One-Legged High-Heeled

Dear Sir, - I should like to add my name to the list of one-legged girl readers of your ever-interesting paper.

I noticed some time ago a letter in your pager signed "Matron" which ridiculed the idea of one-legged girls possessing sex appeal. I was too busy at the time to reply, but I should like to say now that "Matron" could not have come into contact with any one-legged girls, or she would not have made such a statement.

I have been the proud possessor of only one leg for the last fifteen years - since I was five years old - and I am still thrilled with the idea. I do not attempt to conceal the fact that my single shapely leg is all I have in the way of nether limbs. On the contrary, I make it quite plain to most casual observer.

I have just bought a most beautiful shoe - black patent, with a dainty ankle-strap and a red heel 6 inches high. with this I use only one crutch, as I think a one-legged girl looks much more charming when dexterously manipulating a single crutch, and is able to cause a thrill by the effortless swinging which accompanies the use of one crutch.

Life is a long thrill for a girl who wears a 5 inch heeled shoe on her one and only foot. (I speak from experience.) I should like to see more letters from "High Heeled Monoped," "One High Heel," and others, in your interesting paper.

Wishing you every success and hoping that you will publish another one-legged romance shortly.

Yours sincerely,

Single Crutch.
