SNOBS INC.

SIR,—C. B. Fry's story of the Monte Carlo tailor in his article entitled ' Snobbery and Cricket' reminds me of one I heard between the wars about a Paris tailor. In his very large window was displayed just one rather outrageous sports jacket with the following notice: ' Dernier Chic. Tres Snob. Presque Cad ! '—Yours faithfully,
