Comment:	First story: Suzie wants a swimsuit but doesn't have enough money, so she goes to work in the place selling it. Humorous disaster follows. Suzie Puzzle Page. Next story: Suzie goes to work for a screwball inventor. As expected, everything that can go wrong does, and all in humorous fashion. Next story: Ferdie works as a detective for a woman having a party. Incompetency is his password and a string of funny things happens. Next is a story starring Katy Keene. Katy has won a pin-up contest and gets to choose some clothes but she can't seem to make up her mind what she wants. Meanwhile her little sister goes to see some movies. Suzie's Movie Diary: news from Hollywood. Suzie, the Carpenter: Ferdie and Suzie are to help a guy build a doghouse, paint a floor in a house and wallpaper a room. Total disaster once again and again quite funny. The next story has Ferdie ending up boxing a champion and running away as fast as he can.
