Notes |
- She used her position to establish herself as Queen of the American High Society and rule over the latter for almost 30 years. She employed Ward McAllister, a well known socialite and bon vivant to help her arbitrate New York's Society and establish a list of 400 people, who were to be considered the social elite of America. Thereby, Mrs Astor deliberately eliminated the nouveau rich, railroad or industrial captains of the Gilded Age, to favor instead family descent and old wealth. Mrs Astor's annual January ball that took place at the Astor's vast 5th Ave mansion was the social event of the year, nobody was allowed to miss. The number of 400 was actually derived from the capacity of the Astors ballroom. Mrs Astor's lavish dinner parties were even more coveted events and an invitation was particularly coveted by the newly rich, for the social significance it conveyed. In latter years, Mrs Astor was challenged by Alvah Vanderbilt, the exuberant wife of William Kissam Vanderbilt, a third generation heir of the more recent Vanderbilt family, whose wealth was derived from ownership of the New York Central Railroad. The Astors also had a summer house in Newport R.I., a place called Beechwood, from where Caroline Schermerhorn Astor extended heir reign to this fashionable summer resort in New England.
