Joseph Weil

(from Grosset & Dunlap dustjacket) Novelized by Joseph Weil from the famous play by Preston Sturgis. When real love comes to a young girl anything may happen. "STRICTLY DISHONORABLE" is a story of what does happen. Isabelle Parry, beautiful Southern miss, laughs at love and suitors until Henry Green comes into her life. Perhaps she is dazzled by the idea of leaving her small town to live in the metropolis. At any rate, she says "Yes!" She is thrilled by her trip North to visit Henry's people. As a fitting climax to a whirlwind courtship, Henry takes Isabelle on her first rounds of New York night life. A few too many drinks in a Forty-ninth Street speakeasy makes him surly. He deserts his fiancee. The inexperienced girl is thrown upon the mercy of two strangers. For the first time in her life she pends the night in a man's apartment. The unusual romance of a famous play is charmingly disclosed in this finely written novel.
