Ambition

AMBITION -- Arthur Train -- Scribner's ($2.50). Simon Kent gets along in the world. Why? 1) He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and an asset to a law firm that handles shady cases for a potent oil corporation; 2) his wife knows how to mix cocktails for his employer. After four years, Simon gets tired of getting along, particularly when he finds out that his wife had duped him into marriage after having an illegitimate child by another man. Honest, basically upright Simon obtains a divorce, a wholesome job, a new and true wife. Author Train tells it swiftly, stiffly. He has also written eleven novels, five volumes of short stories, six matchless yarns about Mr. Tutt (funny lawyer), three law books.
