Disclose Notes: Stylized signature has last name "Tewks" only. "Tewks" is William Tewkesbury, not Alberta Tews.

This story is introduced by "Mildred Norton." Sometimes the character is represented by the standard drawing (the one resembling Joan Crawford, which appears on the masthead on the cover) and at other times she is drawn by Tewks and doesn't look the same at all.

Bob's moustache comes and goes in different panels.

Disclose Notes: This story uses the same script as “The Dare She Took” in Complete Love Magazine (Ace, 1951 series) 31/1 (March 1955). In that version, however, the man at the end dies but the cause of death was a heart attack so the protagonist is still free of guilt.
