Philip Toynbee
The American critic Lionel Trilling has recently published a new collection of essays, The Opposing Self. Philip Toynbee talks about this book and the critical tradition to which it belongs-a kind of criticism that starts from literature and moves on to wider social issues.

Appeal on behalf of St. Martin-in-the-Fields' Christmas Fund by the Vicar, the Rev. L. M. Charles - Edwards
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Every year the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields makes a Christmas Broadcast Appeal. It is an appeal by St. Martin's, but not an appeal for St. Martin's, for all the gifts received are distributed throughout the British Isles. Many people feel that Christmas is a time to make some personal gift to others whQ are in need through illness or misfortune, and for whom Christmas is a time of sadness rather than joy.
The problem is how to find these people. St. Martin's knows them, knows where the need is greatest, and where the help is most required.

June goes with her father, Jolyon, to visit Irene, who is in straitened circumstances. Jolyon, not sure of his own feelings towards Irene, advises her to go abroad and offers to let her flat for her.
Soames is toying with the idea of marrying the French girl, Annette Lamotte. Unable to believe that Irene has no lover, he employs a private enquiry agent to watch her.
Meanwhile the runaway Montague Dartie has cabled his refusal to return to his wife Winifred, and Jolly is uneasy over his sister Holly's liking for Val.
Jolyon visits Irene in Paris, and finds himself in love with her. While there he learns that his son, Jolly, has enlisted in the Imperial Yeomanry.
