II WOO WIDOW'ER
 IN SEARCH OF WIFE
S12,O00 Income Requirement Chief Obstacle in Their Way

Ten letters and a personal visit as her home and representing her sister, is this weeks resume of At torney David l.. Nair's business as result of d Nequet received some time ago from a New York man seeking correspondence with a mid = dleaged, refined, New England lady with matrimony as the object.
 Unwilling to make. known the contents of the letters received, At torney Nair stated today, however, that he has sent their contents to the Widower in New York who de- scribed himself as publisher with &n income of S12,00O.
 The requirements that the respon- dent also have an income in the neighborhood of $12,000 year, seems to be the main stumbling block in the proposal. None of the women answering the published let ter's inquiries, have quite that much, they state, but, as one put it, she is taking just as much Of d chance as the man is"
 Yesterday, Attorney Nair receiv- cd q visit from woman who might fill the description sent by the New York widower. She is described as being comedy and attractive, we'll dressed and of apparent refinement. She appeared at the attorneys office seeking the name and address of the client in New York. She claimed to be a representative of her sister in Hartford who might be interested in the proposition.
 ScentinS a subtorfuge, probably from a newspaper in an effort to make the mans name public, Attor- ney Nair requested the woman to have her sister write him a letter stating her qualifications and her answer to the publishers letter. She offered the names of several we'll known Hartford people as refer =nces.
 Attorney Nair expects to be in New York city next week and, while there, he plans to make in luiries about the prospective bride groom.
