Washington society meets in whispers and whispers
In a lively, opinionated tour through official Washington, a group of women discuss social climbers, dressmakers, and the perks and fakery of capital society. Tales of Susie the servant, canyoned party lists, and private notices reveal how reporters, hosts, and politicians stage status while amid lively chatter about snobbery, money, and the capital’s perfumed social world.
