hume were cashiered when they
went to jail, but Sam insult con-
tinued among the elite for a
year after he had to jump the
country, leaving behind him a
train Of ruined widows who had
trusted his financial prospectuses.
Talent doesn't count-Irving Ber-
lin was kept out even when he
married Ellin Mackay, who had
been in the Register since her
subdeb days.
The result is that few people
know who our elite really are
and how we'll they compare with
European aristocracy. We feel
inferior to Europe in culture and
social graces. Let royalty, even
minor royalty, visit America, and
our social leaders go all out to
bend knee. Let fine Ameri-
can girl whose father has ac-
cumulated a fortune marry a
titled European, and the Ameri-
can press cuts idiotic capers-
implying that the nation has been
greatly honored. Only few of
our most perceptive social crit
les have seen through the show.
One of them was William Cow
per Brann, the Iconoclast, who
wrote, in 1895:
"The approaching marriage Of
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt to the
Duke OF Marlborough is agitat-
ing the social world from centre
to circumference. New York's
Four Hundred are standing on
their hind legs and wildly waving
their ears. If Heaven and Earth
should again embrace to beget
a second Saturnus - the pencil
pushers could not be more pro-
foundly impressed.
"And who the devil is the Duke
Of Marlborough? The Duke is
the linea1 descendant of old John
Churchill and Sara Jennings =
two of the most disreputable
ducks that ever disgraced the
earth. John utilized the virtue
of his sister to break into the
British 'nobility-fawned at the
feet of her princely paramour so
long as he had power to promote
his fortunes - then turned trait
or and sold his services to Will
liam III - by whom he was
ever regarded with suspicion and
treated with contempt. Sara
Jennings - too cold-blooded to
play the prostitute herself - was
content to tend door and share

for admission to its pages, nick
named the book the cash regis
ter" But the Social Register
continued to boom. Keller died
OF cancer in 1922 and his nephew
Charles Keller Beekman took
over. Under Beekman the book
reached its peak; it was published
in 2l cities and it made a profit
Of fifty thousand dollars year,
The Depression cut its success
sharply, however, and today the
Register serves only twelve cities.
It is now run by Bertha East
mond, who was Keller's secre-
tary. and before that the daugh-
ter Of railroad conductor. His
will provided her with a job at
$4,000 a year for life, and when
Beekman died in 1941 Miss East
mond became the whole editorial
board of the book. Since that
date this grey-haired lady, now
in her late sixties, has been the
sole arbiter Of who is and who
is not society in Anna.
Nobody knows how she decides
to add name or toss one out
of the sacred book. Apparently
her method is a secret between
herself and God. She spends most
Of her time at her modest sub
urban home in Summit, New Jer-
sey, and comes to New York only
once a month. There is no evil
dence that on these monthly vis-
its she Iningles with the social
world over which she wields such
power. And her exercise OF
her power is at times completely
batting. Her standard isn't
wealth,-Walter Chrysler of the
automobile dynasty is in, but his
brother Jack is out. Even birth
is no guarantee of permanence-
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., was
booted out pronto when he pub
lished his book Farewell to 5th
Avenue" Elliott Roosevelt was
bounced when he married Faye
Emerson, but Louis Kaufman and
August Belmont both married
actresses-and their wives were
made Registerites, too. Richard

America began to wonder
about who was and was not So
ciety some fifty years ago, and
it got off to false start. Its
first judge was Ward McAllister
al his best acharlatan and at his
worst a snob-a hanger-on at the
home of Mrs. William Astor,
whose great husband had inher-
tied one Of the first great AM
erican fortunes. To lift himself
above the other hangers-on, Nc
Allister drew up a list which he
called New York's Four Hun
dred, and included himself. (He
took the number four hundred
because that was the capacity of
Mrs. Astor's ballroom.) He got
away with it for awhile-the Four
Hundred he selected became the
social rulers of America. Eventu-
ally, however, he fell from grace
and landed outside his own select
circle: "McAllister," said a form
er friend, SIS a discharged SER
want. That is all"
After McAllister came the so
cial Register" which is still, for
some strange reason, the bible
Of our Society. Louis Keller,
whose father had left him for
tune, and who had the instincts
of a financier, noticed the tre-
mendous stir that McAllister's
Four Hundred had made and de-
cided that he could rake in a
tidy pile by publishing a gossip
sheet, "Town Topics" and sup
plying a mailing Cor sucker) list
for advertisers. "Town Topics
Topped, but the list, called the

success. Keller made all the

NEW YORK LENA GETS
QUEEN TITLE: They're ravsng
SO much about Lena Horne's ter
rifle appearance at the Bill Mill
ler's Riviera in New Jersey -
which is doing 25ee more busi-
ness than it has ever done-that
the management took out an ad
in all daily newspapers citing
Lena as the "Queena". This is
how the copy read: "Over on the
other side, they're in tizzy
about tn Coronation. Over on the
Jersey side Bill Miller is busy
with the crowning of Lena Horne
as the undisputed queen of the
nations singing stars" Acting
every inch of a queen, Lena is
simply regal in her new divinely
simple gowns barring enough but
not too much so that she can be
demure and yet sexy as the song
suggests. She's even wearing her
regal fashion. No longer cut real
short, Lena has allowed her
tresses to grow out and be de-
signed with jewelry etc. to
match her gowns. JUANITA

You see - the socialites and
the true elite are not always the
same people. Here in America
we have all the material neces-
sary for creating a true aristoc-
racy, a social leadership that
would be the envy of the world.
Unfortunately, all our previous
attempts have been based on the
European model, while what we
ought to do is set out on our own,
form our own criteria of accom-
plishment and culture.
