Happy Though Crippled

Dear Sir, - I should like to say how pleased I have been to read the letters from one-legged girls which you have published in your ever-interesting paper.

I, too, have lost my right leg at the hip joint, so I can appreciate the remarks of others in a similar position. I am sure a girl with only one leg can be quite as charming as a normal girl, if she will only try to fit herself into her old place and act as if it were quite a natural thing for a girl to wear only one silk stocking and one high-heeled shoe.

I have always found that having only one leg does not interfere in any way with my enjoyment and pleasures. I always try to join in any game I may be asked and fall in with any pleasure party, etc., which may be formed by my boy or girl friends.

May I be allowed to suggest that you try to include another story by Wallace Stort in your Summer Number? I am certain this would prove a huge success. I did so enjoy the "Le Moignon D'Or" and "Dr. Nicholas" that I am longing to see another of Mr. Stort's wonderful stories of limbless heroines.

Yours sincerely

Elsie Simmond
