Ripe For Another Adventure

Dear Sir, - I should like to convey to "Dorree," through the medium of your columns, my very sincere thanks for her very interesting letters and snaps. How much more convincing these letters from monopedes are when accompanied by snaps. Incidentally, "Dorree" may be interested to know that the photograph of herself and her friend which appeared in the "Daily Mirror" about two years ago remains one of my treasured possessions.

If she can find time, perhaps she would be kind enough to let us have a history of her life since she lost her right leg, illustrated by snaps and photographs.

In particular will she let us have her views an the following matters, provided she does not find them too personal:

  1. When, and in what circumstances did she meet her husband and her monopede friend?
  2. Why does she prefer crutches to an artificial leg?
  3. Does she find that the people with whom she comes into contact pay her more than the ordinary attention because she is one-legged, cheerful and charming?

May I also mention Miss Olive Kent, the lovely one-legged dancer, whose photograph was published in your April Double Number, and make a similar request to her? We should all be interested to hear of her athletic accomplishments; and, if she wishes to please us especially, she could send a snap of herself attired in a bathing costume.

Finally, may I suggest to Wallace Stort that the time is ripe for another adventure of "La Belle Monopede?"

Yours truly,

Also An Admirer.
