A SATIRE ON MODERN LIFE THROUGH THI LIPS OF THE ANCIENTS TH€ PRIVAT6 LIFC OF H€L€N OF TROY by JOHN €RSK'Ne %biithtd ks omusqment viih .Hrit national Picture* Inc.

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 bv 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. CHAPTER 111 “Is mother here?” said Hermione. “Oh, there you are! Father, the most terrible thing has happened. Adraste, that girl, is going to have a child!” ' “I know it,” said Menelaos. “You know it? And you can let such a thing happen in your house, and be so calm about it? I was blaming mother in my thoughts as I hurried home—but you knew about it all the time!” “Hermione, you shouldn’t speak so to your father.” said Helen. “This is rjot the first occasion I have had to object to your manner.” “There are worse things in this house than my manner,” said Hermione, “and even if you and father don’t feel outraged by them, I do. If that girl is to remain with us,

after this disclosure, I decline to live here.” “Where will you go?”,asked Helen. “I don’t know—perhaps to Orestes, as my duty seems to call me. I may be of use to him—l can be of *no use here. I’ve tried to be loyal And respectful to both my parents, but we are comparative strangers, and our relation is essentially false. “The honest thing for me to do is to marry Orestes at once, - 'and begin over again, in the simple and usual way of sane people.” “That kind of talk is very distasteful, daughter,” said Menelaos. “I don’t refer tqr your manner toward me; the distressing thing is your lack of sympathy for people in difficulties. Your mother and I have had great sorrows recently. Adraste is the latest. I’m not responsible for her, as you would have known had you waited a minute—” “Then prove it,” said Hermione. “Put her out of the house!” “You mean, just put her out, to starve or die of suffering?” said Helen. “Yes, that’s what I mean!” said Hermione. “At times, as I’ve always remarked, you resemble your aunt,” said Helen, “but I never saw the likeness sa strong.” “The resemblance doesn’t interest me, and I can’t admire your attempt to divert the conversation,” said Hermione. “This revelation of the conditions in our house has put me beyond patience. “Ever since that girl came she has been flirting with Damastor, a nice boy, thoroughly' unspoiled, until she led him astray. I don’t see why we should lend our good name—l won’t lend mine—to shelter her and her vulgar instincts!” “Have you talked with her since you heard the news?” said Helen. “I wouldn’t be seen talking to her!” “Then do it surreptitiously. You could profit by it—any of us could. You can’t imagine yourself in her place, can you! Abandonment by a man you trusted—-Orestes, for instance—and become a theme of household gossip?” “I certainly can’t imagine myself,” said Hermione. “You can’t imagine me, either!" “I shan’t try to,” said Helen. “The

point I would make is that until the thing happened to her, Adraste, like you, could not imagine herself caught in such misery. That’s life, daughter. Most of us are hard on others because we are unimaginative.” “Did you warn her of this possibility when you were telling her to cultivate the love of life?” said Hermione, Menelaos laughed. “I warned her against the love of Damaster,” said Helen, “just as I tried to teach you the love of life, and advised you not to love Orestes. You both, in different ways, thought you knew better than I. But I’d like to ask you a question. “When you entered just now you told us you had hurried in as soon as you heard the news. Who gave you the news?” “Charitas,” said Hermione. “She wasn’t gossiping; it came about in the most natural way. I stopped in there for a minute, and she had to explain Damastor’s absence. She feels very bitter about the , whole thing.”' “Did she imply in any way that Damastor may have collaborated in wrongdoing?” said Helen. “Certainly not!” said Hermione. “You can’t blame a mere boy, in the hands of such a person. That kind of_woman can do what she likes with a man, anyway.” “Oh, I don’t know!” said Menelaos. “It depends on the man.” “And on the woman,” said Helen. “But tell me, Hermione, did Charitas say what provision she will make for her grandchild?” “For her what?” “There’s going to be a child, and Charitas is its grandmother. Haven’t you visualized the whole situation? Charitas has —that’s where the sting lies. Her mind runs on age because she’s-a grandmother first.” “Oh, no, you’re wrong; she doesn’t think of it as her grandchild; she spoke of it as though—well, as though it were a disease. I doubt if she will provide for it.” “I thought she wouldn’t,” said Helen. “Your father and I shall have to, and perhaps it’s as safe for the child.” “I’ll do nothing of the kind!” said Menelaos. “I told you Adraste must leave the house— Hermione, I was telling your mother that when you came in.” . “Yes, he was. You see, my'daughter, how improper it was of you to address your father as you did. He was agreeing with you entirely. We haven’t had as much murder as we’d like; you and Charitas and Menelaos, the three props of society

in our neighborhood, all wish to kill Adraste and her baby. “I am holding out against you for their right to live. But I’m not committed to keeping the girl here, if another arrangement would be better for her. I can think of one such arrangement. “Let Hermione go to Charitas, Menelaos, with the promise that if she will tell us where the boy is, we will send Adraste there, at our own costs, see that they are honorably married, and give them enough to start life on together, in some distant place where no gossip will attach to them.” “That’s the thing!” said Menelaos. “I’ll do that.” “I’m sorry,” said Hermione. “I know without asking that Charitas won’t do you want—and really, I don’t care to ask her.” “Why not, pray?” said Menelaos. “I think she is right in sending Damastor out of that girl’s influence.” 1 “Doesn’t he love her any more? And oughtn’t people to marry if

they love each other?” said Helen. “You ought to be giving me the arguments I’m urging. I’m such a liberal that I begin to seem conservative/’ i “I don’t take your point of view,” said Hermione. “I’m shocked at you, Hermione,” said Menelaos. “I’m really shocked. You told me that you and Orestes are practically married; that nothing must be allowed to separate you. Adraste and Damastor are more married tnan you are, yet you think they should be kept apart at any inconvenience to them or to others.” “There’s no parrallel between these people and Orestes and me, Hermione. We have done our best to lead good lives. Mother repeats her sneers at the respectable, but worse than anything she says is the lax attitude you both take toward ordinary mortals. “Damastor should never had anything to do with that girl, but since he made one mistake, I admire his mother’s resolution to prevent him from repeating it. “M. 7 contempt for Adraste I can

Who is selfish now, I’d like to know?” “You are,” said Hermione. “You and mother have piled up one difficulty after another for yourselves, and you wish me to help you out even at the loss of my self-respect and the sacrifice of my principles.

Don’t think I’m without affection for you, or that I relish the idea of leaving my home for such a reason as this. But I have a right to be myself. People who talk most about leading their own lives—pie like mother—usually have to involve others before they get through.” “You break my heart,” said Menelaus; “I’ve done nothing, and asked you to do nothing, which would Justify such talk as this. If you wish to leave this house, do so. “I’ll have a talk with Orestes as soon as I can. He ought to know about this from our point of view. You’ll give him your own version.” “Hermione,” said Helen, “you
