"Mfe when his family, containing grown --"T»ons and daughters, had agreed among themselves It was best for him to ^retire. , Hearing three girls and three boys «n a scale of decent and substantial living had, of course, not enabled " Otto to accumulate, but when the Catastrophe of the dissolution of his •orchestra came along, there were fortunately, three out of his six chll ; i<flren who were earning.

Mathiide, the third, daughter, a staid, careful, uncoquettish girl, ----"who so far as the modern flapper was ^ iponcerned, did not exist at all, vyas ^confidential secretary to the German consul. 4 v So, all in all, while in the heart of •Otto calamity had descende^iris family, including his wife, was of an opinion, secret from him, that consid-S, -ering his age and gouty constitution, 1t was just as well for him to retire. The Klingers owned their little home on the outskirts of New York. Tfhere were only three children left "at a school age. Mrs. Klinger, twenty years younger than her husband, And of firm heroic build, was a housewife of impeccable and amazing capacity for economy. ^ > The Klingers coald make «0t all right. " -- But the effect upon the morale of "Klinger was what troubled them. 'Prepared as the family was for the Jet-down that Inevitably must take place in the somewhat Bismarkian figure of their father, who for thirty years had ruled thirty men. to say nothing of a household, the actual happening was nothing short of appalling. He became a household tyrant, domineering over the daily routine, interfering in his wife's capable regime,. exercising even more discipline with his children. There came a time, In that little home, when so far as the members of It were concerned, the idea of sending Otto off to a private hospital at some quiet seaside resort actually, began to present itself.' That project never took form. The Klingers were too compact a group for that; too grounded In certain rudiments of family solidity, but it does go to show the extremes to which they were pushed, by the overflow of their father's chagrin into the household. Then Bertha, the fourth child, hit on a scheme that, while it was to increase the household tyranny in many ways, was nothing fhort of stroke-of , genius.. . '* Secretly, so that ik>t even his wife or cliildron knew it, there had always smoldered in Otto bitter disappointment that not one of»hls children had followed in his musical footsteps They were a practical, sensible lot. youngsters^any parent could i»f> pron'* of, and for that matter eafTi and ever one founded in a musical Bat among them, with th« exception Edith, who was too yooug to reckon with, not one of the girls or boys had exhibited outstanding musical talent. Bertha's idea, however, was founded on this rather casual musical equipment of the family. Father must form a family orchestra and they could practice evenings. Mother at the piano, the three boys at the violin, flute and viola respectively, Bertha and Mathiide at the Mrp and 'cello and little Edith, who was no* eight and taking her first lessons, at the violin. Well, somehow, the idea caught with Klinger, like wildfire, and catching, did some tantalizing things to family life, curtailing the outside activities of the grown boys and girls* to such an extent that their souls or their evenings could no longer be called thelt own. Bad *5s was the evening after, evening practicing ^ef <; the group, under the surveillance* of Klinger, it was offset by the fact that once more clenched Jby an interest, Something of the old good humor, , and normal geniality of the man revived. Ufe" in the Kiingef household was once more livable, as the Klingers put it. / ;; And then t&ere feeganll to' develop the jispect of it all^that made the Idea of Bertha seem to blossom Into something- that wa£ nothing siibrt of genius. • „ A'- • Time ; and time again, con(hicting this little group of his family orchestra, Klinger began to find himself amazed and delighted by the musical precocity of the mite of a girl playing the third violin. ' Within two months, trying to keep down within himself the rising Rope and the rising excitement ihat here In this.child was talent, he saw the thin little wisp of a girl superceding her delighted first violinist brother, playing in his place. Six months later, by arrangement made "by Klinger, Edith was taken tb the conservatory, there to play before: the great Eicher, who pronounced her of outstanding and amazing virtuosity That, busted up the Klinger orche*» tra, so to speak. Six hours of each day, Klinger. wh0 has no more time for his famfly. orchestra, Interested to his fingertips, tender 'of her youth, adoring* of her talent, teaches his youngest, and plans for her musical future.

Systematic Hunt for Priceless Old Papers P Quit recently a London workman was cutting out a piece of old parchment Into segments for making Into a lamp shade when he noticed some old and faded writing on the piece he had cut. A close examination rievealed the parchment to be a deed of the period of James I. Here was a valuable old document that should have been preserved In a museum being ruthlessly cut up to gratify the passing whim of fashion, and when It had served its purpose to be cast aside on a dust heap, a loss to history and the severing perhaps of a valuable link with the past. Hundreds of priceless Old documents are being cut up In this way, bat thanks to that distinguished scholar and antiquarian, Mr. William le Hardy, a public appeal has been made to end this needless sacrifice of historical documents for the sake of a craze. He is asking to be allowed to examine the archives of old-established solicitors' offices in London, where many of these old documents are to be-foiind, in the hopes of discovering deed.s that will throw some light on the history of some famous county families.
