Storyline

Miss Ida May Harper, of Smallsville, yearns to go to New York City, and experience the good times to be had there, as told in the letters her NYC friend writes to her. She gets into the local social whirl and ditches her boy friend, Joe Pond, who works at the drug store, because he doesn't dress swell. Joe buys a copy of The Book of Charm, and sets out to impress her. Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
