SIR,—II is difficult to resist a reply to Mrs. Asrfland's

letter in which she studiously avoids the _use of the word 'pervert' for 'homosexual.' This seems to oe the fashion among those who want to see perversion legalised; but at least she agrees that it is nnatural.

All I want to know is: how can an unnatural per- version be be made into a natural one?

It is as simple as that, and if Mrs. Aspland can tell me without bringing in a stone of red herrings, I will lend her an ear.—Yours faithfully,
