wounds of veterans returning from foreign war zones. A former chairman of the New York Racing Commission and an army veteran himself, Earle Mack and the Jockey Club generously funded the successful Phase One of the MOW Project, which will now move on to a national level. Kudos to you, Mr. Ambassador, and our thanks too!

And finally, Quest says farewell to the indominable Marylou Whitney, the philanthropist, society hostess, dog sled racer, and horse breeder who died last week at 93. She was a true blue American dame, and the de facto Queen of Saratoga.

Allow me to close my opening stanza above with another quote about August from the sage DPC: “August is anticipatory, but with reserve.” And that’s why he’s our E.I.C.! u J E F F H I R S C H ; S L I M A A RO N S / H U LTO N A R C H I V E / G E T T Y I M A G E S ; E R I C A M I LLE R / S A R ATO G I A N . CO M ;

MOST YEARS, AUGUST brings summer’s “dog days,” a welcomed respite during which to catch our breath before the onslaught of the often-frenzied fall season. And at Quest for the past 24 years (!), August means our annual 400 List, born from the stratifying mindset of Mrs. Caroline Astor’s snobby publicity hound, Ward McAllister. Amusingly enough at Quest, the 400 List was the space-filling “eureka!”-moment brainchild of our esteemed Editor in Chief, David Patrick Columbia (DPC to all), who 24 years ago was in desperate need of last-minute copy, well knowing that all readers love lists. Our critics and competitors may claim that such lists are outmoded in today’s meritocratic age, but we continue to believe there’s indeed a place for recognizing the tradition of gentility and good manners in a decidedly ruder culture. I mean, look at Elsa Maxwell “relaxing” above!

Now, when you finally take your nose out of the 400 List and the nine American families whose blood might be even bluer than the Astors’, please check out our interview with Philip K. Howard, a “400” lawyer who has long been a respected advocate for legal and government reform. Philip’s most recent book, Try Common Sense, smartly argues that “Washington can—and should—be fixed.” It’s heady stuff, but increasingly necessary.

And don’t miss Senior Editor Kathryn Maier’s stunningly illustrated feature on the lovely and talented designer Gil Walsh.

Well known and highly regarded in Palm Beach for her unique skill with color, Gil has been creating more nature-influenced interiors on Martha’s Vineyard for nearly 25 years.

Further on in this large August number is our well-deserved shout-out to former Ambassador Earle Mack and his visionary Man O’ War (MOW) Project to combat PTSD in returning American veterans, essentially using retired thoroughbred horses as therapists. Quest’s erudite and popular columnist of nearly two decades, Jamie MacGuire (aka Audax), has revisited his earlier profile (August 2017) of the MOW Project, tracking the measurable progress it has generated in healing the PTSD

NEW YORK SOCIAL DIARY THIS

IS

THE

ANNUAL

Quest 400 issue, as you can see. What began more than 20 years ago as a last-minute hunt for copy has, over time, become a tradition, or at least an annual custom every August in Quest magazine. What solved the problem the first time (an interesting list, as readers love lists) was inspired by Mrs. Astor’s 400 list, which was created back in the late

1860s.

Mrs. Astor’s list was specifically exclusive. It was an instrument both political and social. The idea may have come from her amanuensis, one Ward McAllister. McAllister was an early social publicist, professionally speaking. He was also a

snob in how he saw his heritage versus someone else’s.

Caroline Schermerhorn Astor was in her mid30s when she established her social power.

Married for 10 years to William Backhouse Astor Jr., she was the mother of five—four daughters and a son—when

QUEST, NOVEMBER 1987

she took on the role of the social arbiter in New York.

Her husband, William Backhouse Astor Jr., was the second son of William Backhouse Sr., son of John Jacob Astor.

Despite William’s enormous inheritance, his father and then his elder brother, John Jacob III, ran the family real estate office, in the British custom of primogeniture. As much leisure

time was an unheard-of luxury for most people in those times; for Caroline’s husband it was a weight that turned him into a kind playboy. He had no interest in Society or social life, and within a few years of their marriage, he began spending much of his time away from the family residence in New York. He was often either at his estate in Rhinebeck (which Caroline rarely visited), or sailing on long voyages on his yacht, the Nourmahal, with friends as well as mistresses. Caroline detested Rhinebeck, and 24 QUEST

rarely if ever joined him on the Nourmahal, claiming seasickness.

She was born in 1830 into a Dutch-descended family that first settled New Amsterdam in the 17th century.

They were very prosperous.

Her mother’s closest friend was the wife of the great American statesman Daniel Webster. She was 24 when she married William Backhouse Astor Jr., a grandson

of John Jacob Astor, who strongly believed in his issue “marrying up” socially.

She came into her own as a young woman in the Victorian age, and greatly admired Queen Victoria. The Queen was only eleven years her senior, and therefore a woman of Caroline’s generation. She was only 18 when she came to the throne, reigning over what was then the most powerful empire on the

planet. England’s international possessions were so numerous that it was said that “the sun never set on the British Empire.” Because she loathed the limelight as well as the filthy London air, Victoria underplayed the role openly, avoiding the public while maintaining her authority and power with everyone surrounding her.

Caroline saw herself as playing a similar role in New York. It was a time when it was believed that a lady’s name should appear in public only at birth, mar-

In an age where all women (with the exception of Queen Victoria) had the same rights as children (which is to say, none), Caroline Astor took the public role of explaining the ways in which the (i.e., her) Social power was expressed by “the distinction of giving the best entertainments, having the most beautiful clothes, the finest horses, the richest jewels—all weapons in the struggle for supremacy.” She felt her role was similar to that of the Queen.

