Real LOUe
Exists More
Than Once
BY MARTHA LEE

Can real love exist more than
once? There's a question for the
mind to null over. There are those
who say it can not, but prefer to-
think it not only can but does.
1t is foolish sentimentality that
make people refuse to accept this
most normal and plausible fact.
Take the case of the girl who has
been thrown over by some chap.
She loved him to the heighth her
emotions could attain. But is that
any reason why she will not love
some other chap. more deserving
of her affection? I think not, and
rightly So If human beings did
not have the good sense to make
compromises the world would be a
sorrier place to live in.
It is not being unnoble nor sacre-
ligious to admit the coming of a
second love. There is no man or
woman whose life is so blighted
that yearning for love and COM
partnership does not return.
In any walk in life, when a man
or woman finds his choice is unat-,
tainable he selects a substitute,
often times finding the substitute
more valuable than the original
choice. What's one mans substi-
tute is another's first choice anyway.
In most cases I believe a man or
Woman's mental attitude has most
to do with their denying further
love to come into their lives after
8, the one big disappointment. They
close their hearts and their minds.
If love did not come more than
once in lifetime there would be
more spinsters and bachelors than
there are. And the race would fall
into a decline.
Dear Martha Lee-Can real love exist
more than once? am twenty-eight years
old. There have been many men in my
life and have been engaged. / have
had numerous proposals.
I always got a big kick out of kidding
fellows along and making them think I
really cared for them until they got seri-
Gus, then would throw them over and
get someone else. But like most girls, I
always dreamed OF an ideal.
I met him, Miss Lee and didn't realize
it until too late and now I guess I have
lost him for sure. I am heart broken. I
can not forget him. would do anything
in the world to win him back and feel
assured that he could love me.
| My friends, who know Of the affair,
tell me there will be some one else to
take his place, but I don't see how a
love such as I have for him can exist
more than once. 7 60 out with other
men, but simply can not get interested
in any one else. What is your opinion
OF this? JUST NE.
If you really are interested in
winning him back, or winning any
one at all for that matter, it be-
hooves you to do a little repair
work on your character. You might
prepare yourself to be capable Of
holding love when it does come.
The way you have treated your
former suitors is no recommended
ton to your character. 1t is ragged
way of finding amusement and Is
undoubtedly what led up to your
losing the one man you say you
love so much.
Ever since you have been old
enough to have beauX you have
been giving them the merry merry,
and now, for once you have gotten
it yourself and it is almost too
much to bear. A very safe motto
to live by is "Do unto others only.
the things you would have them do
unto you" If they can stand 1t
from your hands, you can from
theirs.
