Or it is a proof that, accepting their initial premise, all lives can be understood logically. Mr. Erskine has taken Helen jof Troy a woman knownâ€"to us mainly in hert spectacular aspects, as ong whose ‘face "launched a thousand ships," and shown us Helen of Troy at home. ; ; | The story opens as Helen, and her long suffering husband reach once more their deserted hearth. _ ‘After twenty. years there are ‘naturally a number of delicate adjustments which must be made. Nor are their troubles entirely over, either, since their brother, Agamemnon has yet to be killed by his faithless wife whose son in furn,uhys her, and then marries Helen‘s daughter. Those little events treated in a modern manner by more than usually intelligent and sophisâ€" ticated minds gives a situation| which is bristling with the ridiculous/ Mr. Erskine has chosen the unusuâ€" al method of using conversation enâ€" tirely, so we have nothing but the swift duelling! of mind with mind. ~Accepting" Helen‘s first premise or theory of selfâ€"development, we find her the most‘ tolerant, intelligent, sympathetic character in the book, Things usually thought of as comâ€"« mon sense or ordinary respectability suddenly become narrow priggishness.
