This paragraph gives the effect of setting up the speaker/narrator as a bit skeptical of Daisy. He calls her world "artificial" which denotes a sense of triviality in her character. Then, a bit later, uses the word "snobbery" a pejorative that hints at effeteness. He goes on, though, to end the sentence speaking of the "sadness and suggestiveness" of life which, coming from an original upbeat beginning, seems to allude to the future troubles yet to come in the book, in Daisy's life.
