December 16, 1917, was a Sunday. Most writers hid behind a box number; this one gave his name, though not a street address: general delivery meant he collected his mail at the post office. It ran in the same column as Mr. Rollins of the Adams Hotel, who also wanted to marry. The closing 1t is the printer’s insertion code: one time.

Public domain in the United States: published before 1931.
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.