The Astors were at the time one of the richest families in America. Its patriarch made a fortune in fur trading and the Chinese

opium trade, and shrewdly invested his profits in New York City real estate back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. When he died in 1848 at age at 84, he was the wealthiest man in the country.

The land he owned today has a value totaling in the billions, and future generations acquired even more wealth from those lands (which he did not sell but rented) as they increased in value. William Backhouse Jr. benefited greatly from his grandfather’s largesse, and so did his wife and children.

From the 1850s up through the early 1890s, the couple occupied an

enormous brownstone on the southwest corner of 34th Street and Fifth Avenue. The Astor family plot, which covered the block between 33rd and 34th, was also occupied on the corner of 33rd Street and Fifth by another brownstone (separated by open land) belonging to William’s brother JJ III, and after that by his son Waldorf Astor. It was at that location where Caroline Astor’s ballroom was said to have a capacity of 400. (The number was in fact 369, but Ward McAllister thought the round number was better for publicity’s sake.)

Caroline remained at the 34th Street location as

the city’s population grew, and long after the new rich moved farther up the avenue—such as the Vanderbilts, who built several palaces from 51st up to 58th Streets (known at the time as “Vanderbilt Row”).

Her world was now changing rapidly—the invention of the electric light, elevators, the telegraph, the telephone, and the motor car were altering civilization.

Nevertheless, Caroline’s annual entertainments included a ball given every January, where, bedecked and lit up by lots and lots of diamonds, she was seated on a throne-like chair on a platform to greet her guests. She was the queen of New York in her concept, well aware of the position she created, as well as what was required to keep it.

of 33rd and Fifth, however, Caroline’s nephew William Waldorf Astor long resented that his aunt’s calling card was still simply “Mrs. Astor,” as if ignoring that there were now several Mrs. Astors in New York, including his own wife. Finally, in 1890, he had his house demolished, and on the site in 1893, he built a hotel called the Waldorf. He then leased it to hotelman George Boldt, and moved his family to London—where he eventually became Viscount Astor of Cliveden.

In 1892, William Astor died (in a hotel in Paris) and, in 1894, her son Jack (JJ IV) persuaded her to give up 34th Street for a new, enormous French Renaissance double chateau at 840 Fifth Avenue, 30 blocks north at the corner of 65th Street.

She continued to entertain at dinners with her gold service.

Now in her late 60s, the times were a-changing, and age had begun to intrude on

Caroline Astor’s energy as a hostess and therefore on her place in Society. Divorce had become commonplace among those in her world, although she continued to adhere to older traditions.

Persons who went the route

of divorce courts were automatically banished from her guest lists. That is, until her own daughter Charlotte divorced her husband, James Coleman Drayton, after her love letters to her lover were published in the papers.

Right after the divorce, Caroline held a reception and received guests with Charlotte at her side.

In the previous decade, the world of Society had also changed dramatically, with the rise of younger wealthy women such as Mamie (Mrs. Stuyvesant) Fish, Tessie Oelrichs, and especially the dynamic Alva Vanderbilt Belmont, who

Sherry’s restaurant became so popular with Society that it became fashionable for couples dining out, and luncheons for the ladies. Even Caroline Astor experienced the thrill of the new: lunch at Sherry’s without an escort.

She had continued to entertain guests at cocktail receptions, luncheons, and dinners. Her son and daughter-in-law were often away—often separately— and she became a

replacement mother with her grandson Vincent. He was a child when his father first took him up to the construction site with only an enormous hole in the ground at 840. When his father remarked to the boy that this would be his new home, the boy was terrified by the thought that he’d be living alone in a great dirt hole.

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A choice diction.” She was impressed by her subject’s “simplicity and charm and her many intellectual interests.”

With the world at large markedly changed, Mrs. Astor’s world remained.

Her insights were notably superficial, a reference to her own experience in life.

“Money,” she told the interviewer, “represents with us energy and character: It is acquired by brains and untiring effort; it is kept intact only by the same means.”

“Best of all,” she said, “there is the American idea, demonstrated about us every day, that each man can bring happiness and comfort to himself and to those he loves if he will only set about it, and

that educations, books, pictures, travel are well within his means.”

About herself she confided, “Many people seem to think I could have done a great deal in making New York Society as democratic as it is in London and open to anyone of intellectual attainments, as it is over there. But one can only do one’s best under the conditions.”

She added “We have to be more exclusive in New York because in America there is no authority in society, and Americans in general are not inclined to admit its possibility. Each woman is for herself and trying to outdo the others in mad display and mad extravagance, with little

thought of any inimitable good or any ideal.”

Still in that mode, she continued, “When our girls marry, they take up the management of establishments in town and country, they rear large families of children and personally supervise their education at home during the critical early years.

Thy are in love with their husband and devoted to their interests.”

Referring to the world of the new century (the 20th), she said, “The best women in New York Society, those of the greatest influence and those who give it its true tone, are almost unknown outside their own circle. Society newspaper notoriety is interesting to

them as it is to me, as a study, a very amusing one too, sometimes, as one gains so much information about certain women supposed to belong to us, but whom we never see and do not know even by sight.”

