"TITANIA'S PALACE"
(To the Editor.)
j Sir, —The paragraphs that have appeared in your paper describing Titania's Palace showed an unusual regard for the delicacy of the feelings of the little ones to be benefited by the showing of this work of art. Never did you mention the hurtful word "cripple." You said "sick" or "invalid" children; it was very considerate, this avoidance of the hurtful word. Many parents and children bless the 'creator of this concrete fairy tale, and Lord Nuffield and others for their wholehearted munificence. But they shrink from the thought of 'the brand "cripple." No one wishes or wished to wound the feelings of the afflicted (their burden is already too heavy) by CO naming the charity, but surely it is not too late to alter the name. You could do much by publishing this, and (further make effective the good taste and sympathy you have already shown. You will earn the gratitude of those who cannot speak.—l am, etc.,
ONE WHO KNOWS—AND FEELS.
