A New Member

Dear Sir, - My wife and I are glad to see letters from some new correspondents lately on the subject of lame and limbless ladies.

Janet is lucky in having a husband who gratifies her every whim with regard to her high-heels and crutches, and what a glorious sight it must be to see her wearing 5 inch heeled shoe daintily supported by a slender crutch.

I think my wife told you in a previous letter that we have another member to our list of friends, a very pretty girl who has been burdened with a crippled leg since infancy, who now has recently returned from the nursing home after a very successful. operation in which her leg has been removed from above the kneejoint. We have been to see her several times since her return home and she is very happy about it.

Her parents have now taken her to the sea for a month's holiday, and when she returns we will endeavour to persuade her to write you herself.

We spent last week with some friends who have a bungalow on the East coast, quite a secluded spot and enjoyed the sea bathing to the full.

My wife is quite a good swimmer and is in her element in the water, although she will not use the lido's here at home since some very unkind and pointed remarks were made two years ago when we visited one near here, despite the fact that we chose an afternoon when few people were there, and she was wearing a costume that practically hid her deficiency. However, we had the beach to ourselves last week and my wife hopped down the sand to the water's edge merely holding the arms of my friend and I.

I was pleased to see in a recent issue that you are shortly reprinting "At the Moignon D'Or." Your new readers will be sure to like this and old readers will surely read it again.

Yours faithfully.

Husband Of Single High Heel.