She concluded with sentiment by returning to her roots. “I am not vain enough to think New York will not be able to get along very well without me. Many women will rise up to take my place. But I hope my influence will be felt in one thing, and that is in discountenancing the undignified methods employed by certain New York Women to attract a following. They gave given entertainments that belong under a circus tent.”

She died on October 30, 1908, a little more than a month after her 78th birthday. Her influence now entirely forgotten, the following generations well into the 20th century unknowingly remembered her when using the term “the 400” to refer to the wealthy and the privileged, either caustically or in awe; a popular kind of immortality, now also forgotten from our vernacular, along with the 36 QUEST

Summertime is always a reading time for me because the calendar is not interrupting.

Last month’s steamy heat wave made it compulsory to stay inside, which gave me the opportunity to read a book written by a friend called Oy Vey, I’m Going to Church: A Memoir.

My friend wrote this book originally as a memory of and for her family. This was her first book and so, instead of her name, she used a nom de plume, Krissel. I’ve known the author for a number of years

Jane Curtin and Patrick Lynch

and known generally about her life and background.

We are contemporaries, and coincidentally, she went to Smith in the same class as my first girlfriend (from grade school). I know her husband, I’ve met her children, and I’ve been a guest at her table more than once. It’s a dynamic New York family and long active in the community.

Aside from the title— which amused me lightly—I had no idea what was inside except that it was a memoir. I had no expectations when I opened it. I’d done so

solely because the author is a friend whom I admire.

So I first read her bio on the back flap of the cover to see what there was that I didn’t know. In it she identifies herself as “…born in New York City and attended a prominent, private allgirls high school in Manhattan; she graduated cum laude from Smith College, which was soon followed by marriage and three children. While raising her children she became a fund-raising volunteer for a variety of non-profits and went on to found a successful international fundrais-

The front flap tells you a different story: “What happens when a young Jewish girl grows up in an upper-middle-class household in New York City…”

And right after college, her life takes a turn for change that she never anticipated—she met and soon after (three dates, I think) became engaged to a man to whom she now has been married for 55 years.

Everyone knew about the differences: She was Jewish; he was a WASP (she refers to him as “Superwasp” in the book), and

one of most intelligent and agreeable gentleman you’d ever meet.

So I was curious to see what the book would be like. That was on an early Sunday afternoon. It’s about growing up in that particular family at that particular time (mid-20th century onwards) in New York. Four hours later, and three-quarters of the way through the memoir, I was so involved and amused that I had to tell my friend the author about it.

This is what I wrote to her: “This is a wonderful book. Its coziness becomes habit in the reading. I laughed throughout as if I were in the room when it was happening. However, this is a very serious book in a very important way.”

Oy Vey… is about how people can actually get along. People of diverse thought, religions, politics, personalities, economies, can get along, even famously. I’m not sure if that was the author’s intention and inspiration. But the personal-ness is easily recognizable to anyone, and the separateness of our ways of life is the learning.

This is also an authentic memory about real life in New York at such a time where our generation were the first real born-and-bred Americans—generation 3.

It’s not only a record, but a reminder of the values of that life and those lives.

There is a strong element of nostalgia that applies to all of us. But most importantly, this book rep-

resents the changes that came about in 20th century America—good and bad. It’s quietly very deep.

And funny, but touching— that’s where its success lies with the reader.

When I finished writing the above, out of curiosity I looked Oy Vey up on Amazon to see the reviews.

Wow! It’s a smash hit with those who’ve also read it.

Eight reviews, and every one of them a rave. The briefest of them encapsulates our enthusiasm: “This book is a page-turner—you won’t be able to put it down and you’ll urge friends to take a copy on vacation. With wit, insight, and self-deprecating charm, Krissel depicts a bygone era you wish you’d experienced.”u

Ian Fleming at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica, February 1964.

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS PHOTOGRAPHING the Beatles in Miami with Cassius Clay (who soon changed his name to Mohammed Ali after his world championship heavyweight title fight with Sonny Liston). Clay completely overwhelmed the Beatles, saying, “Who’s the most beautiful,” etc., and making them reply over and over, “You are.” The Beatles blamed me, but I didn’t mind, as the following day I was off to Jamaica to photograph the author of the hugely successful James Bond novels, Ian Fleming, at his home in Oracabessa, Jamaica.

By then Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963) had been turned into films, both starring Sean Connery, and were raging box-office successes.

Fleming had worked for British Naval Intelligence during World War II; therefore, it seemed logical that he base the Bond character on his own experiences. It gave his books a fair amount of realism, while he added a huge helping of imagination for good measure.

I found my way to Fleming’s home by the sea, which he had named Goldeneye. When I arrived, he was typing away on his manual typewriter in a sparely furnished bedroom with three friendly mongrel dogs in close proximity.

The elegant author greeted me warmly, gold cigarette holder clenched in his teeth. As we chatted away, Fleming told me he thought Scottish-born Sean Connery was too coarse to portray 007. Fleming had envisioned David Niven in the role. That made sense, since Fleming and Niven had similar demeanors—that of charmingly debonair British aristocrats. To me, the sophisticated, self-assured Fleming was James Bond—his nonchalant, throw-away elegance with golden cigarette holder in hand, belt casually looped over the buckle.

Actually, David Niven did star as an older, retired Sir James Bond in the 1967 spoof Casino Royale, with Peter Sellars as a bungling 007 and Orson Wells happily playing the villain.

Although Fleming was a good sport, it was hard for him to walk to the water’s edge for the photograph. The last thing he said to me as I left was, “Drop in anytime you pass this way again.” I’m sorry I didn’t have the chance.

