CYNTHIA CODENTRY?Ernest Pascal?Brentano ($2). The psychological network that entangles Cynthia Codentry and causes her retreat from metropolitan philanderings to the dumb worship of Dirt-Farmer Swedge of Long Island, all unravels to the old copybook line about him who hesitates. In his wisdom and mercy, Author Pascal makes manifest some reasons for Cynthia's hesitations ? unnatural home life with her divorced actor-father; the enervating effect of life among rich school girls; a sophisticated girl's natural fear of being prematurely pigeonholed by life.
