Some fifteen years ago—round about 1934—a man was waiting for

a bus in Piccadilly outside one of those shops which sold suits for next to nothing. The papers were full just then of photographs of eminent people wearing such suits and looking incredibly smart in them. The bus-waiter was captured by the idea ; after all the loss of 5os. wouldn't break hitn,,eve.a if he could never wear the suit. Inside the shop he went •profligate, as sometimes happens, and let himself in for 755. The suit was delivered ; it was definitely wearable ; it has been worn every summer since ; it is being worn today ; it is said to be the only suit that really suits him. (Man's name ? Janus.) • a • A