Six months later he was gone. u AUGUST 2019 91

TRIGGER WARNING

HERE’S WHAT A WISE man recently said: “Our youth love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect for their elders, and no longer rise when a lady enters the room. They chatter instead of exercising, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers.” Well, in the great scheme of history, I suppose it qualifies as recent. It was by Socrates, 2,000 years ago. The French would say, “plus ça change”; I say, what else is new?

Good old Socrates, I wonder what he would have to say today about triggers.

As in trigger warnings to forewarn 92 QUEST

them about upsetting passages to come. In An American Dream, Norman Mailer’s explosive novel of 1965, the hero, Stephen Rojack, a decorated war hero, kills his wife by throwing her off the roof, then buggers the maid and goes out on the town looking for action. Young people today would go on a tailspin, and that’s only Mailer— just think what Shakespeare, Marlowe, or the Russians would do to their vulnerable psyches. Admittedly, I am an oldie who grew up during World War II being bombed nightly by the Allies and witnessing a savage civil war, but trigger warnings were the last thing

on my four-year-old mind. Dodging bombs and bullets was somehow more important. Never mind. I do feel sorry for that 16-year-old who was upset when he read the calorie count on something he was about to devour.

“The caloric count triggered me and brought back bad memories, and I was about to cry.” Poor little guy, do 400 sit-ups and you might feel better.

Don’t get me wrong, although not of the same sexual persuasion as the great Oscar, I agree with the playwright’s announcement that “Nothing’s better than youth, but what a pity it’s wasted on the young.” It is

TA K I only recently that negative or joking references to homosexuals, women, minorities, and youth in general have been forbidden. I remember well an Oxford professor friend of mine who referred to his students as smelly and inattentive, fellow academics as a dreadful collection of deadbeats, homosexuals as deviants, and feminists as rancid females who feel they have not advanced in this world. He was Norman Stone, and died only last June. Stone was a great professor and a great man, although I should have given a trigger warning before bringing up his name.

women who bare their breasts at the drop of a top are usually rather homely and overweight. In all my years on the Riviera and on Greek islands, I have yet to see a truly beautiful woman bare them. All it means really is somewhere along the line some women stopped fighting genuine injustices and became very silly.

But let’s get back to the young, or snowflakes as they’re called nowadays.

Last year I spent a week on the beaches of Normandy in the company of some military historians preparing their books for this year’s 75th anniversary of D-Day. We visited the first German

argument, everyone was British, but the courage of the German soldier was not disputed. Nor, of course, of the invading American, British, and Canadian troops.

What does the above have to do with the hissy fits sparked by our youth of today? Everything! The men who fought on the beaches 75 years ago never saw themselves as worthy of special treatment. None of them were “offended” or “upset” when ordered to jump into the water under a hail of bullets and hit the beaches.

Ditto the Germans when ordered to stand fight against incredibly superior

Left to right: American soldiers on a Normandy beach on D-Day (June 6, 1944); Norman Stone.

Mind you, there are some very silly women around doing feminism no favors. For example, “Free the Nipple.” It sounds like a Woody Allen fantasy film, but actually there’s a social media campaign for women’s rights to bare their breasts. “Why should male nipples be allowed and not ours?”

Facebook, in my book probably the most destructive invention since the A-bomb, agreed to talks with those behind this rather childish campaign, the lactiferous duct activists having scored a victory against us male chauvinists. Personally I would be for freeing the nipple but in my experience,

bunker to be hit right on the edge of the beach about 50 yards from the sea. James Holland, the noted British historian, pointed out that the first Victoria Cross was awarded to a Scot grenadier who blew up the bunker, killing all the Germans inside.

I pointed out to him that the defenders were mostly men over 50 and some youngsters of 16 and 17. They had a couple of machine guns, a Panzerfaust, and a Bazooka as weapons. Looking out they had seen 6,700 ships or so firing their huge guns at them. No one had run. They had stood and died at their posts. It was not a popular

odds. When the snowflakes get upset about some rape scene in a long ago published book, and the fact they had not been warned about it, I wonder what the men who fought on those beaches must think. (Thank God for the brave men, very few are left alive to read such BS.) But dear readers, try and imagine these phone zombies, selfie addicts, and me, me, me gamers of today being ordered to attack or defend those beaches. They would expire before the first shot was fired.

CANTEENS

THE EAST END’S FRESHEST FEAST

THE MONTAUK YACHT CLUB, on Lake Montauk, was once the hottest spot for America’s glitterati. When it opened in 1928, founding members included Astors, Whitneys, and Vanderbilts; Charles Lindburgh would fly in via seaplane. In recent years, though, it had grown a bit tired; it ached to be reincarnated.

Bought by Gurney’s Resorts and newly revitalized with a $13 million renovation, the property—now Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina—debuted on Memorial Day weekend.

Showfish, the resort’s centerpiece, offers three meals a day—and even delivers “room service” to boats moored at the property’s marina. Chef Jeremy Blutstein, whom you last saw as chef d’cuisine at Almond in Bridgehampton, oversees all.

94 QUEST

His seafood-driven menu at Showfish is split into several small sections: a few raw bar options (think Long Island littleneck clams and Peconic oysters), a selection of crudos (try the tuna with preserved lemon, capers, pumpernickel crumble, and smoked chile oil), and a trio of seafood platters joining the appetizer- and entrée-sized options. There are also plates sized for sharing, such as a dry-aged, bone-in “tuna ribeye.”

