we finally learn who her choice was-and of course it's the right one. | |||||

Synopsis: | Corliss Archer, going on sixteen, is a trial to her family and at the same time a pure delight. She can't stand not being grown up, and when Private Earhart is entertained by the Archers, Corliss plays the young lady and almost precipitates a catastrophe when she considers it a point of honor not to give away the secret that Mildred is the girl her brother Lennie has married. It started when Mildred and Corliss sold kisses for charity and Mildred was accused by the Archers of being a bad influence. This led to complications that seemed serious to the parties concerned, but are delightfully funny to others. Meantime, Lennie became engaged to Mildred in spite of the feud between the Pringles (Mildred's family) and the Archers, and Corliss had to be let in on the secret. That was nothing compared with what happened when the Pringles, on what seemed good evidence, gleefully informed the Archers that Corliss is going to have a baby. As a matter of fact it is Mildred who is in that situation and Corliss, sworn to secrecy, will not speak. This being so, the Archers and Pringles take Corliss' silence as an admission of guilt. Not until the very end is Corliss cleared. (Suggested alterations in the text are included.) | |||||
