Dear Sir, - I write to congratulate you on the excellent standard of recent numbers of "London Life" Especial praise is due for the increase in the number of pages devoted to correspondence.
I fail to see the logic in the arguments advanced by those who maintain that the wearing of high heels is injurious to one's health. Although only possessing a single leg, I have worn an ultra-high heel for some years now. In my case the strain, if any, should be considerably greater than usual. Nevertheless I can vouch that I have never suffered the least inconvenience.
One-legged girls will find the slit skirt a decided advantage to them. I have had a few made and find them a great help in getting about. The should be slit to just above the knee. It will then be found that by wearing a slit skirt, getting in or out of trams or mounting steps becomes a much easier task. I appreciate the viewpoint of a correspondent whose one-legged girl-friend wore a narrow hobble skirt, but I can assure him that it does not make things easier to wear such a skirt.
Like most of your correspondents, I am also wearing a peg-leg for indoor work. With a pair of shorts it is the ideal method of getting about the house. However, I still maintain that a peg-leg looks hideous when worn out of doors, and deprives a one-legged girl of all her charms.
Again I would like to request you, Mr. Editor, to supply us one-legged girls with some special fare. We have been amongst your keenest supporters, and I think we deserve such a treat in the columns of "London Life" What about a Wallace Stort story, or anything along these lines? Why not give us a few pages of photographs and illustrations of one-legged girls wearing peg-legs or on crutches?
I hope you will consider these suggestions seriously this time.
Yours truly,
One-Legged Ursula
