ULTRA OR SUPRA ?

Sns,—I fear that the tag I ventured to use in the letter which you publish this week has suffered a sea-change. In order to forestall any possible amused comment may I say that what I wrote was " ne sutor ultra crepidam"?—Yours, &c., MICHAEL REILLY. 16 Hurlingham Court Mansions, Hurlingham Road, S.W.6.
