Everyone has been shocked and thrilled
by stories of girls in big cities who are framed, shaken down and
railroaded to reformatories on faked charges of paid immorality, but
no one has before written of what happens to such girls after they
come out, embittered, soiled by association with the lowest types of
their sex, branded for life with the scarlet scar of a record -- for
the vilest accusation that can be made against a woman.
Jack Lait, who knows his police, stool pigeons, shysters and
shylocks, here clicks off the sizzling story of one blonde sister
AFTER she was "sprung".
