Happy On One Leg

Dear Sir, - I am writing to say how very much I appreciate the the article on "One-Legged Girls" which have appeared in your entertaining weekly.

It would appear as if there are quite a number of your lady readers who have lost one or more limbs and all seem to derive much pleasure from these stories, etc.

I lost my right leg at the hip-joint about five years ago, so I can fully appreciate any letter or article referring to this fascinating subject.

Life on one leg is quite different from having two shapely limbs or walk about on, although it can provide very delightful experiences if taken in the right light.

I do not think a girl with only one leg need hide away from curious eyes but rather that she will have a great deal of pleasure in her one-leggedness if she will mix with others in the normal way.

I also think that a one-legged girl should wear a high heeled shoe or boot, as this adds greatly to her natural fascination and also tends to give her a feeling of dainty treat.

I do not wish to encroach upon your valuable space unduly, but I should like to prevail upon you to publish some more stories by Wallace Stort, with illustrations by your charming artist, Enid Stanton as I think (and have been told by others) that this is a feature of your entertaining paper.

Yours truly,

Hoppy Typist.
