Questions For Girls To Answer

Dear Sir, - I have been interested in the various letters from girl monopedes, and am wondering if any of the fair sex feel the same attraction for one-legged boys that seems to exist in some of my own sex for girls with a single leg or arm.

I am a one-legged boy of 22 myself, and my left side possesses only a short leg stump of a few inches. Now, a girl monopede's skirt conceals her amputation to a great extent, but my pinned-up trouser-leg, alas, only shows it too plainly and makes me very shy of seeking girl friends.

However, I am much in love with a pretty dark-haired girl, but dare not confess it for fear she should dislike my single leg. I am a great admirer of high heels, and this particular girl wears the most adorable little stilt heels, and walks on them with the greatest ease and grace.

I wonder if some of your lady readers would tell me whether they themselves would feel a one-legged husband an utter impossibility, or whether my condition would excite their pity and love.

In the town I live there are two one-legged girls, and both are happily married. I should be glad to hear your lady readers' views on my case.

Yours truly,

Single Leg
