GLORIOUSLY beautiful red- haired Greek princes;, Hel " A of Argos, was called upon, about 3109 years ago, to choose a husband. She was the fairest woman in all Greece. Nearly eve’ king and nobleman was sultor for her hand. Greece tn e days was cut up into many small states, each with @ King of its own, [t needed little to these states at war with one an- So Ulysses, wisest of all the other, suggested that each himself to sub- monarch: suitor not only ple t to Helen's choice, defend her (and the echt choose) against any foes.

In those days there were win a wife. He might ask the hi marry another man’s wife oy challenging he band and killing im in fair fight. might ¢ off such a wife, marry her and defend her and himself against her pur- suing husband. Paris chose the last named course, Fighting was not his strong point. He kidnapped Helen and took her by sea to his father’s great walled city of Troy, in northwestern Asia Minor, at the h of the Hellespont. He knew that the warlike Trojans could easily rotect him from any Spartan army. But he did not reckon upon the oath sworn by Helen's suitors. By the terms of this oath nearly every monarch in Greece joined Menelaus !n avenging the theft of the latter’s wife. The combined Grecian armies, under command of Menelaus's brother, Aga- memnon, King of Mycenae, sailed for Asia Minor and laid slege to Troy. The debt incurred by Paris in stealing Helen was destined to be paid im the blood of thousands of innocent men. Helen, mean while, had been cordially welcomed at Troy. She and Paris were married there with splendid ceremonies, They embarked on @ fife 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 150,000 Greeks encamped outside the Trojan walls about 1184 B. C., and laid siege to the city. The Trojans’ admiration for their Prince's pretty Greek bride suddenly changed to wrath. For they saw she had brought upon them & deadly war. Nevertheless, they loyally refused to give up Helen at Mene laus’s demand, and prepared 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 sald to have been invented during the slege by one Palamedes, a Greek.) Mene laus more than once urged Paris to end the useless bloodshed by coming forth and fighting him, man to man. But the young Trojan preferred to let others do his fighting for him. 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 Parle was struck and elain py an arrow. His brother Deiphobus then married Helen, who does not seem to have grieved greatly over Paris's death. The Greeks, failing to carry Troy by aseault, resorted to strategy. They pre tended to sail away, leaving on the seashore a huge wooden horse. The Trojans, thinking this horse an Idol, bore {t Into the one 4 The Stealing of Helen. ’ The Sack ¢ town. Within the wooden animal several Greeks were ne hidden. That night they crept out and opened the gates of Trey, of Troy to their returning comrades. The city was © sacked and utterly destroyed by fire. were massacred, men, women and children allke. Helen was rescued and carried back to Sparta by Menelaus, who freely forgave her desertion. But the other Spartans were leas merciful to the woman who had brought such misfortunes to their country. When Mene- laus died they drove her away. She fled to Rhodes for refuge. The Queen of that island, jealous of Helen's loveliness and fame, murdered her. Thus ended the strange career of a woman whose beauty had destroyed one nation and nearly ruined another. — $+ + _______ Keflections of a Bachelor Girl, By Helen Rowland.
