snobbery in New York.

Snobbery is rampant now, and no line
is drawn more finely than that which
separates the world of fashion from
trade and from 1.-THE city," rs the busi-
ness part of the town and its inhabi-
tants arc now called All this is quite
recent too. am q native of New
York and remember very well when
rich merchants, doctors, brokers, Wall
street operators and even the heads of
great retail shops found their vocations
no bar to social recognition. Not so
now. Against them all the protecting
hand is raised. The banker is recog-
nized, but not the broker. A few years
ago the Jolly, free, lively, richly-dressed,
and spendthrift broker was considered
no end of good fellow. Now he is
looked on rs a vulgar and noisy man
who conducts gambling operations for
clients and drinks champagne over a
bar. The doctor receives money from
society. Hence he is as much soeiety's
servant as the dry-goods merchant, and
neither can be regarded rs an equal.
In q word, society in New York to-day
is power that makes its own laws and
draws them more severely every season.
There are only two things about it that
n Newly Yorker finds to admire-its re-
spect for old residents of the town and
its contempt for every other society. It,

Is it wise. asks q writer, for young
men to grow impatient of the counsel
and control Of a good father? He Is
much more likely to be right than
they are, since he has already been
over a bitof the way which is still to
them untried. Even when young
people cannot help thinking their
parents unreasonable IN their CON-
mands or restrictions they should not
rebel. Young people should realize
that no insult, but rather honor, is
shown them by any such restrIcsions.
1t is young thoroughbred horses, and
not donkeys or males, who need re-
straint. and who are considered
worthy to receive it. By obedience
alone is the mind disciplined into self
command, and only he who has
learned to obey can ever know how
to rule.
