Young Brides #4 (22)

“Homely” Kathy is introduced to writer Elliot by their mutual friend, blind pianist Anatole. Elliot was burned and scarred in an auto accident, and his fiancée broke off their engagement as a result. Kathy and Elliot fall in love, but she fears her appearance will harm Elliot’s career when he returns to the city. Elliot says they can be married and rent Anatole’s cottage, where they’ll live happily and in love. Elliot’s mother disapproves but in the end Elliot and Kathy remain in their “magic cottage, under its enchanted roof.”
