THE first thing Celia Brandon

he sat. AS if, she thought, studying
the man at the corner table across
the top of her menu, he had been
propped up in his chair and was
likely, at any minute, to 60 sliding
off on the floor.

"Yes-a, Miss" said her waiter.
"Every night this-a week, he come.
But he does not eat. He just-a sits

Celia examined her find more

stretched altogether too tightly
across his high cheekbones for him
to be in good health.

American Meat Packing

Perhaps" she said, 'he' hasn't
the price Of a meal"
"Then why does he Gomez"
The walters attitude, Celia felt,
was a coldly commercial one. The
way most folks with something to
sell looked upon those who had no
money to buy. And determined to
put the waiter in his place, she said,
''I thought his face was familiar.
Yes, of course! It's Freddy Malone.
-. Tell him." she said, "that I'd
like him to join me-"
"Yes-a, Miss"
For a moment after the waiter
had delivered this invitation uncer-
tainty marked the mans lean fea-
lures. There was a frightened ex-
preston in his deep-set eyes as they
met hers. But when Celia countered
with just the right degree OF
warmth in her own-the degree one
would extend to man friend not
seen in many years yet warmly re-
membered-he rose and came to-
ward her table.
He walked unsteadily and she
wondered if he might be intoxi-
Gated. If that explained his propped-
up appearance of a moment ago.
Then he was alongside, bowling just
little from the waist, and she was
saying, "It's so good to see you
again, Fred. -
Eyes, isn't it." he said. Thanks
for asking me over"
His tones made her feel that he
was hungry. It was as if every word
he spoke was scraped from the
walls of his stomach, left some
mark. And now that he was closer
she could not mistake the suffering
which lined his face. It was the kind
that comes to those who find them
selves alone in the worlds largest
! city when dark closes in.
More than food, she felt certain,
was needed here. He needed good
cheer. Someone to talk with. To
make the joke with. To cry with.

Meat Packing Industry

The start Of commercial meat

What to Do With
An Inferior Complex

You may think that you alone are
in possession of an inferiority com.
plex, but nine out of ten persons
also have one.
Probably most inferiority com.
plexes start in babyhood There you
were, small and weak and helpless
and inarticulate, and you looked up
Above you, you saw a creature tow
ering, your mother or father, strong,
self-reliant, able, while you were sc
weak and dependent. Right then
and there you acquired the begin
ming of an inferiority complex, and
as you grew older, your complex
became stronger.
Some psychologists, rather than
see in the inferiority complex a per.
sonality handicap, actually look
upon one as a good thing. They
have, indeed, dubbed it the golden
complex" because as one of their
number explains, IA personality
complex is the spark that disturbs
the clod."
What he meant was that our per-
sonality complex makes us conscious
Of our shortcomings, causes us to
set up resolutions to improve, to
compensate for our inadequacies,
and as we develop, we develop our
mental and physical strengths. We
really become somebody because OF
our complexes, don't you see?
What should you do right away
with yours? Analyze to see where
it started and when. And then 20
about getting rid of 1t for good.

Outlet Quartet Lifts
Ensemble Arts to
Point of Perfection
By EIeno de Soyn

The Outlet String quartet, heard
here at the French Embassy a yea,
ago, provided maximum pleasure at
the Library of Congress last night in
a concert sponsored by the Ger
trude Clarke Whittal Foundation
This comparatively new group seems
to have fully penetrated the secret
of lifting the often abused, much
practiced and the most difficult OF
the ensemble arts to the highest
point of perfection.
The artists, Daniel Outlet and JAG
Gorodetzky, violins; Frank Brief
viola. and Lucien Laporte, cello
seem to be wonderfully attuned and
adjusted to one another to be able to
Iproduce a tone of such extraordi-
nary beauty and refinement. One
of Schubert's early quartets in "E'
fiat Major, op. 1885," the opening
number, composed by him at the
age of 16, was revelation unsteady
Each phrase, equisite in contour
shaded from an almost inaudible
piano to a vibrant forte, had a heart
warming spontaneity and disatinc-
ton, as played by the group.
The program included also Men
delssohn's Quartet in D Major, op
A, No. /" whose death centenary Is
being conmemorated this year by a
revival of his works in different
forms. His generally neglected
chamber music contains excellent
items, as illustrated yesterday
Fashionable during the composers
lifetime, his music diminished in
popularity until recently, although
its freshness and charm really ever
lost their appeal. One had only to
hear it performed by the Outlet
Quartet to fully appreciate nnsv the
purity of its flowing melodies.
No doubt Mendelssohn, like any

other composer, needs Interpreters
who have enough Imagination to
understand him, sufficient enthus-
lam to make his music Respondent
and intelligence to add to its ex-
pressiveness. The realization of this
ideal found expression In the high
quality of tone, the cultivation OF
which, in all its phases, is salient
characteristic of the group which
differs prominently in this respect
from many another. Debussy's
Quartet in G minor, op. 10" was
listed as the concluding number.
The number of recalls indicated the
enthusiastic appreciation of the au-
dience.
