have but which Numerically opposite to their
true characteristics Mrs A., for instance. honestly
believes that she dsikes the smart set and despses
those of her friends who run after fashionable
people, saying all too frequently for indifference that
she at least is snob." that. las long as she
likes any one, their position in society is imma-

that she is at heart veritable tuft hunter. She Is

The authorities concede. however. that the num-