Blutstein is an East Ender by birth, an Amagansett native, and he’s earnestly repping his home turf with locavore farmto-table cooking. “All the produce he uses comes from within 20 miles, except for the citrus,” the property’s publicist enthused to me. Locally caught seafood rests on ice in display

CANTEENS cases near the restaurant’s entrance; symbols next to each dish on the menu denote from which local supplier specific menu ingredients are sourced, including area favorites such as Amber Waves Farm, Balsam Farm, and Quail Hill Farm; that same publicist told me that the carrots in the warm carrot salad appetizer go from ground to plate within six to eight hours.

The East End grows great produce—and its fishermen catch excellent seafood. It sometimes feels as though Chef is so enthusiastic about it all, however, that he’s trying to cram everything onto one plate. Behold the “Rock ‘n’ Roll” scallop

for creativity, but with so many strong flavors jostling for prominence, it can feel as though your palate is hosting a threering circus. The pastry chef exhibits a bit more restraint, putting out more subdued desserts like a rhubarb tart with strawberry compote and a delightful tres leches cake.

The dining room feels as toned-down as the savory dishes are loud, its aesthetic falling somewhere between whitewashed summer house and nautical chic. Freestanding semicircular banquettes face the windows, optimized for taking in the view.

During breakfast, the sun blazes through the east-facing windows that overlook the marina. After devouring brioche

entrée, which sees a handful of locally caught scallops paired with salty duck prosciutto, spicy curried sunchoke puree, and vinegary carrot chimichurri—multiple robust flavors all turned up to high decibels; the scallops, though, were perhaps the most expertly seared ones I’ve had. Then there’s the octopus appetizer, in which a grilled tentacle is joined on the plate by crushed potatoes, cubes of lamb bacon, salsa verde, and espelette pepper. And the carrot appetizer I mentioned above? The full description is carrots with harissa tahini, pomegranate molasses, saffron-pickled alliums, smoked ricotta salata, and sumac.

(It’s worth noting that the menu will have frequent variations depending on the seasonality of ingredients.) Chef earns points

French toast with whipped ricotta and strawberry jam, alongside a fruit bowl topped with watermelon granita, I sipped a coffee and watched masts bobbing gently in the tranquil air. I thought back on the previous night’s meal, and it occurred to me: Perhaps Chef Blutstein’s cooking verges on overly electrifying so as to contrast with the extreme serenity of this secluded corner of Montauk.

Maybe life here needs a little spice, and a punch of potent flavor provides exactly the right balance. u This spread, from left to right: Showfish’s chef, Jeremy Blutstein; the interior of Showfish; “Rock ‘n’ Roll” seared scallops, roasted tilefish, and Jonah crab tagliatelle.

resort’s white sand beaches. It comes as no surprise that Casa de Campo has attracted high-profile clients such as George W. Bush, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Derek Jeter, Beyoncé, Michael Jordan, and the late Frank Sinatra.

There’s no denying that recent headlines have been troubling for this normally peaceful oasis. Yet, due to human nature and the incentives of clickbait teasers, unexpected occurrences inevitably result in media frenzies. In the case of the Dominican Republic, the concern generated by these headlines is neither warranted nor true. Close to three million Americans visit the Dominican Republic each year, and the country remains safer than any of its neighboring tropical islands.

And while the country has been shaken, the majority of towns and resorts in the Dominican Republic have witnessed zero incidents, including Casa de Campo. In fact, it’s Casa de Campo’s unparalleled sense of safety, on top of its luxury amenities, that continues to attract discerning travelers in search of a relaxing, tropical vacation and carefree environment. In addition to the extensive security team patrolling the grounds 24 hours per day, compound entry gates are closely monitored to ensure that all visitors have reservations, adding to the hotel’s exclusivity and assured protection.

In the past three weeks, former president Bill Clinton, a longtime guest of the resort, was spotted enjoying a round of 102 QUEST

golf on Teeth of the Dog. “The Dominican Republic is a truly impressive country, with natural beauties, unique charms, and lovely citizens,” Clinton noted.

“We are grateful for President Clinton’s recent visit to the Domincan Republic and to Casa de Campo, and we were honored by, and are appreciative of his support. After more than 40 years, Casa de Campo still remains the choice for celebrities, dignitaries, and presidents alike to visit. We have made substantial improvements to the property recently and look forward to welcoming all our guests to experience our community,” said Jason Kycek, senior vice president of sales and marketing. Recent enhancements and a $12 million renovation include the new Minitas Beach Club and Family Pool Area, a Golf Learning Center, and the new taquería restaurant, Chilango, in Altos de Chavón—styled as a 16th century village located on the hotel’s grounds.

Casa de Campo is again anticipating a busy season and looks forward to hosting both its new and devoted returning guests. So, if you’re considering spending the holidays in Casa de Campo’s renovated and safe environment, the resort’s staff stands at the ready to take your reservations and answer every one of your personal needs and requirements. u For more information about Casa de Campo or for bookings, please visit casadecampo.com.do or call 855.580.4814.

VINEYARD VIBES

BY KATHRYN MAIER

A LL I M A G E S CO U RT E S Y O F G I L WA L S H

DESIGN

LIFE IS DIFFERENT on Martha’s Vineyard. Interior designer Gil

Walsh is well aware; she’s been creating exquisite interiors there for about 25 years. Based in Palm Beach, her design company also has an office on the Vineyard (Walsh herself has a home in Edgartown); several of her clients own homes in both locations.

