SOMEWHAT TRAGIC
"Lady of Daylight" (Cassell), is G. H. Attenborough's second novel, and it should be as big a success as her "The Rich Young Man." The plot, however, is not lost in brightness. Dianeme—she gets her name from Horrick —is the heroine, and with her husband, Don, is as happily married as compatibles can bo, till a temptress robs of joy, and death is piled upon heartbreak. Then the little sou, Maynard, is the focus of love. He grows to manhood finoly and joyously, the light of his mother's soul, till one tragic day he meets and loves Dawn, much his senior, all unconscious that she was partner of his father's unfaithfulness. But the art of the novelist is to negotiate such impasses as these, and this is done dramatically and with dignity.
