Girl Makes Choice of Lovers; Faints

1920

When Two Bring Licenses, She Tears One Paper to Shreds.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota. — For better or for worse Miss Margaret Corcoran made her choice between two lovers and was to be married at once to Howard Rebeck.

Faced with the necessity for making a choice between Rebeck and Donald Walp, both of whom visited her home armed with a marriage license, Margaret fainted. Her parents favored Donald.

As the men glared at each other across a library table the girl picked up Walp's license and tore it to shreds. Then she fainted. Her parents have assented to her choice.
