All he has to do Is sit quietly while

suppose you pick up a hand con-

This system is q little dangerous,

did not wish to be saved. The five
children of the Balliols are supposed
to represent periods of changing
thought-Lucy, devoted adherent of
her Aunt Stella, the fight for woman
suffrage; Ruth, the downfall Of Vic
torian morality; Hugh. the war;
Francis. the back-to-normal attitude,
and Helen, born in 1908, the reaction
toward a returning conservatism.
1t Is the greatest possible compli-
ment to Mr.. Waugh that we forget
what all the Balliols are supposed to
represent and become interested in
them only as people. A rather dispro-
portionate amount Of space is given
to the suffrage movement and the
extravagances of Lucy. That struggle,
having won its objective, which has
fulfilled neither the wild fears of op-
ponents nor the high hopes of pro-
ponents, has now receded into a past
where it shares values with many other
social movements. Lucy's infatuation

Balliol himself. retired from business,
was a lonely figure, vibrating between
his comfortable service fiat and his

that Mr.. Waugh perpetrates a con-
summate piece of irony, the climax of
the Balliol story. Engaged at about
the present time to an inpecunious
young man of approximately her own
age, she felt dissatisfied that her life
prospectus seemed neither unusual nor
enviable. At a Devonshire resort she
met the till-attractive-at-50 Roy
Hickman, once her mothers senti-
mental admirer, long since married to
rich and motherly wife who had
cushioned his whole life for him. He
and Helen fell in love, or thought they
did; he because it was his habit to
fall in love, Helen because she was

is divided into two classes: First,

but have since lost out" and second,
almost everybody in the 20s and

hopeless and should not be allowed to
become so. Mr. Pitkin, through his
writing and lecturing, is doing all he
can to offer hope. not merely OF a
rosy, theoretical kind, but accompa-
MED by concrete advice. He says: If
they can find themselves, America
will find herself. If they go lost.
America goes lost. Among those same
millions you will also find feeble

loafers and the scourings of hundred
