"A VULGAR PERSON"

The dictionary defines snob as
q vulgar person who affects geh-
tility or social or moral superiority;
a person vulgarly pretentious: a
vulgar upstart. Yet we know in
Cividuals who brag about their
snootinees. They're proud of be-
inp snobs
Snobbe,S1 is more prevalent
among women than men because
women have a greater interest in
social affairs and because there is
2 stronger bond of good fellow
shin among men. If one man

It is only the meek of spirit who
are wounded by snubs. The wom-

out tender feelings or credita5ie
mentality is plain to every one.
All this chasing after beauty, all
this dolling and prettying is for the
purpose of making one attractive
in the eyes of loved ones. And
good appearance makes for self
respect. If one has attained goo''
appearance, why make it worth
less by unnannerly behavior? Iae
girl who looks down upon her SIS
ters, who makes contemptuous re-
marks, soor assumes a facial ex-
rression that effaces what love-

hill of beans if it isn't backed up
by sweetness, amiability. regard

lures.

Shes as pretty as picture, she

that get her? She's snob of pur-

that manner did one girl classify

We have it on good authority
that snobbishness starts young. 1t
flolrishes in our public schools,
coming to the surface even in the
first grade, where certain little
girls cut others whose clothes are
