The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-10-27
IS SEARCHING FOR
 SOUL AFFINITY
LOS ANGELES WOMAN IN SEARCH OF SOULMATE ASKS THE CITI- ZEN TO AID-THE SPECIFICA- TIONS GIVEN SHOULD DRAW RESPONSES.


 received a registered letter (return card attached) from woman in Los Angeles with the request that it be published couching the request in such an agreeable manner that we have no disposition to refuse her. She is looking for her mate. which she seems to believe is in Alaska. and if he reads the letter which follows be- low, it is up to him to do the rest, as The Citizen is not running matri- monial agency.
 The letter follows:
 A thousand years ago-before the war--it would have been considered a social crime for man and woman to become acquainted without the formality of an introduction. And by way of the mail route. even more rep rehensible. But those conditions have passed-the whole fabric of our social system has changed. owing to the great world war-and today many people of the highest type-people with the finest qualities of heart and mind who for various reasons lack the opportunity to meet those of the opposite sex, socially, whom they care to know, are seeking some means of doing so. Somewhere in the world is a mate for everyone, if he can be found.
 "No one is so accursed by fate
 No one so utterly desolate
 But some heart, tho unknown
 Responds unto his own.
 Responds as if with unseen wings,
 strings
 And whisper ed in its song
 Dear, where hast thou stayed so
 long?'"
 Some of the best writers of today are using the columns of the leading news papers and magazines to advocate the plan of getting acquainted by mail. A few years agO-before the war such a thot would have shocked us that is, some of us. But today, after two years of service among total strangers when no one thot of an in- troduction, and the greatest good fel- lOwship existed everywhere, the con ventions of yesterday seem bit ab- surd and out of keeping with our up and-doing times.
 Many nice women will take advan- tase of the lew order of things and instead of waiting modestlv fCr some ria1. to come and find her, she is go- ing to do little hunting for hercslf. Every woman has an ideal, but far 100 many have been obliged to marry the best man atailable under the cir cumstances, and then trimmed her ideal down to fit him. Now she is going to grab a--not club--a pen, and rush out over the world via print CTS ink. and find the right one-the one she really wants.
 That is precisely my attitude, and thru this article I hope to find the one man in the world want. I have lived awhile in the Yukon territory and know the conditions there, and I have never found any place I loved so well. And like the people. They are bigger, they have broader and saner views of life, and finer spirits than any I have ever known. AS for myself, I belong to good southern family who would be shocked to death if they suspected me of this, but like Eva Tanguay, q don't care." can't toot my own horn very much but l can say this: am the kind of woman that man feels proud to introduce as his wife. I have the ability to adapt myself to any mode of life and get something out of it. can transform log cabin into an ideal home and cook the best dinner a man ever ate have. Then again, I am generally considered one of the most disting- uished women at an assembly ball. am still young. weigh 135 pounds and am five feet four inches. Now that's enough about me. AS for the man I hope to find: He should be 4E or whereabouts, fine physique, gooG character and standing brunette pre-. ferred; he should have a nature which craves and appreciates the truer finer things of life-and the ability and means to procure them. He is uI there in that wonderful country some where! Will he please write me full information and enclose snap-sho or photograph? Should receive other letters, all will be t~~atad with tht strictest confidence and returned tt writer-when shall have made { choice.
