Traits Of Mrs Astor Gracious Leader Of New York Society
Mrs. William Astor led New York society for decades through calm tact and strict routine. Born Caroline Schermerhorn, she rose from Knickerbocker stock to rule via precise annual balls, Newport season openings, and a famed emerald collection. Her modest dinners with Miss Struck contrasted with grand state entertainments, and her conduct—gracious, discreet, and self restrained—kept her influence intact until death.
