Down With the Sn0bS.

In theory the woman who earns
her daily bread is the equal OF the
woman who lives at ease and dresses
in silk and satin, and to the credit
of the American people that theory
is generally accepted in daily life.
There is in most places true spirit
of democracy that makes character
and not social position or wealth the
essential. At nest gatherings, es-
pecially in smaller towns and IN the
newer communities, the wife of a
poor man is as welcome and as high
" esteemed as the wife of a we"lth"
man. But occasionally snobbcry
lifts its head and does mis-
chief. The recent episode at Annap-
oils is a case IN point. Bu; the
swift condemnation and oficial CEN
sure that followed that exhibition OF
class feeling will have a wholesome
effect on others who may have the
same snobbish disposition.
