A
house for herself and her
children
she could forget
with
only a widow's pension.
An
education she'd never had,
except
two years domestic science.
All
she could do was find a man,
who
would support her
and
both her children.
Young
woman, twenty-nine years old,
widow
with two children, seeks
acquaintance with
man of same age,
with a view to a
serious relationship.
This
advertisement she placed,
on
the advice of her friend,
in
a local newspaper, because
living
in with her parents,
was
a dead-end situation.
A
letter, unexpected,
came
from the east of the town,
he
twenty-six years old,
still
living with his mother,
a
member of the Salvation Army.
Probably
love at first sight,
because
a short time later
they
were married.
