 As the town grew in wealth, it's So- ciety bloomed forth in ever-increasing magnifcence. To the persons who came to New York to make their for tunes, were added immigrants. These took up residence in the city only be- cause they hoped to become part of it's aristocratic social set. The climber" was familiar character in the city long before the Revolution. One of his tribe, whom history, with unwont- ed charity. has almost forgotten, near ly succeeded in turning the tides of what men call destiny, and altering the whole future of this continent. She was Margaret Moncrieffe, most note worthy and least remembered of all social climbers.
 Margaret Moncrieffe worked her way into the disjointed New York so- ciety of the time. If fortune had been little more kind to her. she would have won, in addition to the temporary social position she gained for herself, thirteen colonies for the King her fa- ther served.
