Happy On One

Dear Sir, - I have been staying in London some time, and through a boy friend I have made the acquaintance of "London Life."

May I congratulate you on some of your numbers which he has shown me?

I belong to the company of those who have to get along with one leg instead of two, but for many years now I have been thrilled by my one-legged condition rather than distressed by it.

This all began by meeting a charming man who was fascinated by monopedes and by my "one and only" in particular.

I am going to ask him, next time we are together, if he will write an account for me of our first meeting and how our friendship developed.

I want him to write it because he led me to be thrilled also, and it is all rather remarkable.

I hope you will publish this letter and the history of our meeting later on, because although you have occasional letters from girl monopedes I don't suppose you have had one from a girl who is so happy that she would not change places with any one of her two-legged sisters.

With slender black polished crutches, a brand new patent-leather high-heeled shoe, and my waist firmly held by a beautifully cut corset, I have made many male conquests, and am thoroughly pleased with life.

I reply to the new monopede who wrote recently, of course she feels run down at first, but a big effort has to be made, and then all goes well.

Yours truly,

Quite Happy Hopping.
