Wealth and society in New York a portrait of ambitions
New York social life centers on John D Rockefeller Jr and Abby Aldrich with marriage prospects shaping high society. The piece notes Aldrich as an able senator, the Mortons and de Perigord families, theater trends, Swinton’s labor views, and Roosevelt children life at Oyster Bay, painting a vivid late 19th to early 20th century social tableau.
