over my condition.

had to get 80 per cent to pass. The
matter was left in the hands of a
sporting young don, and his protege
got through. Later on it appeared
that only two questions had been

FAITHFUL TO ABSENT SPOUSE
PeneIope's Beautiful Fidelity to Her
Warrior Husband lmmortalized
In Deathless Verse.

The classic example Of wifely fidel-
ity is Penelope, beautiful Greek wife
OF Ulysses, conqueror Of Troy. For
20 years, while her husband was away
at the Trojan war, Penelope remained
faithful to him, III spite of frequent
reports Of his death and the importuni-
ties Of her many suitors. The story
Of how Penelope outwitted these
scheming lovers has been handed down
to us by no less u chronicler than the
great Homer, who immortalized her
deeds in 'The Odyssey"
Penelope. who was the daughter of
Icarius, also a famous Greek, was
sought in marriage by scores Of the
eligible youths Of her day. Unable to
choose among them herself, she asked
her father to decide upon son-in.
law. Icarlus determined that the
fleetest Of foot among the suitors
should win his daughters hand, and
instituted foot race in which
Ulysses, the Ithacan. was victorious.
When Ulysses was called to the
siege Of Troy, it was 20 years before
he returned. Before he settled dowr
to enjoy his long.deferred domestic
happiness, however, Homer tells us
he killed all the men who had basel!
taken advantage Of his absence.
