Now here is a question that people honestly ask, and it is an interesting one, "Can you be in love with two people at the same time so that you might marry either?"

I am quite sure that myriads of girls have hesitated a long time between two men, not knowing which one to choose, and it seemed to her that she could be happy with either one. Sometimes it is a case of one man who is wel-to-do and even clever, and another who is not so well-off in worldly goods and yet makes a deeper appeal to the affections. Both are in love with her. What shall she do?

The rejected one is going to be an unhappy man, and she does not want either one to suffer. Perhaps her parents, and even her friends, urge strongly the man of means and position. She realizes that it will be pleasant to have a luxurious home, with cars and servants and opportunity to travel and entertain. What shall she do?
