SNOBBISH SEX
AUTHOR'S VIEW OF WOMAN
By SHAMUS FRAZER
The dictionary gives any number
of definitions of the word snob; but the word has even more meanings in common usage than are given in the dictionary.
It is used by climbers of their social superiors, and by their social superiors of climbers. It is used by lowbrows in referring to high- brows, and by highbrows in refer- ring to lowbrows. But when all the epithets that are applied to fi -social, intellectual, lowbrow, re- liglous are discarded, snobbery would seem to imply any Intolerance or exclusivencas.
mcon
Let us take social anobbishness first of all-for that is perhaps the most general interpretation of the word snobbery, though by no means the most general form of snobbery to-day. There are still the "Let-me-see-that-will-be-one-of-
the-Leicestershire-Teepa" anola, but they are usually well past middle age. Nowadays little credit is attached to the boast: "My great-aunt, was a Leicestershire Torp"-often a great den) of chaff.
But before the war this type of snobbery was rampant, and the chief offenders were undoubtedly women. Novelists have built eight- and-sixpenny novels out of the theme.
Despite the novelists, the pass- ing of these old social distinctions would be all to the good-were it not that they are being replaced by a more insidious form of snobbery. Again, the chief offenders, are
women.
A woman thinks: "I may be no better than Mrs. A. but I'll take jolly good care I'm no worse." She must read the book and see the film er the play that Mrs. A.
recommends.

JUBILEE BOOKS IN VOGUE
ANECDOTAL RICHNESS
London, June 28. There is a boom among writers As a result of the Silver Jubilee.,
Five of the latest Jubilee books by "The King's Reign" are John Drinkwater (Methuen, 58.); "Twenty-five Years of the Relgn of King George V." by Sir John Marriott
Gd.): (Methuen, 29. "Twenty-Five Years a King" by Sir Austen. Chamberlain (A. & C. the Black, 28. Gd.); "God Save King" by Lady Cynthia Asquith (Chapman & Hall, 2s. 6d.) and "The Book of the King's Jubilee" by Sir Philip Gibbs (Hutchinson, 3s. Gl).
Most of them are packed with eulogies, but Lady Cynthia Asquith's book gives some delight- fully intimate glimpses of the. home life of the King and Queen.
Drinkwater writes: "During the last quarter of a century the English throne might easily either! have fallen into

"On the other hand it has cume more intimately into the life of the nation that ever before, and at the same time it has never been regarded with deeper respect.”

PLEATS, having been voted into style by the big French dress- makers this season, are taking over all sorts of hitherto exempt items of dress. Just showing pleated skirts is enough for the enthusiasts who are behind the movement, Pleated jackets, sleeves, bibs. ruffles, and even pleated hathrims Of the Queen, he says: "The and gloves, are also put forward, movement, but never the caprice.

The result in the creation of a new class whose members all fit into a stereotyped pattern.
INTOLERANCE

At school he was intolerant of any boy who was not athletic, and he would play to-day to the "bloods." In the smoking-room he is intolerant of anyone who is not a "good fellow"--that is to say. one who does not possess a sound golf handicap and the tie of a re- putable Old Boys* club. ̈
The herd instinct may be more strongly ingrained in men than in women; but women are more easily led by the nose in pursuit of what is fashionable. A man is content "to do the right thing"- a very masculine phrase that; but n woman must be "in the swim” and "up to date."
A man wears a white tie with evening dress because every decent fellow knows that a white tie is the right thing to wear. A woman must persuade her husband to buy her a particular style of hat or she will feel inferior to Mrs. A.- and that would never do.
Male snobbery is a sort of trades unionism of "good fellows"; woman's snobbery is that she re garda the rest of her sex as a lot of blacklega who are perpetually trying to steal a march on her in one way or another.

Sir John adds that the King was "not only the pattern of stitutional king, but the ideal of a Christian gentlenian."

Sir Philip Gibbs has edited a popular edition, rich in detail, and containing 500 illustrations. the preface he writes: "During the war many crowns fell in the dust, many kings departed, but when peace came, King George stood on the balcony and looked down on a vast cheering crowd. and he knew that he held the loyalty of his folk. He holds it because of certain qualities of character which we like to think
