Finally wrestled it from its packaging and only had to repair the aerial and both mirrors.

"Cat's Pyjamas", eh? That's cute......

I didn't know that phrase was known on your side of the pond. My mother used that phrase and I just figured that was just one of the many phrases she used taken from the Gatsby era. My mother was a Manhattanitelived and worked there from the 20s to the end of WWll. She used to frequent the night clubs and jazz clubs as part of her job.

Wasn't it an American cartoonist, as you say, in the Twenties who made the description popular?
