woman"

said Hermione.
II know" said Eteoneus, "that's
the last word in fine manners, but
1 don't believe in it. Women make
most of the trouble in the world,
and it's weakness, I say, to spare
them their punishment. Otherwise
they'd always be doing as they
liked"
"You are talking nonsense, Eteon-
eus, and you know better. Women
are defenseless before men,"
"Are they" said Eteoneus. "Cly-
temnestra!"
That's a special case. and it's not
what I'm talking about said
Hermione. "I repeat what 1 said,
that women in general have a hard
time, and that men treat us so bad
ly we lose our respect for them"
1T can't be DONE" said Steoneus.
"You can't treat woman so badly
as to lose her respect-that is, pro-
vided you still show some sort of
interest in her."

"And on Clytemnestra?" said
Helen.
Dear me, mol" said Menelaos.
'We'll leave her to her guilty con-
science. But Aegisthus is the vii
lain. I do believe, all the more be-
cause she defended him so energeti-
cally. I'll be back at once, in time
for Pyrrhus."
Bring Orestes back with you"
said Helen, "and the wedding can
take place without further delay. 1t
will rehabilitate that branch of the
family, socially I mean, to have the
alliance with your daughter. and 1T
will take the poor fellows mind on
his terrible troubles
"That wedding can watt" said
Menelaos.
"Of course 1t Can," said Helen.
Meanwhile, what will you do if you
meet Clytemnestra now? Won't it
be rather awkward for you to pass
the time of day while you're killing
her lover? And won't it be still
more awkward afterward? I'm
thinking that since Agamemnon is
gone, you must approach Clytem-
nestra, as the surviving parent,
when you arrange the details of
Hermiones wedding, and perhaps 1t
would therefore be wiser to keep
out of this feud-especially since
Orestes seems able to bear her
wrath"

mione. "He can't keep out of the
feud, mother. He might just as
well 90 now and help Orestes, and
I can marry without Clytemnestra's
approval. In fact I don't wish her
approval. I intend to have nothing
to do with her."
"But you can't ignore your moth
er-irl-law," said MenelaoS. DO you
know, Hermione, it might be wise
to consider the whole situation. I
like Orestes better than ever, but in
marriage you have to reckon with
the relatives. Marriage is a fright
fully social institution. I have abb
solutely no social leanings toward
Clytemnestra."
II can't let Orestes drop, If that's
what you mean," said Hermione.

gagged - I've promised myself.
thought you knew that, father. I'd
like to marry with your blessing,
but I shall marry Orestes."
II don't think that's quite duti-
full" said Menelaos. You ought to
listen to a parents advice. We used
to respect our elders"
"I respect your elders, too," said
Hermione, "but you are breaking
faith with me-"
"Hermione," said Helen, l"that's
not the way to speak to your father.
The question isn't whether parents
deserve the courtesy; the question
is whether your own nature is fine
enough to prefer courteous express
sion. Marry Orestes when you
like, so far as I'm concerned; it's
for you and your father to work

Hermione. "Clytemnestra knows

act a terrible penalty from Aegis-

She understands where such a deed
would end"
"Orestes wouldn't kill his mother,
said Menelaos; otherwise I agree
with your argument. I think Helen
is unjust to her sister Eteo-
neus, did the messenger give you

These are the details" said Eteo-
neus. "The messenger says Aga
memnon went into the house, as
the trader reported. and after a
while the people went away, not see
ing more entertainment in prospect
Then Clytemnestra had them all
called back, and she came out and
made them a speech.
"She said she had enjoyed such
admirable relations with her neigh
borS that there was no reason why
she should not take them into her
complete confidence. She had, she
said, just killed her husband. They
probably knew that Aegisthus and
she had been living together, and
considered themselves man and wife
in the eyes Of the gods, If the gods
had noticed it.
"She had doubted that Agamem-
non would return-rather hoped he
wouldn't, for he had murdered their
daughter, and she was bound by
every pious obligation, as they
would readily appreciate, to slay the
murderer of her child. She had
therefore drawn him into a remote
part of the house, had invited him
to rest, and when his armor was
removed, had killed him.
I'm a great burst of jealousy.
which she mentioned with regret.
she had also killed Cassandra. 1t
was clear now, she said, that this
second murder was unnecessary,
but it's hard to think of everything
at the time. She would now take
Aegisthus as her lawful second hus-
band; she had accepted no aid from
hiny in killing Agamemnon, for,
after all, the feud had to do with
her daughter and not with her love
affairs.
"Aegisthus was entirely innocent.
The messenger considered it quite a
speech" said Eteoneus, "and at first
it was well received, but the people
began to notice, as they thought it
over. that she really was shielding
Aegisthus, and trying to lay the
blame where no vengeance could
strike.
"The messenger says that Ores

