Newport snobbish heir and ruined hopes echoed in letters
The Newport letter portrays J. J. Van Alen as a leading snob akin to William Waldorf Astor, opposing his children's American marriages to British aristocracy while hoping their spouses elevate status abroad. It notes the Astor feud over similar matches and hints at Mrs Van Alen’s lifelong absence from the United States. The piece shifts to a local note saluting Mildred B. Dodge’s rapid career rise in the Post Office, highlighting her promotions and current role as acting chief of accounts.