Palm Beach and Martha’s Vineyard are both casual seaside destinations, sure, but that’s about where the similarities end.

The Vineyard’s design requirements are unique. Partly, they’re environmental: Working with the island’s more muted light and endeavoring to reflect the textures and tones of the surrounding natural elements means that Walsh, always carefully attuned to

color (after all, her book is titled Gil Walsh Interiors: A Case for Color), works with a much more subdued palette than the strong, saturated hues she applies on the Florida coast—think grayedout blues and greens, muted taupes, and darker-toned woods.

“So much of nature is brought inside,” she says. “It’s a little more rustic and organic and not as refined.”

And, partly, those design needs are a factor of the types of A home on Martha’s Vineyard, designed by Gil Walsh Interiors, incorporates many of the colors and textures of its island surroundings; contemporary artwork in each room provides bright pops of color.

groups who gather there: The Vineyard is a family destination, one with large houses to hold the extended families—and their pets—who spend a prolonged time there in the summers. These families require large, welcoming, well-functioning kitchens (they tend to entertain at home often), and living and dining areas with plenty of seating.

Walsh’s designs account for all of this and more. She employs contemporary art pieces to add a pop of vivid color. She chooses durable indoor/outdoor fabrics and rugs to withstand wear and tear, children’s spills, and dogs’ “unexpected treasures” (she’s partial to a particular woven recycled plastic rug made in Scandinavia; one graces her own master bedroom). She selects furniture pieces that will serve multiple purposes—for instance, a dining table that can double as a craft area or work space. Walsh mixes in local antiques and items handcrafted on the island, such as decorative pillows, throws, and lampshades, for charm. “And it’s charm that is created on the Vineyard,” she adds.

With relatively limited shopping options on the Vineyard, Walsh gets creative: She delights in scouring antique stores, flea markets, and even the Dumptique at the local junkyard for treasures. “The flea markets have so much to use, personally and in design,” Walsh proclaims. “I have found fabulous stuff.” In fact, Walsh once outfitted a client’s entire library with beautiful linen-bound books from the Dumptique. “That’s the fun part of the Vineyard,” she says, “finding these quirky little places.” u 1 0 6 Q U E S T

Philip K. Howard: Washington is out of control. Literally. No human, not even the president, can make sense of it. All the regulations have taken a life of their own—runaway red tape.

Common sense is illegal. Americans want change. Instead we get paralysis and a cacophony of finger-pointing. That’s why 108 QUEST

the electoral needle is starting to swing wildly—eight million Obama voters turned around and voted for Trump.

Q: Speaking at a recent Quest event, you observed that Washington has exactly the opposite culture from New York.

PKH: New York is a city of action. People wake up and set out to make something happen. If they don’t succeed, they lose their job. Washington is a city of inaction. People follow the process and talk about “moving things to the next step,” but nothing much happens. No one is responsible for results. Ask someone in Washington why something works stupidly, and the answer is almost always: “The rule made me do it.”

Q: How did you decide to take on the failure of modern democracy?

PKH: I was always a policy wonk. I got my start in college doing economics research at the Oak Ridge National Lab. I was a gopher for Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner. Then for years I was active as a civic leader, helping lead the Municipal Art Society crusades. I kept running into officials who wanted to

PHILIP K. HOWARD is a New York City-based lawyer and writer who is a vocal advocate for government and legal reform.

A self-declared “radical centrist,” Howard founded and heads Common Good, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that champions simplifying government. He has given a TED talk, appeared on The Daily Show, served on Trump’s CEO council, and authored several books, the most recent of which is Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and Left (W.W. Norton & Co., 2019). He recently offered his thoughts on how Washington can—and should—be fixed.

POLITICS

“The solution is to restore human responsibility. Set goals and guiding principles, and then hold people accountable if they don’t meet them.

Simplify government. That’s how democracy is supposed to work.”

Q: The book became a bestseller in 1995. Were you surprised?

PKH: Yes, of course. I had no expectations. I was just trying to figure out why modern government worked so badly.

Q: If you had to boil all of your thoughts on improving democracy down to one core insight, what would it be?

PKH: Nothing works unless a human makes it work. It’s impossible to create a government that’s better than people.

Thousand-page rulebooks are just a form of central planning— actually, worse, because the planners who wrote those rules in the 1970s and ’80s are long gone. At least the Soviet planners came up with a new stupid plan every five years.

Q: Doesn’t the gridlock in Washington reflect the current political polarization?

PKH: Actually, just the opposite: The rancor reflects the powerlessness of political leaders to actually make changes.

So they compete by yelling louder. For example, both parties wanted to use the 2009 stimulus—$800 billion—to rebuild America’s decrepit infrastructure. But no official, not even the president, had the authority to make it happen. As President Obama put it: “There’s no thing as a shovel-ready project.”

Q: You were on President Trump’s CEO Council. Is he draining the swamp?

PKH: Trump has a kind of feral genius for spotting weaknesses, but he doesn’t have a coherent vision of how to fix broken government. The solution isn’t to burn more coal, or deregulate safety oversight. The solution is to restore human responsibility.

Set goals and guiding principles, and then hold people accountable if they don’t meet them. Simplify government.

Create a hierarchy of authority to make decisions. Decide who’s doing the job, and who’s not. That’s how democracy is supposed to work.

Q: But isn’t the point of law to dictate the proper way to do things?

