Toothpicks
By KARIN C. AsBRAND
@McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.

THE toothpicks were the very last
L straw. May Belle had succeed
ed in reforming her family for the
great occasion in every detail ex-
cept the toothpicks. They still re-
posed conspicuously in their decid-
eddy imitation cut glass almost on
the center of the table.
"Your father wants them there"
her mother had interp6sed mildly,
as May Belle attempted to remove
them.
"You have such funny, old-fash-
Toned ideas, Mother" remarked
May Belle petulantly. Larry will
never be able to understand you.
Dinner in the middle of the day,
toothpicks in that terrible cheap
glass, and what's worse than every
thing, seven children! Nobody ever
has seven children nowadays"
you're one of the seven, May"
reported her mother, hurrying out
into the kitchen to haste the roast.
Virginia drew on a becoming pink
sweater and went out into the well
coming sunshine of the front porch
to wait. Asthma, the long, low racer
which in itself was part Of Larry,
ought to be turning around the bend
in the road almost any time now.
Almost she wished he were not COM
ing. Larry, the immaculate, the fas-
tidious, with his big ideas of vast
and promising future. Larry, who
mingled in his business as young
and rising architect with the big
"swells" of the city. She found. it
hard to picture Larry here.
She had promised to wed him,
however, and, forsooth, the whole
family must pass judgment on him
first. That was the trouble with
having a big family. They always
thought they did part of the marry
ing. Larry would want to have
nothing more to do with her."
Her mother came to the porch
door to blow a whistle for the chill
dren-the call to dinner. Pell-mell
they all piled in from the barn and
the hay field, disheveled, healthy
band of youngsters. Pa drew up in
the rear, hopping his hot brow with
a rumpled red handkerchief. Moth
er seized eight-year-old Jerry, the
tomboy, as she bounded for the din
ing room.
Look at your hands," she repri-
manded gently. $50 wash up, all
of you. An pa, you better 60 change
your Clothes"
'Now listen, SAL" began Pa.
"May's young mans gotter git used
to SEEM me in overalls, an overalls
I'm gonna wear"
"Pa," walled May Belle.

honk of an automobile horn shrilled
in on the group, "'cause here he

Larry"
May Belle forgot Pa and his over
alls as the slim, trim, knickered
young man swung his long frame
over the machine door. In twink
ling she was in his arms. The next
moment the family had been intro
duced, and they sat at the table. Pa
did forget. He ate with his knife.
He used toothpicks at will And
the children talked vociferously.
81 like you," put in Jerry, the in
corrigible. II bet you never had
seven kids"
mo, never did," laughed Larry.
"But there were nine kids in my
family. I'm the middle one"
"Geraldine!" May Belle, her face
very red, bolted from the table. Lar
ry excused himself to follow her.
Mother wisely prevented the chill
dren from doing likewise. He found
May Belle in heap on the garden
bench in the summer house. He
laid soothing hand on her Shout
der.
MAY, honey, don't cry So" he
soothed her.
"I'm not crying" she managed
to gasp between spasms. "It's all
so funny and mixed up. You with
the children, the toothpicks, dad in
his overalls. Oh, Larry, it's awful"
cts wonderful" he assured her.
"I've never found place so much
like home. Your dad is a perfect
facsimile of my pa. I never told
you, guess, but he runs the big
Wildwood farm. Your mothers
dinner was every inch what mother
used to make. And even toothpicks.
Pa couldn't go a meal without his
toothpicks right in front of him in
their little 10-cent glass. And the
kids-I've got a kid sister very
much like Jerry, only bit fatter."
ST worried about the toothpicks,"
confessed May Belle. "I've been
very silly"
Sunbeams filtering through the
grape trellis caressed them as they
stood there. Mothers voice fioated
over to them, deep and throaty, in
gentle command.
''Now you young ones, scoot,"
they heard her say. II don't want
to see none of you round here when
May an her young man come in to
finish their dinner. Hurry up now;

Larry held her close.
Aren't big families wonderful"
he whispered.

pened tonight is enough to throw IN
into nervous breakdowns. We don'e
often talk this way. But it's only
fair to tell you something, Quentin,
that may partly explain the way
l feel, the way ! act. When we
were married, eleven years ago, I
talked about marrying for reasons,
about not being carried away by
excitement, about not falling in love.
II told you my idea of marriage
was companionship, home, children.
You were a widower with a deli
cate youngster-" She laughed. ut
seems funny now to think Of Gwen
as delicate, doesn't it?" she said.
"Women were making your life a
burden, and you needed just what /
had to give. I remember our talk
ing of it once, and your saying that
whatever the agreement was before
marriage, however reasonable and
dispassionate the feeling was, no
man could have young wife around
and not come to love her, that is
presuming that he didn't come to
hate her. Do you remember that?"
Vaguely"
"Well, the joke was on me-" Vicky
said, "for had it-had it desperate
ly, the whole time! trembled and
got silly when you spoke to me, I
thought of you all day long and lay
awake dreaming of you all night.
l was the love-sickest woman who
ever knelt down and thanked God
that the most marvellous man in the
world had deigned to look at her!
l never told you, was too proud.
I tackled the big house and the serv-
ants and Gwen; l even went to the
hospital and had your babies, Quent.
But l never dared tell you! You
never asked me to; you took me
calmly for granted, meals and fur
mace and Gwen and babies and an
swering the telephone and buying
you new shirts, and that was the
way l wanted it to be. l didn't
want to be the one to introduce the
silly, the sentimental side of it, cry
when you forgot my birthday, and
expect you to compliment me every
night on the way my hair was done!
I'd said I wanted a certain kind of
marriage-work and responsibility
and companionship, and plenty Of
criticism if I didn't do my job, and
l got it! But I've loved you all the
time! Quent, when you come home
tired at night and 60 to sleep with
your big heavy head on my shoulder,
l lie awake sometimes for joy. Juliet
has nothing on me, nor Beatrice, nor
Nicolette! I've never loved anyone
else, and no woman ever loved
man more, or so much; his old
coats and his voice in the hall at
night, and the way he looks at her
when she's scared in her strange
room in the hospital, the way his
hand pats her hand when she goes
up to the surgery"
She stood up, smiled at him.
"There!" she said. '"That's my
awful confession. I've made you
a speech"
Quent took Victoria in his arms.
you've made me a speech, Vic.
I'll never forget it."
Victoria raised her eyes to her
husbands eyes, and there was in
them the shadow of her indicated
smile.

Raleigh, April 19-During the week
ending April II, the driving licenses OF
1913 drivers were revoked by the high
way safety division of the Department.
of Revenue, Arthur Fulk, director OF
the division, announced today. During
the previous week, 14O driving per
mits were revoked. This brings the
total number of revocations now IN
effect to 1858, although a total OF
more than $4,000 driving permits nave
been revoked since the law went into
effect in November, 1885.
Most of the revocatiOns, as usual,
were for drunken driving, Director
Fulk pointed out, although an increas-
ing number of revocations now are for
two convictions of reckless driving
and for driving after the revocation of
q license. For under the law, it is
mandatory for the division to revoke
the license of any person twice con-
victed of reckless driving, or of any
person convicted of driving after his
or her license has been revoked.
Among the 20 persons whose licen-
SEES were revoked April II were four
who had their revocations extended
for an additional year, because of con-
weed for driving while their origi-
nal licenses were revoked These
were Hulin B. Hunter of Asheville,
who also was convicted of drunken
driving; Roy L. Smith, of Kannapolis,
