You will have to satisfy ws that you are not rich. We have made up our minds absolutely on that score. And you must not be a snob. Of course you must have a proper pride; but you must NOT be a snob. 5 When you have heard the mother’s story, you will understand why you " fust not be rich or a snob. Her father, now dead, was a professor in a Western university. He gave to the books that will endure.

It was a home of one room but I was happy in it, until I realized that my husband was ashamed of me because I was Row a waitress, one of the ‘serving class.’ “He was not ashamed that my wages paid the rent—when it was paid at all.” There was, however, a curious courage mixed up with his snobbishness De teminedly, when he staggered forth to take the air on warm days, he would erase, so a possible, all signs of poverty, and pose as a man of leisure and elegant ease man’s condition grew worse, and his people, apprised of it, insisted upon his going a drier climate and receiving skillful treatment More.
