just like ancient Greeks. Raymond Dun
can married Greek girl who believed as
he did, and SO all the stage was well set
long before Menalkas appeared.
They settled down in Montmartre where
any kind of cult can find home and be-
gan to preach their gospel OF the antique
life. At the same time they grated on
the ancient Greek ideal a stern vegetarian.
ISM There is no record that the old Greeks
were vegetarians.N But Papa Duncan
thought that II they weren't they ought to
have been.
SO little Menalkas, besides being an
ancient Greek, had to be a vegetarian.
There is a curious point to the vegetable
end Of this, as will be seen later.
About the time he was seven It began 10
get pretty lonely for Menalkas. The col.
ony supported itself by selling hand-woven
fabrics, furniture and so on. And Menal.
kas learned how 10 work hand loom and
t. do other things that would have been
useful hundred centuries ago. Wherever
the Duncans went out, no matter what the
weather might be, they wore the peplum
or tunic or chlamys and sandals, and that
was all except now and then a flet
around their brows. II wasn't so bad for
the little boy in Montmartre. where they
we're used to the costume, but when Menal.
kas was taken down into Paris the gamins
would get around him and shout out the
French equivalents for Get your hair
cut!" Sissy" Hey, put on your pants!"
and other unpleasant remarks.
Nor could he play with other children,
The Washington times., 1921-01-23

him most. he said The frequent asper-
sions cast upon his bare legs got under bis
skin where the cold winds couldn't.
Il wanted pants!" he said, over. and
over again. I've wanted pants all my
life! No more shimmy for mine! I've got
my pants and I'm going to keep them!"
This point OF view is something every.
body will understand. There is nothing a
boy looks forward to with such longing as
he does to his FIRST pair OF trousers--un-
less 1t LIS his first pair OF long trousers.
And there are no experiences that he looks
back upon afterward as more joyful than
both. Putting on pants is not only rite,
but tremendous symbol OF emancipation.
The first pair OF knickers mark his emerg.
ence from the baby class into the fratern.
ity OF kids" The irst pair OF long trous-
ers mark his escape from the kid class
into the world Of grown ups"
For seven years Menalkss Duncan, real
boy despite his extraordinary parents and
aunt, had dimly realized all this. He had
concealed these longings, these ambitions,
Just like any other real boy. And all those
years he had watched scores OF other boys
graduate from pinafores into shorts" and
out OF Shorts" into "longs." while during
all those years he had possessed neither.
IL he had known II he would have
chanted that immortal parody;
We oan live without cousins,
Sisters, brothers or aunts;
But civilized man cannot
Live without pants"
And Menalkas yearned to be civilized.

Menalkas as He Is Described
1 When He Ran Away.

EE1 PARIS, Jan. IAN
~ ENALKAs DUNCAN has slipped
M cut OF all the ancient Greek ideals
@VA that have clothed him for the
whole OF his fifteen years, gladly grabbing
to take their place his first pair of pants!
Brought up by his parents from babyhood
as Grecian model boy of 500 B. G. in his
habits, thought and appearance Menalkas,
who is also the nephew of that widely
known exponent Of Hellenic dancing, lsa.
dora Duncan, at last rebelled. For two too
brief but happy days he lived the life OF
an honest-to-goodness 1921 A. d. boy.
Escaping from the classical colony on
Montmartre presided over by his father,
Raymond, he had the long hair which the
Duncans called "hyacinthine" but that
other boys called SISSY" cut short He
exchanged the chlamys, that combination
kimono and sheet so popular as a fashion
in Homer's time, for a suit of silk under
wear, a silk shirt and neat, checked suit.
The legs that had always been bare and
the feet that had always gone sandalled
we're covered with stockings and shoes
And on his Apache haircut he placed a
felt hat!
After that, as his father lamented later,
nothing quite so un-Grecian. as Menalkas
Duncan could be conceived.
O.Also during those two days he ate meat
for the first time in his fifteen years.
EAT the end OF the blissful forty eight
hours Menalkas was brought back home by
policemen, sympathetic with him, It is
true, yet forced by the law to deliver him
again to his yoke.
But has Menalkas as yet bowed to that
yoke! No, sir! They can't put back the
hair that was cut off And he hangs on
0that first pair of pants with both hands!
eTTNot on your life!" exclaims Menalkas
initbe barbaric tongue he acquired during
his revolt. Wear that shimmy instead Of
my new pants? Jamais de la vie!"
And Paris has not been so excited by
anything since the war as by the whole
affaire Duncan.
1T Is hard to tell just when Menalkas
frst began to brood over his wrongs. He
never did have a chance to behave or dress
like the ordinary boy. The Duncans, lisa.
dora and Raymond, had acquired their
Greek ideals years before he was born.
They do not believe in modern civilization.
Nothing later than the age OF Pericles ap.

Athenian basket at the mockeT. He re.
membered one who had sympsthized with
him in his troubles, q certain Monsieur
Bourbon, who had once been member OF
his fathers colony, but had gotten sense
He had said that If Menalkas ever wanted
10 get out OF that classic mess he'd help
him. He knew his address. Bending his
bare head against the wintry blast, Menal-
kas eirded up his chamys and set forth for
Monsieur Bourdon's abode.

breathing deeply while the clothier meas

on the underwear he was persuaded was

not yet hated, he sought a barber.

pride. There peered back at him good
looking. up-to-date youth with not the least
suggestion OF the archaic. He bought
felt hat and then sauntered out upon
the boulevards. And for the first time in
his life nobody paid any notice of him!
1t appears that his next call was at

order.
But in the meantime what of the Dun
cans? Anxiously they had awaited ths
boys return. As the hours went by con-
sternation grew and was registered, as the
movie people say, both in classic and un-
classic ways. When evening came. and
still no Menalkas the Paris police were
asked to find him.
The next day went by and the police
found Menalkas. They carried him home
protesting. When first his parents saw
him they did not know him. This defiant,
trousered lad with felt hat on his
shorn head could never be their Menalkas!
and loud we're the lamentations.
II was some joke on Papa RAYMOND
Duncan all right! He at once made II plain
that he did not appreciate it.
The following day Paris was again in
terested and amused by scores Of shrek
ing posters over all the billboards. These
had been printed by the outraged Mr.. Dun
can, and they warned citizens to Beware
OF one Robert Bourbon, who is guilty OF
receiving hospitality, eating at my table,
yet betraying me against al the laws OF
civilization, as we'll as of savage modes,
by employing all means Of alternating my
boys affection and Disgusting him by cut
ting of his curly locks and secreting the
youth as we'll as spreading infamies about
myself"
This was pretty strong talk. Monsieur
Bourbon countered promptly by starting
suits against Mr.. Duncan "for defamation
OF character and for personal threats"

In the meantime Menalkas clings TO. his

little BIT Of ancient Greece his parents
have reconstructed on Montmartre.

Buy lentils, beans. basket OF some peas.
although there is no record of peas having
peen raised in Attica. But go not near the
stalls OF the sellers of meat, lest a taint

Menalkas went forth, a wicker basket
that might have marketed in Athens on his
arm. II was cold and the wind tossed
MS hyacinthine locks, tapped his robe ana
bit at his ankles. 1t could have been
absolute zero and Menalkas would not

revolt was surging within him. What did
they mean-a feast? feast of beans and

Revulsion seized him as he-looked at the

the beans filed him with loathing the cab.
