The
Young
Ladies
were
sent to
the
finest
boarding
and
finishing
schools,
taught
etiquette,
music
and
dance
lessons,
to be
properly
trained
in
widening
their
acquaintance
with the
Brooklyn
Fashionable
Society
of New
York.
Witness
the
social
triumph
of these
young
ladies
as they
are
introduced
to
Society.
From the
moment
she is
born,
the
mother
prepares
her
daughter
to be a
true
gentlewoman
and to
marry
well.
Her
coming
out
meant a
young
woman
completed
her
education
and was
officially
available
on the
marriage
mart."
"Bank
accounts
were
studied
and
ancestral
lineages
inspected,
if both
were met
with
approval,
then the
engagement
was
formalized." |

"All
Victorian
ladies
by which
we mean
women of
sufficient
means to
be able
to
follow
fashion,
wore
roughly
the same
types of
garments
during
the
course
of the
nineteenth
century.
What
changed
was the
cut,
construction

materials."
The

The Young Ladies Of Brooklyn Society: Flirtation , Courtship, Engagement and Marriage |
|
|
Courtship
advanced
by
gradations,
with
couples
first
speaking,
then
walking
out
together
and
finally
keeping
company
after
mutual
attraction
had been
confirmed.
A
Gentleman
had to
take
care in
the
early
stages
of
courtship.
As soon
as he
and she
have
definitely
made up
their
minds
that
they
want to
marry
each
other,
it is
the
immediate
duty of
the man
to go to
the
girl’s
father
or her
guardian,
and ask
his
consent.
At some
time
before
the
wedding,
it is
customary
for the
two
families
to meet
each
other.
After
the
mothers
are
satisfied
that
their
daughters
are
marrying
into
money or
lineage,
usually
trading
one for
the
other,
they
compete
by
displaying
their
wealth
through
lavish
spending
on
decorations,
entertainment,
and by
sending
out
invitations
to
society's
elite.
Of
course
the
young
beautiful
lady
will
wear a
wedding
gown
which
will be
the
latest
fashion
from
Paris,
all
white
satin
and lace
flounces
with a
tulle
veil--and
an
orange
blossom
bouquet. |

"Marriage
signified
a
woman's
maturity
and
respectability,
but
motherhood
was
confirmation
that she
had
entered
the
world of
womanly
virtue
and
female
fulfillment."
The
women of
society
would
take
their
social
obligations
seriously
attending
weddings,
balls,
dinners
and
private
receptions,
as well
as
making
the
necessary
calls on
friends
and
relatives.
Tea Time
was an
opportunity
for the
hostesses,
to
display
their
finest
silverware
and
china
serving
tea to
friends
in the
late
afternoon.
These
"tea
parties"
quickly
became a
popular
social
event,
where
women
could
share
conversation
and the
latest
gossip,
on the
most
recent
news of
Brooklyn
as well
as the
Manhattan
Society
World.
As usual
it was
especially
interesting
to hear
about
the
scandals
from the
other
side of
the
bridge. |

For the
women of
Society
"dressing
for
status,
as an
outward
expression
of
wealth,"
is
essential.
Her
choice
of
fashionable
clothes,
accessories
and body
adornment
indicate
that she
has
sufficient
status
in
society
to
afford
its
maintenance
of
cleanliness
and
neatness.
In their
desire
for
group
affiliation,
these
idle
women
spend
their
lives
and
fortunes,
absorbed
in the
rigors
of
shopping
for the
latest
fashions,
whether
in Paris
or
elsewhere.
And
where
do you
suppose are the
men of
society?
Why working
of
course,
to pay
for
their
wives
and
daughter's
extravagant
fashionable
behavior. |

The Young Men of Brooklyn Society: The Bachelors |
|
|
|
The
bachelor
sons of
the
wealthy
men of
society,
may
choose
to
remain
as such,
rather
than
commit
themselves
to the
responsibility
of a
wife,
which
can
become
quite
costly
with her
extravagance
of
irrational
expenses,
while
others
lament
or make
the
excuse
that
they
have not
found a
suitable
feminine
partner.
Some of
these
young
men lead
useless
and
unproductive
lives
carousing
with
their
acquaintances
till the
wee
hours of
the
morning,
while
papa is
occupied
amassing
his huge
personal
fortune.
As long
as his
bleary-eyed,
shaky-hand
son puts
in an
appearance
at the
office
in the
morning,
papa is
quite
content
with
that.
Yet
there
are
other
young
men,
that
choose
to
follow
in their
father's
footsteps,
winning
success
for
themselves
on their
own
merits. |

