Max Miller, author of "I Cover, the Waterfront," published last year, scores again with "He Went Away for Awhile" (Dutton). It is auto-' biography quietly and contemplae- ively wrltten. The main charactert of. the book déecides at the age of twenty-niue, to take, a year's leave of. amibition and greedi-war andcultut;reé and civilization are thé, thenies of bis study. Gently and simply, with a gracious and tender wisdom he seeks. the answer to the pa rticular riddles of bis own life. He returns at the end of the year, ref reshed and phil- osophical, to his job on the news- paper. Thîis is a book that should delight people who love good writing and unobtrilsive and rare thougbt-j fulness. On December 9 the Philosophy club of Chicago field mn the chapel tof the.
