“I’m sure I don’t know. I never thought of it before.”
CHAPTER XVII.
THE MISSING WORDS IN THE MOTTO.
How the girls of Lakeview Suite were working at their lessons these winter days! Nor were they the only ones. Eloise came in one day from a long practice on piano and said as she threw herself wearily into a chair, “I think we left out the most important word in our motto.”
“Which motto?” asked Hilary, “Psyche Club?”
“Yes.”
“‘Fides, Amor, Immortalitas.’ What would you put in, Madam President?”
“Didn’t we include ‘effort,’ before Psyche attained Olympus?”
“We did.”
“Then why not ‘Labor,’ just before Immortalitas? Faith, love, work, immortality.”
“You’re right, Eloise,” said Cathalina with approval. “You mean, I suppose, that we are all working hard and ought to have something in the motto to express it.”
