Context

October 20, 1912, was a Sunday. A good situation was a steady job, and no objection to children told a man who already had them that they would not count against him. She signs as Mrs. Zetter and gives her address as City, that is, San Diego. A year earlier, the same paper carried a widow of 35 who wanted to correspond.
