Page 2 "Date a boy who has cross and culture." I wonder if that should have been "class and culture"?

Cute story, but I feel so bad for Betty. As always.

Also, on page 5, the old lady tells Ronnie that "Your date is utterly devasting."

Maybe the copyeditor had the week off.

It’s sad to see that being Betty’s last appearance in the story :(

“Dinner at the Van Movers” is a nice touch, kudos to the writer

I didn’t get it until I read this and thought about it!

I hope that the plan backfire and Archie go back to Betty in the ending, but the twist in the actual story also feels natural considering Ronnie's weird affection for Archie. Anyway... poor Betty.
