Alice at O.L.C. (continued) little girls don ' t come snooping around here at night. You always see me awake because I ' m the Day Lio n. But as soon as it gets real dark, he takes his turn on watch. By the time you ' re out for morning walk, of course it ' s my turn again. Really, no kidding? said Alice? No lion, said Leo. My, said Alice, what a lot you two must see and know about the school and the girls who ' ve gone here for years and years and years. Tell me what do you think of the modern girl compared with grandma when she went to school? Now, young lady, said Leo, that ' s putting me on a spot. I think you ' re trying to twist my tail. But I ' ll tell you — I love ' em all alike, because there ' s not really so much difference as you could squeeze through the keyhole there. Sure, they used to trail around in long skirts and stiff shirts and big buns of hair (pardon me, chignons they were), and now they romp in sweaters and shorts and cut their hair almost like boys ' , and today they think they ' re awfully advanced, but bless you, they ' re the same good- hearted kids from year to year, and each Commencement Day when they come out here in their white dresses with roses in their arms, to have their pictures taken with Dopey and me, well, my old heart is fit to burst with pride and affection. Why, I ' ll bet you the old Dodo up there in the Dean ' s office, and all the other odd characters who teach all that learning — reeling and writhing, distraction and derision, and mystery and drawling and Laughing and Grief — I ' ll bet you they all feel the same as I do, — fair bursting with pride and wiping the mist off their spectacles. Alice was a little doubtful, but her mind was on another track. But she wailed, I often wonder what ' s the sense of learning all that stuff, just to forget a lot of it. I mean what good does it do you? Where does it get you? Now, now, replied the lion, don ' t rush, just be calm and listen to reason. Your face has got some sense in it — though it isn ' t a clever one. You can ' t expect to see results all at once. It took a long time and lots of good food and exercise for you to grow into the fine healthy girl you are now; it takes a still longer time, the best mental vitamins, and plenty of mental and spiritual exercise to make you equally healthy mentally and spiritually — qualified to be an all round useful citizen. Take care of the character, I always say, and the career will take care of itself. Yes, that ' s what I would like to tell them all on the day when they leave here for the last time. When they turn at the gate to have a last look at the castle and wave a last farewell to Dopey and me, that ' s what I ' ll be saying: Don ' t forget — character ' s everything! Well, this is a long speech from an old fellow like me. But it ' s from the heart, you know. And that ' s another thing — character ' s fourfold. There ' s body, mind and spirit, but don ' t forget to exercise your heart as well. Be sure your heart is in the right place, and then let it talk. Well, goodbye now said Leo, as the deep notes of the tower bell warned all who were abroad that it was almost time for dinner. Alice raised her head and tried to gather her sleepy wits. Her Geometry had fallen from her lap and her pencil was at the bottom of the steps. When she remem- bered, she turned quickly to look at Leo, who was as usual staring down the driveway. But Alice wasn ' t quite certain — surely there was a twinkle in the corner of his eye? A voice from above shrilled, Hey, Alice, the bell has gone. OK said Alice, and she scrambled up, a little stiffly. She looked around, and, sure that no one was in sight, she bent down swiftly and planted a kiss on the top of Leo ' s head. I won ' t forget, old thing, she said, and streaked off for the side door. M. H. S. Page Twenty-five
