jut the effect upon the morale of
Klinger was what troubled them.
Prepared as the family was for the
let-down that Inevitably must take
place In the somewhat Blsmarkian
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 ap-
palling.
He became a household tyrant,
neering over the daily routine, Inter.
fering 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 rudi-
ments of family solidity, but It does
go to show the extremes to which they
were pushed, by the overflow of thelr
father's chagrin into the household.
Then Bertha, the fourth child, hit
on a scheme that, while It was to in.

ways, was nothing short of stroke-of-
genius,

But among them, with the exception of
Edith, who was too young to reckon

exhibited outstanding musical talent.
Bertha's idea, however, was founded
on this rather casual musical equip-
ment of the family.
Father must form a family orchestra
and they could practice evenings.
Mother at the plano, the three boys
at the violin, flute and viola reshec-
tively, Bertha and Mathilde at the
harp and ‘cello and little Edith, who
was now eight and taking her first
lessons, at the violin,

offset by the fact that once more

Life in the Klinger household was
once more livable, as the Klingers
put it.
