The Characters HELEN, an ancient lady with modern ideas. MENELAOS. her husband while she stayed at home. HERMIONE. her daughter and severest critic. ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have ambitions. \ ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling: philosopher by instinct; moralist by observation. ADRASTE. handmaiden and .friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else. CHARITAS, the lady next door. DAMASTOR, a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. Helen feels Hermione, ner daughter, has been neglected. With father and mother both away from home for ten years and daughter left pretty much to her own devices, there would seem to be some grounds for Helen’s contention. At any rate, Helen is talking it over with Menelaos and is taking the occasion to tell her husband what she thinks of the present “younger generation’ In general and Hermione in particular. Nqw go on with the story. “Since we’re on the subject, I might as well hear the rest of it,” said Menelaos. “Can you give me a brief definition of whatever it is the young people lack?” “I meant simply, they don’t love life as they should,” said Helen. “They take it very cautiously and seriously; haven’t you noticed they see its faults first of all, and are highly critical? Love of life doesn’t just happen to us, like that othei 1 love —I suppose it’s an art, to be learned by practice, over a great deal of time. “When we have learned it at last, we have probably ceased to be young. Perhaps these children can’t be expected to love what they know so little about. They are afraid of life, afraid they won’t succeed, or won’t get married, or something. “When their fears are removed they are so relieved that they settle down and never take a risk again. “But why do you explain Hermione that way? So far as I can see she’ll love life if she gets a chance. Though I don’t pretend to be a judge of these things, I’ve thought she was getting on pretty well. . ... "If she isn’t, probably Orestes will teach her—l understand he’s an enterprising young man, with the modern ideas.” “Oh, Menelaos, you dont get the point at all! Orestes is incurably serious and dangerous, and with no gift for living, with absolutely no sense of humor. Everyone says that of him. “He’s the kind of young person who sees the flaws in life before he sees life, and is too conscientious not to remedy at once every flaw he sees. He will do his duty at any cost to others; he’ll carry out what he thinks is the will of heaven even if he has to kill somebody. Can’t you imagine what a wretched time he’s going to have—and any woman wflo marries him. I wish Pyrrhus were here.” “Pyrrhus—Achilles’ son?” “Yes.” “What do you want with Pyrrhus?” “I’d like him for a son-in-law,” said Helen. “Now the cat’s out of the bag!” said Menelaos. ‘But would Hermione like him for a husband? I suppose we’ll leave her some privilege of choice? She's a grown woman, and she never saw Pyrrhus in her life.” “Ah, but there’s always a danger she may see him, any time. Better to see him now, before it’s too late.” “I’ve seen him often,” said Menelaos, “and I didn’t lose my heart. There’s nothing miraculous about Pyrrhus.” “Oh, there isn’t?” said Helen. “I really thought there was. I understood that you and Agamemnon had to ask his help after his father died. “You’ll not deny that he finished the war for you, and went home with a great reputation. If he didn’t earn it, how did he get it? I want Hermione to know Pyrrhus. “At least to talk with such a man, to meet him familiarly around the

house for a few days, and see for herself. After that, let her make her choipe. You’re quite right—he may not care for her, but after his visit she won’t be so ignorant. Ask Pyrrhus to come here, Menelaos—do ask him to come at once!” “I see myself!” said Menelaos. “He and I don’t sleep under the same roof!” “Why not, pray?”

“I won’t have him in the house, that’s why not. I wonder I put up with you, you—you telling me—what your blessed ideas are of a satisfactory love and a happy home! You haven’t the first instincts of a decent woman! You took me in at the beginning—this morning, I mean—with your solicitude for your child’s future! Sooner or later you give yourself away—it’s your love affairs, not Hermione’s, we’re to plan for! “You loved Aohilles, and still do, dead or alive, so I’m to invite his son here as the next best! For Hermione to see! Great chance she’d have to see him! Paris— Hector—Achilles—l Von’t mention the years, but can’t you consider you’ve had your day? And quite a day! Measure in all things; do confine your disgrace to one generation!” “Menelaos,” said Helen, “your bad manners when you lose your temper are nothing new. But for this once we are going to understand each other completely and equally. “Do you wish me to stay here as your wife, honored and respected? There’s no question of other men for the moment—this is between you and me. Do you want me? Or do you wish to kill me? If you really have no use for me, I won’t stay a day longer. “If you’d feel to kill me, I’ll gladly go bring you your heroic sword. You left it in the diningroom, I think. But it’s one or the other. Which do you want?” “I merely said I wouldn’t have Pyrrhus—” “Which do you want, Menelaos?” “Which what?” “It’s no use, Menelaos, you’ll have to answer me. Do you wish me to stay?” “Stay if you like, or go. If you stay, and if you won’t Irritate me too much, I’ll try not to say what I think.” “That won’t do,” said Helen, “you mustn’t think it.” “I’ll try,” said Menelaos, “I can’t do more.” “I don’t want any more,” said Helen. “I’ve learned to be reasonable. Now let me be quite clear about the other men. I loved Paris. That’s always been understood. As

for Achilles—don’t get excited now —if I had known him, I’m sure I should have loved him, him only, forever. “We must love the best—there’s no sin In love like failing to love the best—and he was the greatest of you all. Had he been one of my suitors, and had I known enough of life then, I should have taken him. “It’s not your fault nor mine, and you will be just enough to admit that I think of him only what the world thinks. I .hope you will do me the justice also to recognize that I want his son, not for myself, but for my daughter.” “Will you do me the justice ” said Menelaos, “to remember that I too may have Ideas of life and love? That I too, though less remarkable than Achilles and you, have a part in the world, important at least to me? “When people marry, and one of them is exceptionally brilliant, its enough to ask of the obscure husband that he be proud of his wife, helpful to her career, and loyally keep in the background. He deserves some reward, I think.” “He does,” said Helen, “and he’s practically certain to get the reward he deserves. He’ll lose his wife. Poor thing, she thought she was marrying a man, a great man, someone to her mate, not her slave. “She probably has exaggerated his merits, as he has hers, but she’ll make believe he has them, as long as she can. When he begins to insist that he’s nobody, in comparison with her, it’s all over between them.” “But suppose, speaking in the abstract,” said Menelaos, “suppose the deserted husband went after her and brought her back; she’d begin to think more of him, wouldn’t she?” “In the abstract, yes,” said Helen —“especially If he werfe able to manage it all single-handed.” “My word!” said Menelaos. “And you’ll ask Pyrrhus to come at once?” said Helen. “Not at once nor later!" said Menelaos. “It's at once we need him,” said Helen. “Hell never- set foot In my house?” said Menelaos. “The details be arranged at any time,” said Helen. “The important thing is to get him here soon.” (To Be Continued).
