"Marriage
signified
a
woman's
maturity
and
respectability,
but
motherhood
was
confirmation
that she
had
entered
the
world of
womanly
virtue
and
female
fulfillment." |

As A Socialite |
|
|
|
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.
Among
these
women ,
there
were a
few that
were
socially
ambitious,
such as
the
famous
Mrs.
Astor,
who was
indeed
the
social
arbitrator
of the
Gilded
Age.
Her
annual
Astor
Ball was
the
pivotal
highlight
of New
York
social
life.

Goodness Gracious, What's all The Fuss? Weddings My Dear! |
|
|
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 at
least
1000
invitations
to
society's
elite.
In
addition
to their
satisfaction
at
having
made
good
matches
for
their
children,
they
will
enjoy
the
costly
wedding
gifts of
silver
and silk
that
will be
sure to
follow.
The
wedding
gown
will be
the
latest
fashion
from
Paris,
all
white
satin
and lace
flounces
with a
tulle
veil--and
an
orange
blossom
bouquet.
The
wedding
would
not be
complete
without
the near
mandatory
European
honeymoon.
Only the
best for
this
reach of
society's
well-clad
arm. |
