Our selection of Snobs has lately been too exclusively of a political character.

'Give us private Snobs,' cry the dear ladies.

(I have before me the letter of one fair correspondent of the fishing village of Brighthelmstone in Sussex, and could her commands ever be disobeyed ?) 'Tell us more, dear Mr.Snob, about your experience of Snobs in society.' Heaven bless the dear souls!--they are accustomed to the word now--the odious, vulgar, horrid, unpronounceable word slips out of their lips with the prettiest glibness possible.

I should not wonder if it were used at Court amongst the Maids of Honour.

In the very best society I know it is.
