October 21, 1917, was a Sunday. She lists what she has, an education, a happy disposition, and a cozy home, and then the reason for the ad: but lonely. She asks for companionship, not marriage. Nine years earlier, the same paper carried an amiable and domestic widow who wanted love and companionship.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
