THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY
By Aldons HUXLEY. (Hdrper's,

Aldous Huxley calls this new book
Of his an anthology. 1t Is a good

For some years Mr.. Huxley has
stood still in the positive position
of advocate of religion which he
attained after a brilliant rejection
successively of art, intellectually,
science, politics and social reform as
possible saviors for mankind. He
has stated this position in a number

WOMAN WITHOUT LOVE

By Andre Maurois. Translated
from the French by Joan
Charles. (H1rper's;. $780,
I expect that this will be a de-
cidedly popular novel. The title
Woman Without Love-" in con-
junction with the name of Andre
Maurois, will, I imagine, be enough
to bring it readers aplenty. Dis
praise from a mere reviewer will
hardly weigh against that alluring
combination. And yeti 60 on
record Notwithstanding.
/ found it an satisfactory per-
formance. 1t has legitimate
theme. 1t is a study of a woman,
Claire Forgeaud, who is not able
to find any true satisfaction in
love. Such woman is a type
and may be studied as one. Since
she is an abnormality, her study
will hardly give birth to a great
book, but it may produce an inter
esting and accurate one. Mr..
Maurois. however, has introduced
elements into his story which war
against a type portrayal of his
heroine. Heehas not individualized
her too much. but he has individual
lied the circumstances of her life
in way which is in disharmony
with his theme.
Thew PRIME N0fhins
For, having set out to show us
woman unable to love happily, he
never gives his Claire a chance for
such happiness. He has her marry
twice. but though both husbands
are exceptionally gifted men. men
who in the parlance would be called
good catches" he is at pains to
show them both to us as grotesquely
unattractive lovers. They prove
nothing in the case of the unfor-
tunate Claire for, if she fails to
be happy with them a reader is apt
to conclude that no other woman
could either.
Now Mr.. Maurois is much too deft
a novelist to have committed such
an error unwittingly and SO the
conclusion that one draws iS,3that
he wishes, to Indicate that husbands
in, general, are unattractiye lovers,
and that the woman who makes
a success Of marriage, in the emo
tional sense Of it, must cast aside
her expectations of anything be-
yond mere animalism. Indeed, he
puts this opinion into the mouth
OF a number of subsidiary char
acters who pass judgment on Claire.
They say. these characters, that
she looked for too much. One does
not know, therefore, whether the
novel is a study Of female ideaiist
or an indictment of marriage. What
it set out to be, however, was 4
study of an abnormal woman.

in this book an entertaining, myth

The very title of the book strikes

freedom-for themselves-and the

mostly orthodox members OF the
Church Of England sent along by
the London "adyenturers" who

Wilson writes, than the notion
