But this time Alice was a very, very bewildered little girl. What could it all be about??? The White Rabbit then called fourth the defendant whom Alice recognized as her namesake, Alice Riley. “What has SHE done?” whispered Alice to the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit explained that Miss Riley, an energetic worker for the Protection of Blind Mice, had broken into the National Legislature and created a great disturbance in demanding the right to talk, causing her immediate arrest. “Call the first witness!” bellowed the King. The first witness, trembling with fear, turned out to be Rhoda Fierce, the Dean of the Latin Department at Columbia. Much frightened, she could only mumble, and was hurried off without delay. The next two main witnesses proved to be Winifred Washburn and Adolf Olson, successors to Vilma Banky and Rudolph Valentino, respectively, on the silver screen. The witnesses followed in quick succession: first. Theodora Sutton, famous tight-rope walker of Broadway; Nance Staples, business manager and athletic instructor of the Society for Brokendown Debutantes; Ruth Thorshov, author of the thrilling novel and best-seller of the day, “Only A Dried Rose;” Lyman Swendson, valet to the Russian Ambassador to Sweden; Mary Wildes, Leader of the 100 in New York; Theodore Rasmussen. Judge in the Divorce Court in Rome. By the time their testimony had been completed, Alice's rapt gaze was employed in staring at the audience, most of whom she recognized as those terrible Seniors.” Seated among them, she saw Madge Stricklcr, the quiet and efficient wife of a poor minister; John Shuman, the Burning Poet of the Age; Ruth Schultz, first women Governor of the Philippines; MacGregor Beadie, the instructor in the Boys’ Gym at U.

Next Alice’s regard drifted over to the Queen's party where, again she saw her old friends: Robert Dc Vinny, the genial Lloyd Hamilton of the Stock Exchange; Luree Chcyncy, America's greatest actress; Margaret Mull, wild-west cow girl in a traveling circus; Arthur Lampland.
