,m the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
This appeal came to the Herald
office in yesterdays mail:
To the Editor of the Herald: AL
low me to introduce myself to you
as a lady in desperate situation,
and to tell you my story, in the hope
that you can assist me. l can prove
by the best of references that what
/ am writing you is true.
My husband died last spring, leav-
ing me a large amount of heavily
mortgaged property. All has been
swept away, and l am now main
tanned by the generosity of one of
my friends and his wife, who. be-
cause l have a beautiful girl baby
a year and a half old, have felt that
/ should remain with her. The re-
sources that they have drawn upon
for my benefit are about exhausted,
and l find myself with barely a roof
over my head, and no money II
have ability and the education to
make my own living, but | am alone
in New York, and dread putting my
child in a home while l earn my
bread.
/ feel therefore that my baby and
] should have a man to take care of
us, gentleman who will appreciate
a good woman that is lady in every
sense, and can prove it. | do not
think l am doing wrong in express !
ing myself in this way, as men all
want house-keepers for wives rather
than new women of the suffra-
gette type. To me home and home
ties are more than fashion and So
ciety, still | like to look we'll and |
have pleasant people about me.
l am not prepared to accept any
kind of a man. | need husband !
who can maintain me in the manner |
10 which | am accustomed, and who |
can expect to be very happy as a !
reward.
have a nice appearance, am even |
queenly. l have soft voice, a soft |
step. and a soft hand. l am not a |
young girl looking for romance or !
an adventures inviting intrigue. ii
think you can grasp what | am. |
am a lady in distress with a baby
in her arms alone in New York and |
almost penniless, asking for the love
and protection of good man.
desire no man beauty, drunkard, or
man with worn out emotions, but |
decent business man, not under |
forty, one whom my friends will well |
come as a gentleman.
My husband was of that kind
quiet, dignified, tender. home low
ing man without any wish to go
away from me. | loved him devoted /
ly, but l can care as much for an !
other man in another way, a way
to satisfy him perfectly The
strangest part of my situation is that
my true circumstances are not gem
orally known, most of my friends
imagining me a wealthy widow who
chose to live in retirement. That
will be kept up.
| want to be saved humiliation |
if possible. I can do almost anything
from making mince pie or painting
picture to building a snow shovel
in cellar, and I can discuss almost
anything learnedly from housekeep-
ing to the fine arts. Still | can sit |

am trained to be pleasing.
1t seems shameful, therefore, that
should be allowed to go to suffer
poverty Just because / cannot get a
husband with means and good APP
pearance and high character to APP
preciate me. Can you do anything
for me? / cannot hold out much
longer as l am, so if you can,
through your paper, do anything to
assist me please do. Very truly,
ALPHA.
