the line of march to the dining-room. Oh
I forgot my pillows! Here are a half dozen tan, brown, and blue for this
room. Ruth, you arrange them."

The Girl heaped four on the couch, stood one beside the hearth, and laid
another in a big chair.

"Now I don't know what you will think of this," said the Harvester. "I
found it in a magazine at the library. I copied this whole room. The
plan was to have the floor, furniture, and casings of golden oak and the
walls pale green. Then it said get yellow curtains bordered with green
and a green rug with yellow figures, so I got them. I had green leather
cushions made for the window seats, and these pillows go on them. Hang
the saffron curtains, Rogers, and we will finish in good shape for
dinner by six. By the way, Ruth, when will you select your dishes? It
will take a big set to fill all these shelves and you shall have exactly
what you want."

"I can use those you have very well."

"Oh no you can't!" cried the Harvester. "I may live and work in the
woods, but I am not so benighted that I don't own and read the best
books and magazines, and subscribe for a few papers. I patronize the
library and see what is in the stores. My money will buy just as much as

linen. Ye! Ye! You needn't think I don't know anything but how to dig in
the dirt. I have been studying this especially, and I know exactly what
to get."

"Come here," said the Girl, making a place for him beside her. "Now let
me tell you what I think. We are going to live in the woods, and our
home is a log cabin----"

"With acetylene lights, a furnace, baths, and hot and cold water----"
interpolated the Harvester.

The Girl and the decorator laughed.

"Anyway," said she, "if you are going to let me have what I would like,
I'd prefer a set of tulip yellow dishes with the Dutch little figures
on them. I don't know what they cost, but certainly they are not so
expensive as cut glass and china."

"Is that earnest or is it because you think I am spending too much
money?"

"It is what I want. Everything else is different; why should we have
dishes like city folk? I'd
