"Silence! boys and girls," he shouted, as a titter ran through the schoolroom.,"I wish I could draw," mused Patricia, absently sugaring her Frankfurter. "I've got tons of ideas already."，"Oh, Geoffrey, how could you do it?" she says, reproachfully, alluding to his marriage,—"you whom I have so loved.
