Wonder Woman assumes her Diana Prince identity and gets a job with military intelligence as Steve Trevor's assistant in this story. As shown in the first story of Wonder Woman #162, Wonder Woman met the real Diana Prince and assumed her identity prior to this story.
Synopsis:
Steve Trevor begs Wonder Woman to marry him. She refuses, but gives him a challenge. If Steve can pick Wonder Woman out of a crowd three times in a day, she will agree to his proposal.
As the challenge begins Steve gives Wonder Woman a ring. She takes it off immediately after he puts it on her finger, but it leaves an invisible mark which Steve can see with special contact lenses. Steve then picks Wonder Woman out of a crowded beach and costumed in a witch disguise. If Steve picks her out once more, she agrees to marry him.
Wonder Woman then realizes how Steve has picked her out. She removes the mark, then disguises herself as Diana Prince. She tries out for a job with military intelligence, earning a post as Steve's assistant. Without the mark on her finger, Steve doesn't see through her disguise. He fails the challenge, so Wonder Woman remains single.
