when one Of such intriguing interest
as that Of yesterdays Is announced.
The same program with the same
artists will be repeated tonight.
Abandoning for the main part
their regular quartet selections, the
Budapest players used only Haydn's
Quartet in G major, op. 81, No. 2"
to separate two string octets, those
Of Georges Enesco and Of. Mendel-
ssohn. In these two numbers they
had the assistance of Stefan Frenkel
and Joseph Gingold, violinists; Mil
ton Katims, viola. and Benar Heifetz,
cello, all musicians of first rank who
fitted themselves into the style of
the Budapest foursome with ex-
pertise.
Exquisite as is the Mendelssohn
octet, 1t seemed an anti-climax after
the fiery work in the same form by,
Enesco. Written when the COM
poser was only "A years old, it teens
with all the youthful emotion that
finds an outlet in music. Were one
to be supercritical, this is its chief
fault, leading to an overabundance
Of material as though the composer
was loath to abandon ideas that en-
thralled him to such an extent.
But it is gratifying to experience
that rich surge of feeling, the poetic
expression and the genuineness of
the inspiration. If the tremendous
vigor Of the themes press on the
sensibilities, it is healthy exuber-
ance and filled with the strength Of
dreams and hopes. In the Lente-.
ment, it reaches a religious note
that is spun out to its finest point
and allowed to linger just long
enough to punctuate dramatically,
the passionate spirit of the other
movements.
In spite of the intensity and pow
er of the greater part of this music,
Evening star., 1942-10-16

1t Is written In . graceful line that
undulates In delicate contours.
Enesco's appreciation Of the instru-
ments he uses Is profound and he
divides the effects between them
with extraordinary skill. His en-
ployment of the viola in obNgato
passages and the lovely muted mel
ody given the second violin, which
the first violin sets OF with one
played fortissimo, are examples Of
his dramatic feeling for color in the
strings. Again, the. waltz theme Of
the last movement in the cello tone
stands out clearly against a CON-
ptcated ensemble that might well
have obscured it.
After such music of glowing elo-
quence, the sweet, smooth melodies

If you can hold that neck line

how old you are 1t is true that
the neck is one of the first spots
to reveal age signs.
Poor posture. general lack Of

muscles of the neck will give you
a wilted, creepy look. A double

At best, living in the home OF
stranger or having strangers
in your home, as the case may
be, is a difficult procedure. In
most cases, people are essentially
willing to cooperate, but mis-
understandings are bound to
arise when a former way Of living
is abandoned by new landlord
and his tenants. And, needless
to say, readjustments are in order
on the part of both.
So much can be accomplished
by little consideration on each
side. If the girl or man who
rents q room in a private home
would remember the things that
we're expected of him in his own
home, the situation would be
immeaSurably brighter. Respect
for other peoples property is one
of the first things each Of us is
taught as a child, and many
are the spankings we've received
for stepping on Mrs. Jones

1t is all too easy to forget these
things when a strangers posses

than not 1t is thoughtlessness
rather than "meanness' that

Loves Blindness May Be to Blame
Disalusionn,ent of Matriuony Could Be Avoided

Among the tens of thousands of
letters that come annually to my
desk in which every phase of the
troubles of matrimony is dis
cussed, nothing is so strange as
that the faults of which husbands
and wives most frequently COM
plain are blemishes which must
have stuck out like sore thumb
during the days of courtship.
How those who we're taking on
these men and women for life
partners failed to observe their
peculiarities in time to save them
selves, passes all comprehension.
We think of marriage as being
unhappy as the result of cruelty,
of infidelity, of coldness, of lazi-
ness and shiftlessness on the part
of one or the other of the high
contracting parties. But where
one marriage fails because of
some crime that the husband or
wife has committed against the
other, a hundred fail because of
some disagreeable personal pc
culiarity of the other that got on
a husbands or wife's nerves.
Undoubtedly the alibi of these
disgruntled husbands and wives
is that they were deceived, and
that they never dreamed that
their Marys and Johns had the
faults and habits to which they so
seriously object concealed about
their characters, but this is unbe-
lievable. For, while it is true that
a man who Is trying to persuade
a girl to marry him and a girl
who is on the husband hunt do
put the best foot foremost, they
are incapable of sustaining long
act. Their make-believe is bound
to break down and show them as
they are. And why this conveys

up so attractively that friend
husband won't feel at all inclined
to go roaming during her party.
Or else, the wife must learn
how to accept her husbands un-
invited presence with good grace.
If, when he comes poking his
hungry face around the pantry
door, she cheerily asks him to
come in and join the ladies, I
have no doubt it will Iven up the
party. And even If he makes
cracks about her girl friends
afterward, she shouldn't worry
about it. He wouldn't have come
around If he hadn't wanted to.

men to see who will take the
trouble to look.
And the same way with women.
Like men, they also apparently
never take a second look at the
men they marry until after they
have gotten them home from the
wedding, so they miss seeing the
little peculiarities that get on
their nerves and are 50 hard to
live with.
How else can you explain the
fact that a woman can be en-
gagged to a man for years and
years and never find out that he
is so dull and tedious that he
bores her to tears? How can she
step out with him without OBJ
serving that he gargles his soup
and eats peas with his knife, and
his table manners are 50 afro
cious that she has to shut her
eyes and pray for grace to en-
dure 1t when he eats an egg?

when he Is counting her; when he

beggar a penny. why doesn't she
suspect that his wife is going TO
have a mighty thin time Of it and
will have to use chloroform to
get a dollar out Of him?
When a man assumes before
marriage the right to boss a girl,
why doesn't she know that his
wife is slated to be a doormat
and that he will wipe his feet