PKH: No! Law is supposed to support our freedom, not replace freedom with thick rulebooks and hair-trigger lawsuits. Law should stand at the edges of a free society, protecting against bad things—like crime and pollution. It does this by setting goals and standards, with clear lines of responsibility and accountability.

The Constitution forbids “abridging the freedom of speech” without defining exactly what that means. It works pretty well.

110 QUEST

Q: But is it possible to turn back the clock, and let people take responsibility again?

PKH: The big hurdle here is not creating new codes. It’s not hard to write simplified codes that focus on goals; it’s certainly a lot easier than writing thick rulebooks that dictate how to organize every nook and cranny of the workplace. The roadblock is Washington. All those interest groups exist to preserve the status quo.

Q: Is that why you propose moving most agencies out of Washington?

PKH: Yes, Washington truly is a swamp. Why not move agencies out to real places, where people know what it means to take responsibility? Make federal employees answer to their neighbors. Federal agencies like NASA in Huntsville or the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta seem to do the job.

Q: So how does change happen?

PKH: Americans have to organize behind this new vision of governing. Think Andrew Jackson, or the Progressive Movement. Real change only happens in historic moments.

What’s new here is that the villain is not racism, or rapacious robber barons, but huge, mindless bureaucracy that now has thousands of blood-sucking interest groups attacked to it.

Q: We can see how conservatives might like this, but won’t liberals oppose it?

PKH: Liberals ought to support it. Where will they get the money to deal with climate change? Or deal with the fact that many hard-working Americans don’t earn enough to support their families? Red tape is staggeringly wasteful. Twenty-one states have more non-instructional personnel in their schools than teachers. Thirty percent of the healthcare dollar goes to administration—that’s $1 million per doctor.

Q: So you’re saying it’s time to push the reset button on Washington?

PKH: Exactly. Trying to prune this red tape jungle is a fool’s errand. Every president since Jimmy Carter has tried and failed.

Q: Do you have a plan to make this happen?

PKH: We do. Common Good, the nonprofit I chair, is organizing a campaign called Principled America to build support to reboot Washington. Former political leaders like Al Simpson are helping. We are getting support from CEOs and leading experts in every field. We’re producing videos and podcasts. Your readers can help. They can sign up at commongood.org. Change is happening—Trump’s election was the clearest symptom. But what that change will be will depend upon what Americans demand. u

do the right thing but couldn’t because of rigid regulations. So I started looking into why officials lacked the authority to use their common sense. I didn’t set out to write a book. But this project became The Death of Common Sense.

GT50 SETS SAIL

THE AUSTRALIAN COAST holds its own as one of the most awe-inspiring convergences of land and water worldwide.

Home to the Great Barrier Reef, the land down under prompts travelers of every class to make their mark on its ample beaches and into the vast waters of the numerous oceans that meet around the continent, perhaps making Australia’s seas the ideal place for such a splendor-seeking adventure.

During the 2019 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May, Grand Banks Yachts debuted its new Palm Beach GT50 Express in Australia. Designed for simplicity, strength, and style, owners can operate the yacht as they please, and with a fuel consumption of 40 gallons per hour, the model promises even more time to skim the sea breeze.

An unimpeded seascape from the helm deck fashions the backdrop for an archetypal dinner party on the water or an evening sunset sail. A large opening sunroof retains the charm of the open saltwater air, complemented by side and aft openings and electric windows. For those on board who would prefer the hands-on experience of open waters, a swim deck promises mobility in and out of the sea on a sunny day.

Sporting a picturesque interior, the yacht offers a grand 112 QUEST

getaway from a getaway. High-end fabrics cover the walls of the master stateroom, which is equipped with an accomodating head and full-service kitchen.

Palm Beach yachts are primed to see the East Coast. With seasonal availabilities in New York, the luxury boat is not only a signature of the Australian coast, but also a staple for an idyllic Hamptons summer.

No crew necessary, the cockpit stands as its own office, complete with an additional refrigerator, icemaker and twin helm seats for co-captains. Several personalized designs are offered with choices between the GT50’s Express and Open structures, fostering a characteristic taste to each boating experience.

Although a high-speed design may not be one’s initial notion in speculating a leisurely venture on the ocean, Palm Beach’s two genres of the GT50 may just be the answer for the diverse coterie of open-water enthusiasts. Whether you seek an excursion around Palm Beach Motor Yacht’s home on the Malaysian coast or an escape from the lush land in the Hamptons, a Palm Beach private yacht offers the promise of a nonpareil escapade to watch the wonders of the glimmering blue seas. u

FOR YEARS, the “perfect” vacation meant staying at a resort on a tropical island. But these days, an increasing number of people are choosing a classic road-trip getaway.

dynamic, sophisticated destination. The central city is bursting with buzz-worthy restaurants, a vibrant cultural life, and trend-setting stores—all easily walkable in a compact urban core.

Stroll through the Old Port area, with its red brick sidewalks, 19th-century buildings, and cobblestone streets. From there, it’s a short walk to Congress Street, the spine of the downtown arts and culture district, which includes the Portland Museum of Art. While downtown features wonderful art, the East End is home to the Portland Observatory, built in 1807. Experience a unique view of the water from the tower’s 360-degree windows or take a short boat ride to any of the islands in the bay.

Portland’s attractive central city, appealing restaurants, lively cultural scene, and easy walkability make it a city that feels both grounded and contemporary. And if that isn’t intoxicating enough, take a deep breath of the salty ocean breezes.

