Do you like it ?" "Oh, yes, indeed, papa! we are all very fond of it, and find a great deal of useful information in it.

I wouldn't be without it for a great deal, nor Max wouldn't either; and Gracie likes the part for the little folks ever so much." "Then, we will continue to take it," he said; "also this magazine, 'St.
Nicholas,' if you like it, as I can hardly doubt that you do." "Indeed we do!" she exclaimed: "we wouldn't any of us like to do without that, either.

Oh, I am glad you will let us go on with both that and the paper! "Papa, where is the schoolroom?
You haven't shown us that yet." "No; and here come Max and Gracie," he said, as the two came hurrying in together.

"I will show it to you now." "What, papa ?" asked Max.
"Oh! is there something more to see ?" exclaimed Grace, running to her father, and putting her hand in his.

"Oh, it's ever so nice to have such a beautiful home, and so many beautiful new things to look at!" "It is only your schoolroom this time," her father said, closing his fingers lovingly over the little hand, and smiling down into the sweet blue eyes upraised so gratefully to his.
"Oh, yes, I want to see that! I'd 'most forgotten 'bout it," she said, skipping along by his side as he led the way, Max and Lulu following.
The room he had selected for the purpose was in a wing attached to the main building at the end farthest removed from Violet's apartments; for he did not want her to be disturbed by any noise the children might make, or them to feel constrained to keep very quiet when not engaged in study or recitation.
