This is Joan's second appearance as a Forsberg-Coronet cover girl. The radiant expression she's wearing is completely genuine: when she posed for this painting she had just announced her own engagement. Queried as to when the wedding bells would ring, she said, "Well, why not Valentine's Day?" ARTICLES: INSIDE front cover: "An Illustrated proverb suitable for framing". From Victor Hugo.
