CHILDREN'S

COLUMN

By Uncle Peter A Famous Street

When Britain's Prince Regent (afterwards George IV) decided early in the 19th century to build new home for himself in Regent's Park in London he commissioned the famous architect, Nash to plan aine new thoroughfare to connect It with his other residence at Carlton House. Thus Regent Street came into being. Until then the thoroughfare appears to have been mainly rural.

Between 1813 and 1820 the new street was bulit. Past the corner of Piccadilly Circus it was distinguish

Rebuilt some years before the

recent war, legent Street to-day is one of the most handsome thorough- fares in Europe and links two of the busiest points in London's vast network of trame-Piccadilly Cireus

and Oxford Circus.

Reviewing NEW BOOKS, George Malcolm Thomson puts two psychological posera :

1. ADOLESCENTSIG ARE. YOU A DAVID OR A JONATHAN?

AVID and Jonathan crop up again. This time they are disguised, slightly, as two American boys. They are the leading characters of The Folded Leaf, a novel by William Maxwell (Fabers, 88. Gd.).

Mr Maxwell is editor of the New Yorker, a | serious weekly. He writes a serious novel.

David-for purposes of this fiction- called Spud Latham; Jonathan, Lymie Peters. The case-history of these two young men may thus be summarised:

The boy has grown up with no proper home atmosphere. He is physically slight and wistfully aware of this defect; highly strung: clever.

Rupert & the New Pal-4

"Hello, where have you been?

"Well, that's odd. What's the matter....... with him?" thinks Rupert.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

"When you grow up," Mr Peters fald to Lymie, during the

nnnual Visit to Mira Peters's grave, "there won't be anybody make things casier for you." But Lymie worried about who was going to make things casler for him in the horrible oppressive present,

That was why he clung to Spud. who is all that Lymie aspired to be -strong, tough, physically good to look nt.

In Spud, Lymie finds what life has denied him.

The climax of this painful, touch- ing story is reached at the Univer sity when Spud, suspecting that his girl Sally and his friend Lymle are playing him false, withdraws into an icy tower of sulky dislike. Lymie tries to commit suicide.

The story takes us on a journey | through the unquiet country of

adolescence. You know it?

RE you a "Visterotonic"? Or have you, perhaps, the virtues and weakness of the unfortunate "Cerebrotonic" ?

You do not know? I invite you then to consider the classification of mankind which Aldous Huxley mentions in his philosophical and mystical anthology, The Perennial Philosophy (Chatto and Windus, 12s. 6d.).

There are, according to the Americans, Dr Sheldon, from whom Huxley borrows the idea, three types of human temperament, distinguish able by their physical characteristics.

The soft, round, plumpish man has "viscero- tonic" traits. He likes food, particularly eating it in public. He is fond of comfort and luxury. He loves childhood, and family life. He craves affection and, in trouble, seeks company.
