The Blue Book Magazine, February 1918

This February 1918 issue of The Blue Book Magazine contains J. Frank Davis's serialized story "For Honor," a domestic drama centered on Lieutenant Garnet Brice, a Fort Sam Houston officer who vanishes in June 1911. Brice leaves the base in civilian clothes for a rendezvous with the frivolous but harmless Mrs. Dassler, a lonely woman in a failing marriage. When her jealous, volatile husband unexpectedly returns home via automobile, Mrs. Dassler—terrified of his violent tendencies and threats—forces Brice to flee through a rear window. The story explores themes of honor, discretion, and compromising circumstances. The magazine also advertises stories from The Green Book Magazine, including Olive Wadsley's "Derelicts and Lovers" and Albert Payson Terhune's "The White Way," plus theater criticism by Channing Pollock and entertainment gossip.
