THE NEW SNOBBERY
? : ? ? ? »
A judge of the English County Court
has been raising his voice in protest
against ' a tailor describing himself as 'a
creator of clothes.' Most of us are in
clined to put on a small swank in this
way (says the 'Aberdeen Press'). Girl
typists are now secretaries, bookkeepers
are accountants, plumbers are sanitary
engineers, barbers are beauty culturists,
customers have become clients. Esquire
has replaced Mr., socks are footwear,
pyjamas are known as slumber suits.
They have gone further in the great
land of democracy across the water,
where undertakers style themselves mor
ticians, and, if an American satirist is
to be believed, there is a Grand United
Ord'Br of Garbage Practitioners. It is
all. a little feeble, and a little simple,
but very natural. After all, there is no
harm in aspiring to be better than we
happen to be. always provided, of course,
that the aspiration is worth something
Tf- ic hhprp t.hp doubt arises.