Clytemnestra-she has the situa-

"Of course she has," said Helen.

leaves nothing to accident. She
murdered him. I'm glad at least she
didn't pretend otherwise

Home Education
THE UNFAIRNESS OF ADULTS
Lydia Lion Roberts

The six children were sitting
quietly in their seats near the front
of the hall, chatting amiably and
waiting for the concert to begin,
They had been there almost half an
hour when a woman came down the
aisle and stopped at their row.
"Will you children please move
over?" she said peremptorily.
The children looked up at her in
surprise and then looked question
ingly at one another.
Move over so 1 can have this end
seat" insisted the woman.
The children hesitated, but no one
moved.
Come, hurry! It is almost time
for the concert to begin" urged the
woman. Il always have the end
seat when I go anywhere, and like
this row best, so please move over. "
"Aw, come on, move over" a boy
said, and he pushed the boy beside
him. The other boys and girls fol-
lowed his lead and reluctantly moved
over so far that the woman got the
end seat.
There were three other end seats
vacant across the aisle which the
woman could have chosen. That
row of boys and girls had come to
the hall more than half an hour
early to get settled in the seats they
wanted, while the woman came in at
the last minute.
1t wasn't that the change of seats
made any great difference to the
children, but it must have increased
their resentment at the unfairness
OF those adults who do as they
please regardless of courtesy, and
who takes advantage of their years
to usurp the rights of those young
er. If the children had been saucy
or disrespectful, the woman would
have been highly indignant; if they
had refused to move over she would
probably have gone to some one in
authority and made trouble; yet it
IS to be doubted if she would have
dared to make her last minute re-
quest for special seat to a roww of
adults.
Adults have an important respon-
slDlllty toward children which many
hardly seem to relize. The adults
whom the children admire and re-
spect, the ones to whom they apply
game fair" Square" and other
adjective of appreciation, the adults
according to whom they pattern
their little lives are not the kind
who treat children incosideratetly.
The people who have the most in
fluence over the little folks are the
ones whose innate sense of justice
and fairness causes them to treat
the child of five or more with the
same courtesy and kindness that
they would another adult or that
expect and desire themselves. After
all, the Bible verses does not say,
DO unto others ADULTS ONLY as
ye would that they should do unto
you"

REFRIGERATING LEFT-OVERS


Cooked foods containing custards
or sauces, or delicate vegetables, are
subject to quick decomposition, and
should go into the coolest food COM
partment in the refrigerator, if space
permits. They never should be set in
the refrigerator in the china in
which they have been served. This
practice is bad for the china and also
takes up more room than is neces-
sary. Plates and large dishes hinder
the necessary free circulation of air.
Pint fruit jars make good containers,
if standard refrigerator vessels are
not obtainable. The tight covers are
needed to keep these foods from dry
ing out and their favor from being
dissipated.

THERE'S some information for the
9t housewife which should prove
~ a time saver and a convenience.
Her greatest time saver, of course
is the use of canned foods. If she is
detained late by club, social or phil
anthropic activities she need not worr-
about the evening meal for her family
if she has a well-stocked emergency
shelf. From these rcady-to-serve foods
she can quickly prepare a substantial
meal of several courses-a meal that
is both nourishing and appetizing.
But most recipes call for ingred-
tents by cupfuls, whereas the contents
of various sized cans are estimated in
ounces or pounds. So there remains
the matter of measurements in order
to further expedite the preparation
of such an impromrtu meal. In order
