This December 1919 issue of The Blue Book Magazine features ten short stories and two serials across multiple genres. The novelette "After the Manner of Asia" by H. Bedford-Jones chronicles American adventures in Siam. Culpeper Zandtt contributes "The Hatching of a Pirate," beginning a new sea-story series. Elmer E. Ferris offers "Why Not I?" about a salesman overcoming obstacles through a successful idea. Edison Marshall's "Jungle Justice" presents a wilderness drama, while Frank L. Packard continues "The White Moll," detailing further episodes in Rhoda Gray's underworld career. Additional contributors include Chester T. Crowell, Charles Wesley Sanders, Clarence Herbert New, Barney Furey, and William O. Grenolds. The two serialized novels are Randall Parrish's "Easy Money," praised for swift action and engaging mystery, and J. Frank Davis's "The Chinese Label," concluding an elaborate mystery narrative.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
