A 7C A SATIRE ON MODERN LIFE TMROUOM THE LfP* OF THE ANCIENTS TH€ PRIVAT6 LIF€ OF H6L6N OF TROY by JOHN 6RSKIN& ty arrunqtmeai wtfh Rational Picture* Inc*

HELEN, an ancident lady with modern ideas. MENELAOS, her husband while she stayed at home. HEKMIONE, 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. “If you stayed, you might protect me,” said Helen. “You know how to protect my husband’s interests better than any man he’s likely to, find. Very probably I shall never fall in love again, nor any one will lose his heart to me.” “I wouldn’t put the slightest faith in that. I didn’t blame Paris,” said Eteoneus. “In a way, I didn’t blame you, since, as you say, you were infatuated with the fellow. All that was natural enough, and I knew what to think of it. And, besides, I could see that Menelaos didn’t understand you. He’s had no experience at all with women.” PREVENT SUMMER COLDS—TAKE mvs wine lonic Made of Finest California Wine.

“He may not have understood me then, but he has no difficulty now. That’s not the trouble with Menelaos. He’s too soft, I’d rather say. He never lives out his wisdom. He knows far more than he knows what to do with, as to me and other things.” “That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to say!” Eteoneus exclaimed. “I had no idea you saw it too.” “Why, Eteoneus,” said Helen, “you and I have more ideas in common than any other two people in the house. We have had some experience of the world, and we’ve thought about what we have seen. I haven’t had the opportunity before to thank you for what you said to Hermione.” “About women?” “Yes.” “Why, Menelaos was going to put me out of the house for that!” “He would feel that way about it,” said Helen, “but you told the truth. And Hermione needed to hear it. I suspect Menelaos knew it was the truth, too. And from the first you did the right thing about Orestes. And you showed a human attitude toward poor Adraste. You are really a very noble man!” “I’m a very ordinary one,” said Eteoneus, “and I’m not what I was. It is kind of you to speak so—in fact, it’s the first compliment I’ve had from anybody since you went to Troy. I don’t count the tributes I could pick out of your husband's sarcastic remarks if I tried.” “Oh, he likes you enormously, Eteoneus! I rather fancy he relies on you to see that his more foolish commands are not carried out. If he gets anew man who obeys him literally, the house will be ruined.

Won’t you stay?” “If you both want me so badly,” said Eteoneus. “But there are other difficulties, too. I’d better go now, before we get in deeper.” “Let me hear the other difficulties,” said Helen. “Perhaps we could reach some solution of them.” “Hermiones and Orestes,” said Eteoneus. “We’re not through with them. They think they want to travel indefinitely, but what’s indefinitely? Menelaos forgave Orestes before they left, and he’s wrapped up in his daughter—” “He should be,” said Helen. “Oh, I know,” said Eteoneus, “but they will come back, that’s the difficulty. When Menelaos forgave him, it was on the assumption that they were saying good-by forever. “First I had to get that food and stuff done up in bags for Hermione, then I had to put it away because she was too proud to accept it, then I had to get it all out again the next day, and twice as much, for Orestes. “He wasn’t too proud, I can tell you. And Menelaos made him promise, without any great difficulty, that if ever Hermione was in need, they’d let us know. We’ll be feeding them at a distance till they find it more convenient to be fed near by.” “Orestes will go back to his father’s estate after a while,” skid Helen. “There’s no doubt at all that the very people who are critical of him now will want him to rule them later. Then he will have the best of homes for mis wife.” “Do you think he would care to settle down and look after his own affairs?” said Eteoneus. “Remember, he has grown up in a hide-and-seek kind of existence, at first eluding his mother, thin hunting Egisthus, then waylaying Pyrrhus. “I fancy he is too much accustomed to it to change. If he only could take vengeance on himself for Pyrrhus, he’d be entirely in the vein. “But I can’t imagine him tamed down. There’s nothing really stable about him; he’s one 6f those people who talk about the established order of things, but never try it.” “He had the decency to marry my daughter, when she would have been comprimised if he hadn’t.” “How do you know he married her? He told you? That’s great evidence, isn’t it?” “It’s no evidence at all, but I believe him,” said Helen. “I don’t like him, but he tells the truth.” “Well, I’m sorry for their children,” said Eteoneus. “It will be the greatest race of reformers that was ever invented.”

“I take it you are going to stay,” said Helen, “and I’m happier over the prospect than I’ve been in a long time.” “I didn’t say I’d stay,” said Eteoneus. “But you will, won’t you?” said Helen. “Don’t you think I’m too old?” “Not a bit! You will soon be in your prime as a gate-keeper—you know all about men, and an extraordinary lot about women, and you can now act on your knowledge, to the great advantage of all of us. And whether you were old or not, Menelaos and I should want you to stay. We shall love our friends at any age.” “If you put it that way,” said Eteoneus, “there doesn’t seem to be so much point in going. I shall keep my prejudices, of course.” “Os course,” said Helen. “What would a man be without his prejudices?” “The going to Troy wasn’t so bad,” said Eteoneus. “As coming back,” said Helen. “We understand each other, Eteo-

neus. Thank you for staying, and thank you for this talk. If you ever have anything to say that you feel would be helpful to me, come and tell me.” “I will,” said Eteoneus. “I’ve enjoyed this talk. Menelaos and I always disagree. Shall I tell him I’m staying, or will you?” “Neither of us,” said Helen. “Just stay. If you tell him you are going to, he’ll ask you why, and you won’t have a good reason unless you say I asked you to, and then he may discharge you. Stay with us, Eteoneus, without words, and I think the house will be at peace.” CHAPTER V “This is as good a place to stop as any,” said Orestes. “The view is very fine from this bend in the road, and the shade of this lonely tree is welcome. I’ve had my eye on it for the last half-mile. If I had known how heavy your father’s supplies would prove, I would have declined at least half of them.” “We needn’t walk much farther today,” said Hermione. “What’s the

use of hurrying on as if we were afraid of being late somewhere? We aren’t going to any particular place, and it makes no matter when we arrive. My, but I’m tired!” “Now, don’t lose your courage!” said Orestes. “The main reason for moving on is that no one seems eager to have us stop. That house last night barely put up with us —I was fearful to the end that (hey’d risk the sin of inhospitality, and invite us to try some other door.” “The trouble is, they’re all heard about you,” said Hermione. “You have as wide a reputation as my mother. They are afraid you’ll murder than in their sleep. Poor Orestes!” “Partly,” said Orestes; “but when they see a woman along, they immediately conclude that you are not formally my wife. I suppose they think do one would marry me permanently. They don’t like to take in women who are not strictly married or unmarried.” “Isn’t it strange how people will

miss the essentials," said Hermione, “and fasten on the mere formalizes! If I had brought a marriage certificate with me, they would be cordial, but without it they are frigid. Yet I couldn’t be more your wife than I am, even if there had been no ceremony at all.” “I feel thoroughly married myself,” said Orestes. “Homeless, but domesticated. I wonder who is calling on your mother about this time.” (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1927. by the Bobbs-Merrlll Company.
