her merry laugh. Again she would creep away to
the attic and brood for hours alone. poor baby
Laura would say, "she is cross between her
father and her mother and the combination has
produced nothing but discord."
Threnodora's first real grief came with the
death of her father, when she had just turned
fourteen. year later Aunt Laura permitted her
heart to be a second nay, third time, al
though the first and the third successful suitors
and the same person, Merwin Strand,
her brothers partner in the great wholesale dry
goods house that her father had founded. That
but a few weeks after Mr. Strands son,
Austin, returned from a year at the BeauX Arts,
and in Threny's vivid fancy the young man took
place with the gods and heroes of ancient lore.
Christine Strand, who came home from boarding
school long enough to attend the wedding and re-
new od-time acquaintance with her step
mother, made little impression, by reason of her
cold air of superiority She was three years
Threnodora's senior and she felt herself count
less ages older in wisdom and Importance
After the death of Mr.. Strand, Laura continued
to maintain the old home for her son. her niece
and her two step-chdren, albeit the neighborhood
was fast deterorating into the shabby abode of
the transient who cannot afford hotel prices, and
only a few blocks away the stately old homes
being torn down to make way for factories
and railroad yards.
"a certain Mrs. Laura Reynold-Leighton-St
will stay here till the place crumbles about her
ears" Frank Leighton would declare whenever
the subject of moving to a more fashionable
neighborhOod was preached and his mother
would reply, ut will be time enough to find
another house when you have taken out to the
cemetery with those who loved this house as I do
and that will not be long" The apparent after
thought the real kernel of her argument in favor
of the old home invariably senced the young
people, Laura loved the house her father had
built and the younger generation could not choose
but occupy it with her.

your cousin, Frank Leighton, for you if Frank
hadn't gone to the Springs to fetch his mother
home"
81 wonder why Mr. Strand couldn't come for me
himself if he anxious about me-" Threnodora
reflected, unconsciously giving voice to her
thought.
"You couldn't expect him to soil his patent
feathers in the filth of Hickory street that he
has got a medal from a Paris art show?"
An angry flush mounted to the girls cheek and
a hot retort on her lips, but she restrained
it, saying instead:
Il wish you would send another bottle of port
over to Mrs. James. Her won't drink it this
time. And Mr. Brooks, think you'd better phone
for another ton of coal and have the bill sent to
me as usual. They know the kind she uses" and
with short Good night" she left the store Out
the street, her anger eaped to the surface.
so Austin has sent DR.. Ben for me! And of
course I'm in for another lecture when get home.
I'm afraid I'll have to settle it this time If l bite
my tongue out afterward l can't won't stand
his arrogance another day. Ugh, the very news
boys will be ridiculing him next. Could have
believed it of him month ago."
She paused before a handsome brown-stone
mansion, a house that seemed to hold itself aoof
from it's neighbors, a house that wore in epitome
on its faded front the romantic, the tragic story
of almost two generations. Here Douglas and
Laura Reynod had grown to maturity, when this
the aristocratic neghborhood of a thriving
city. From this house Laura had gone FORTH
happy BRIDE to return in five years with her little
Frank and her memories. 1t was in the great
front chamber over the parlor that she had taken
the little Threnodora to her motherly bosom while
Douglas followed his fragile, fower-like wife to
the last resting place of mortal flesh. And Doug
las had emerged from his grief and his books
long enough to inf1ict on the little stranger the
name, Threnodora "a wailing gift" because she
had brought such desolation to his heart. AS
Aunt Laura strove nightly to hush the sick baby
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-07-12

she reflected grimly
that the name was
doubly appropriate.
But Threny's nights
of pain and wailing
passed by and she
came to be a ray of
sunshine, a very
song in her fathers
melancholy soul.
She was never a
satisfactory child. At
times she would play
for hours W l t h

make the whole
house resound with
