Six,—There have been a good many references in The Spectator
la to snobbery. I would suggest that snobbery is common to the adolesc mind and has its foundations on fairly sound ground, namely, the sin after something we admire in others which is better than we have o selves. What is wrong with it is that youth has not in the nature things yet attained a very good sense of values and puts a false estima on social status, money or even intellect. If snobbishness survives in adult, is it not merely a sign that that person's mind has failed to mat with the body? A not very uncommon stale of affairs.
I disagree with " Berkshire Curate " that this is more common women than in men, especially with regard to financial and intellect snobbery.—Yours faithfully, V. M. E. Jolts. Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham, Surrey.
