The Blue Book Magazine, February 1918
· 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.
