fARlS AND HELEN and
THE SIEGE OF TROY
Copyright by tho Author
Gloriously beautiful red haired
Grccjs princess Helen of Argos
was called upon about 3100 years ago
to choose a husband She was the fair
est woman jn all Greece- Nearly every
Greek king and nobleman was suitor
for her hand
Greece in those days was cut up
Into many small sates each with a
king of its own It needed little to
set these states at war with one an
other So Ulysses wisest of all the
petty monarchs suggested that each
suitor not only pledge himself to sub
mit to Helens choice but vow also
to defend her and the husband she
might choose against any foes This
plan was meant to ward oil war It
had just the opposite effect
Helens choice fell upon Menelaus
king of Sparta The other suitors
went hack to their homes in anger
but kept their oath not to molest the
lucky man A short time later a royal
visitor came to the court of Mene
laus This was Paris one of the 23
sons of old King Priam of Troy Mene
laus was a rough soldier Paris was
handsome graceful and what would
now be called a womans man He
and Helen fell in love with each other
at sight In those days there were
several ways in which a man might
legally win a wife He might ask the
hand of an unmarried girl he might
marry another mans wife by chal
lenging her husband and killing him
in fair fight Or

fce mJgW amy off

such a wife mar
ry her and defend her and himself
against her pursuing husband Paris
chose the last named course Fight
ing was not his strong point
He kidnaped Helen and took her
by sea to his fathers great walled
city of Troy in northwestern Asia
Minor at the mouth of the Hellespont
He knew that the warlike Trojans
could easily protect him from any
Spartan army But he did not reckon
upon the oath sworn by Helens suit
ors By the terms of this oath nearly
every monarch in Greece joined Mene
laus in avenging the theft of the lat
ters wife The combined Grecian
armies under command of Menelaus
brother Agamemnon King of Myce
nae sailed for Asia Minor and laid
siege to Troy The debt incurred by
Paris in stealing Helen was destined
to he paid in the blood of thousands
of innocent men
Helen meanwhile had been cor
dially welcomed at Troy She and
Paris were married there witli splen
did ceremonies They embarked on a
life of Oriental luxury that delighted
the frivolous girl who had hitherto
known nothing more gay than the
meagre rigorous plainness of the
Spartan court But their dream of
bliss was short lived An army of
150000 Greeks encamped outside the
Trojan walls about 1184 D C and
laid siege to the city The Trojans
admiration for their princes pretty
Greek bride suddenly changed to
wrath For they saw she had brought
upon them a deadly war Neverthe
less they loyally refused to give up
Helen at Menelaus demand and pre
pared to defend their city against the
invaders
For ten long years the war dragged
on with varying fortunes To while
away the time between conflicts the
game of checkers is said to have been
invented during the siege by one Pal
amedes a Greek Menelaus more
than once urged Paris to end the use
less bloodshed by coming forth and
fighting him man to man It was far
pleasanter to stay at home with his
beautiful wife than face the man he
had wronged At last urged by his
elder brother Hector Paris consented
to the duel He and Menelaus fought
in the presence of both armies Helen
looking on from the city wall Paris
was overcome and barely escaped
death at the hands of his foe
Not long afterward while hovering
in the rear ranks of battle Paris was
struck and slain by an arrow His
brother Deiphobus then married Helen
who does not seem to have grieved
greatly over Paris death The Greeks
failing to carry Troy by assault re
sorted to tragedy They pretended to
sail away leaving on Ihe seashore a
huge wooden horse The Trojans
thinking this horse an idol bore it in
to the town Withing the wooden an-
imal several
The Sack of
Greens were hid-
Troy
den That night
they crept out and opened the gates
of Troy to their returning comrades
The city was sacked and utterly de
stroyed by fire The inhabitants were
massacred men women and children
alike
Helen was rescued and carried back
to Sparta by Menelaus who freely for
gave her desertion But the other
Spartas were less merciful to the wom
an who had brought such misfortunes
to their country When Menelaus died
they drove her away She fled to
Rhodes for refuge The queen of that
island jealous of Helens loveliness
and fame murdered her
Thus ended the strange career of a
woman whose beauty had destroyen
one nation and nearly ruined another

For the cream grate a cocoanut

simply poured over the mashed po
tato and mixed through it Add a

mixture become very hot and then

TRY THESE BREAD BOXES
Idea That Will Be Something of a
Novelty to fyiany of Our
Readers
Bread boxes are an artistic cheap
and delicious way to serve many en
trees as eggs chestnuts or greens
They are easy to make but compara
tively few women understand it
Cut stale bread at least two days
old in four inch cubes having first
removed crusts
Dip each cube into slightly beaten
egg and fry in boiling lard in a frying
basket Remove when golden brown
and drain on brown paper
Cut out a square from one side of
the cube a quarter of an inch smaller
than the box and dig out the crumb
leaving the sides and bottom about a
half inch thick
Before using set the bread boxes
in a hot oven to heat through fill
with whatever mixture is desired and
add the lid or not as preferred
Curried Apples
A dish to serve with pork chops is
made of thin slices of apples and on
ions fried together in butter with a
sprinkling of curry powder as season
ing A recipe similar to that just
given is a foreign one called Madras
curried apples Peel and core four
sour apples Cut them in rings
Sprinkle with a little curry powder
and fry till brown adding as they
cook a few shallots cut in thin slices
Cover the mixture and let it cooik un
til done Serve on a platter with
boiled rice and a curry sauce
For a curry sauce use a white sauce
flavored with curry or a drawn butter
or black butter sauce flavored in the
same way and prepared from the drip
pings in the pan
A Dainty with Tea
A nice litle dainty to serve with aft
ernoon tea or a cup of chocolate or
coffee is composed of crackers cov
ered with sugared nuts Any kind of
thin cracker may be used some per
sons preferring a slightly sweetened
wafer others liking a thin cracker or
salted wafer For the mixture stir
together a cupful of confectioners
sugar a quarter of a cupful of
chopped nuts and a quarter of a cup
ful of cream lastly whip in the white
of an egg beaten to a stiff froth
Spread a spoonful of this mixture in

Remove the saucepan from the fire
add the yolks of three eggs one by
one then the whites of four eggs
beaten up very stiffly Pour into a but
tered mold and bake in a moderate
oven for 30 minutes Serve at once
Plain Orange Salad
Housekeepers who are canny- in
other directions too often forget that
a heavy salad is out of place at the
dinner table Plain orange salad
served with French dressing on let
tuce leaves cannot be improved upon
for most persons by any admixture
Diced pineapple with orange is al-
ways delicious and for variety
peaches or pears may be added
Large ripe alligator pears at their
best now in the fancy fruit shops are
one of the possibilities
Orange Walnut Candy