"The
dress of
a
gentleman
should
be such
as not
to
excite
any
special
observation,
unless
it be
for
neatness
and
propriety.
The
utmost
care
should
be
exercised
to avoid
even the
appearance
of
desiring
to
attract
attention
by the
peculiar
formation
of any
article
of
attire,
or by
the
display
of an
immoderate
quantity
of
jewelry,
both
being a
positive
evidence
of
vulgarity.
His
dress
should
be
studiously
neat,
leaving
no other
impression
than
that of
a well
dressed
gentleman."

Handbook
of
Etiquette,
1866 |

The Wealthy Businessmen of New York. |
|
|
|
In the
World of
Society,
the
chief
effort
of every
man is
to
secure
wealth,
and lots
of it.
Wealth
is an
absolute
necessity
to the
enjoyment
of
social
pleasures.
These
men
would
work
very
hard,
planning
and
scheming,
with a
persistency
that
often
wins the
success
they
covet. A
sudden
fortunate
speculation
on the
part of
the
husband,
or the
father,
may
bring
them
enormous
wealth
in the
course
of a few
days.
The
wives
and
daughters
of these
men live
up to
every
cent of
their
incomes,
and
often
beyond
them,
striving
to outdo
their
acquaintances
in the
New York
Society.
They are
lucky
indeed,
if they
can hold
their
positions
long. |

Wall Street, New York City's Financial District: The Heart of Society's Wealth |
|
|
|
"Wall
street,
is the
great
financial
centre
of
America.
It has
been
remarked
that the
men who
do
business
in Wall
street
have a
prematurely
old
look,
and that
they die
at a
comparatively
early
age.
This is
not
strange.
They
live too
fast.
Their
bodies
and
minds
are
taxed
too
severely
to last
long. No
man can
tell one
week
whether
he will
be a
beggar
or a
millionaire
the
next.
While
one man
makes a
fortune
by a
sudden
rise in
stocks
or gold,
one
thousand
are
ruined.
Even the
soundest
and best
established
firms
fall
with a
crash
under
these
sudden
reverses.
The
privilege
of
owning a
seat at
the New
York
Stock
Exchange
in 1902
was
valued
at
$80,000.
The
Purchase
of this
seat
gives
the
member
an
opportunity
to stand
for five
hours of
every
business
day and
trade
with
such of
the 1099
members
as may
be about
in those
elusive
commodities
known as
stocks,
bonds,
bullion,
and
loans." |

Wealth At Risk, A Reverse of Fortune |
|
|
|
Not a
year
passes
where
there
isn't
mentioned
the
failure
of a
prominent
businessman
in New
York.
His
friends
would
sympathize
with his
situation,
reassuring
him that
it was
not his
fault,
that he
was
prudent
and
industrious
in his
business,
but that
his
family
was
irresponsible
by
living
beyond
his
actual
means in
order
not to
lose
their
place in society.
The
fortunes
that
were
spent
every
year in
dress,
entertainment
as well
as
furnishing
their
houses
in the
most
sumptuous
style
were
overwhelming.
All this
extravagance,
and when
the
crash
comes
they are
ruined.
Where so
many
smiling
faces
have
been
seen,
there is
gloom
and
uneasiness
in many
of the
homes of
the
wealthy.
Fortunes
are
wiped
out or
badly
hit, as
a result
of a
financial
crash. |

Brooklyn's Aristocracy: The Ihpetonga Ball and Other Society Balls and Receptions |
|
|
"A
literal
translation
of the
Indian
word,
Ihpetonga
is "On
the
Heights,"
but
nowadays
the word
practically
means
"Brooklyn's
aristocracy."
Ever
since
the
Hamiltons
built
themselves
a
"suburban
house,"
over a
century
ago, on
what is
now
Columbia
Heights,
there
has been
an
"exclusive
set" in
Brooklyn,
and to
hold the
Ihpetonga
Ball is
one of
its
great
functions.
This
ball is
to
Brooklyn
what the
Patriarch's
Ball is
to New
York.
Brooklyn
is noted
for its
beautiful
girls
and
fine-looking
matrons,
and with
the
handsome
gowns
worn to
The
Ihpetonga
Ball, it
is
evident
that she
will be
in no
danger
of
losing
so
satisfactory
a
reputation." |
