He had asked Bart and Joel to help change the stoves around, imd Debby sat on the edge of one of the dining room chairs and watched stoically as they carried out the old pot-bellied stove and brought in the new oil heater. Pretty soon nothing would be the sr.me. She sat still, following Ellie and Joel and Bart with her eyes as they moved around the room. Ellie was being important and scowling and not looking at Agnes because he was so self conscious about how good-hearted he'd been to buy it lor her, and Agnes was sitting there saying.' "That's going to he wonderful, that's going to be great; just think, nc more ashes tracked across the floor," and not meaning it because it wasn't the kind she had wanted. $ebby was thinking. "Gee, she's good. Im tgine fitting there saying things like Uu.t when it isn't the kind you wanted." They had brought the new heater in, and it was sort of a frosted block instead of being painted up like wood the way Agnes had wanted it. Ellie was explaining about it to Bart. "She picked one out cf hex catalogue there," he said, "big enough to host, the Woodland Garden Dance Hall, and with a lot of fancy stuff you don't need. Fifty-nine niuety !',vc. it was. That's sixty dollars, Inckin' a nickel." Working with his left hand his right arm was still, id its'-sling he pulled the eiass tank . out of its canon, set n .. -ifil and wrirwH it ojith a cloth..

Ellie looked over his shoulder. No, that end goes on the valve. And the valve screws in here, and that's all there is to it." Agnes was sitting still, watch ing, and now her eyes were smoldering. Ellie shouldn't have made out she was dumb like that, Debby thought, especially when she was being so good about it. Joel picked up the valve and jiggled the floater with bis fin ger. "What happens if the valve gets stuck?" he asked. It don't get stuc'z," Ellie said coldly. "Will you leave the valve alone please?" Bart carried the tank over to the back cf the heater. "Is there a holder for this thing?" he asked Ellie. "We'll have to set it on some blocks of wood." That's going to look great," Agnes said ominously. "Well rig up soraethuv better lookin' later." Ellie held his ruler against the basetoord. "Some blocks of wood will do for now, just to get her goin. Debby, you run out to the barn and get some blocks of wood, different sizes. An armful of 'em." Joel said, "I'll help you," and he followed her out U the barn. He watched her as she clambered over the pile in the corner, tossing out ' some two-by-twelves and some four-by-ftturs and v some two-by-fours. "YouTl find a saw in Uie workshop there," she said.

She stared at him. "Oh," she said, and then, "It's up the other side of Orleans." "Would you like to go there with me?" Debby looked blank. "To the Woodland Garden?" "Why not?" "Gee," she said, "I don't know." She felt herself blushing. "When?" "Tonight. We've had an un godly amount of fresh air. Don't ! you think a little night life would do us good?" She could feel it not only in her cheeks but way down in her neck and up on her temples. She didn't know why she should be so ex cited, except that everything be fore had just sort of happened, and this was like a real date, planned out ahead of time. "I guess the Woodland Garden icn't muah like the places you're used to," she said He laughed. "What kind of places do you think I'm tised to?" She smiled timidly. "Oh, those clubs in New York where the orchestras you hear on the radio play. And the ballrooms of the hotels. Bart and Ann go to the iopiey j'laza." she addea, "anu ( the Somerset., and sometimes the H:tz. The Woodland is just a plan; and it's full of a lot of ppople like us."

The capital of New Jer sey." ' "What about it? . "You ought to see it some time." "Is it near Princeton?" "Yes." He sawed the other log and hung the saw on its hook. "Wen, what do you. say??
