PUBLICATIONS. WHITCOMBE’S IMPORTANT NOVEL. LOCKE AT LAST. “THE TALE OF TRIONA,” By W. J. Locke. “Whether or no the lovers and admirers of the Locke who created Marcus, Paragot, and Aristide Pujol wiil approve of Alexis Triona, whose real name was John Briggs, is open to question. At least the story has a charming heroine in Olivia Gale, the girl who daringly decides to squander her patrimony and leave the little Shropshire town of Medlow in order to ndvcnture_ in the fashionable whirl of London. Olivia has a foil in Lydia Dawlish. the war-widow who conducts an exclusive millinery establishment. and launches Olivia into society in suitable attire (her low-cut, sleeveless, shortskirtod gown of old gold tissue had h} 11 *-:-" rial existence, but she felt herself halfas'hamodly. half-deliciously, clad in nothing but a bodily sensation). This gives Mr Locke an opportunity of which he avails himself to the full, to show iu its proper light the London night clubs and bridge parties and its painted women, men about town, and professional dancers, which have followed in the wake of the war. Ho also shows Olivia endeavouring to conceal her connection with the middle-class folk of Medlow just as Triona has 'hidden his identity under John Briggs. Just when Triona has achieved fame as a novelist the bubble bursts and John Briggs knows himself for wlhat ho really is, while Olivia, who has married him as Triona, turns away aghast and disgusted.”—Otago Daily Times. “The Tale of Triona,” 6s; postage 6d.
