Here’s a quick 2 page short story that was published in the October 1963 edition of Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a fun read that takes us back to a simpler time.
Readers of mid-century magazines would typically find short stories among the pages of their favorite magazines. They would range from a few pages to several pages that were spread throughout the issue. The short stories always included drawings from talented illustrators. The untypical 2 page short story featured here by Irene Foster includes a 1/2 page illustration by Irene Preveden.
