Dear Sir, - I was interested to read "Barnum Junior's" letter, but personally, when more than one limb is missing I am not so attracted, partly no doubt because of the handicap imposed on the victim; nor does the loss of an arm intrigued me as does the loss of a leg.
I must confess, however, that the sight of a pretty one-legged girl swinging along on a crutch or crutches has a great fascination for me. I do not like a peg-leg, and I abominate the artificial leg, the use of which always gives a very ugly walk.
What do your other readers think on this subject?
Yours truly,
Lover Of Monopedes.