PEQUAWKET TRAIL SCENIC BYWAY The Pequawket Trail Scenic Byway offers a spectacular alternative to the traditional coastal route. The drive focuses on nature and passes by lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains, including scenic views of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The 30-mile drive from Fryeburg to Gilead passes through the White Mountain National Forest and is

one of the great northeastern autumn drives to see colorful fall leaves.

The adventure includes Sebago Lake, the second-largest lake in Maine, and Jockey Cap rock with a monument dedicated to Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary, who once lived in Fryeburg. The journey culminates at the picturesque Hemlock covered bridge, an 1857 civil engineering landmark.

THE BEST LOBSTER AROUND If there is anywhere to try lobster, it’s Maine; the two are inextricably linked. The classic lobster roll, consisting of lobster meat tossed in mayonnaise dressing and served inside a bun, is simple and delicious.

But in Portland, chefs are trying creative variations— lobster tacos with shells made of crisp cheese; warm, buttered lobster served in a Chinese bao bun; and lobster mac and cheese with truffles.

An unforgettable lobster dinner in one of Portland’s waterfront restaurants can be the perfect way to complete a fun-filled day of travel. —Susan Hegger u For more information about Enterprise Rent-A-Car, call 855.266.9289, or visit enterprise.com.

MAN O’ WAR PROJECT ADVANCES

BY JAMIE MACGUIRE TWO SUMMERS AGO, Quest profiled Ambassador Earle Mack and his innovative Man O’ War Project (MOW). Named after racing’s “mostest horse,” MOW set out to prove that equine therapy would be an effective treatment for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry agreed to undertake a research trial that would put approximately 60 PTSD-suffering veterans through a specially designed program of working and interacting with horses. “Horses by nature are prey animals, so they are hyper-vigilant and reactive to people’s behavior,” says Prudence Fisher, a professor of clinical psychiatric social work at Columbia, who has been directing the study. “The veterans feel the horses are mirroring what they feel,” says Yuval Neria, a medical psychology professor at Columbia.

Post-traumatic stress disorder causes a host of emotional symptoms, including angry outbursts, trouble concentrating, sleeplessness, and suicide. During the course of an eight-week program, veterans and horses learn to trust each other and both benefit. The animals selected include mellow, older horses, including former racehorses, who appreciate having new purposes in their lives.

AUGUST 2019 119

To Matt Ryba, a Marine Corps veteran who did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, the approach makes sense. “A horse is an animal that a lot of soldiers are able to identify with.

Like soldiers, they’re attuned to their environment. The way a horse feels when someone new is approaching them is a kind of reflection of similar emotions of wariness and distrust that a veteran would be experiencing. The ability to work through and overcome those feelings represents a huge step forward for veterans returning from war zones.”

The study has now concluded, and the results have been outstanding. There has been a low dropout rate and measurable improvement in almost every area of behavior the study scrutinized. Best of all, MRI scanning has revealed positive brain changes in less than eight weeks, indicating an ability for the veterans joining the program to heal their wounds of war steadily and surely.

Now that the Phase One trial has been successful, Columbia plans to take the program to a national level, which was always the researchers’ fondest hope. To do so, Columbia will enlist funding from the Department of Defense, the Veterans’ Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and private industry.

For longtime horse owner and army veteran Earle Mack, 120 QUEST

who, with the Jockey Club, was the primary funder of the project’s first phase, the results have been gratifying. Mack is a former chairman of the New York State Racing Commission, a former board member of the New York Racing Association, and a current member of the Jockey Club. He has long been active in Thoroughbred retirement programs, and, in 2017, created the Dinny Phipps Award for contributions to equine health in memory of the late Jockey Club chairman and racing grandee. Ambassador Mack continues to be a staunch advocate of racing’s best traditions, and recently wrote an opinion column in The Hill advocating for passage of the Horseracing Integrity Act, which would create uniform national governance of the sport, ensuring transparency and consistency in the medical treatment and health of racehorses. In short, Earle Mack has been a champion of the turf himself, and his latest success launching the Man O’ War Project figures to be his crowning achievement and an everlasting legacy. u This page: U.S. Marine Sergeant Matthew Ryba believes equine therapy could help troubled veterans.

400 Kitty Miller’s New Year’s Eve party in New York City, 1952.

“WHY THERE are only about four hundred people in fashionable New York society,” boasted Ward McAllister, the lawyer and author of Society As I Have Found It. “If you go outside that number you strike people who are either not at ease in a ballroom or else make other people not as ease.” Such judgment inspired McAllister when in 1892 he set out for the first time to assemble a guest list for Mrs. William Astor. Accordingly, the list of invitees was set at 400. Twenty-four years ago, well into another time and century, McAllister’s legacy was reaffirmed and his wisdom validated when a list was born in a publication about New York society. With a number and tone harkening back to McAllister, the first ever Quest 400 was published in 1995 (see page 144).

Lists, inevitably, define our culture—what’s hot, what’s not; who’s in, who’s out. From Vanity Fair’s “International Best124 QUEST

Dressed List” to People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People,” they are followed by all, insiders and outsiders alike. This list, the Quest 400, represents an alphabetical “Who’s Who” of New York society.

This August, the Quest 400 continues the tradition of selecting citizens who exemplify Manhattan’s social vibrancy through cultural, economic, and philanthropic endeavors. They adhere to Brooke Astor’s belief that “money is like manure; it’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around.” And so, when the names and personalities of this year’s list gather and engage each other at the annual Quest 400 party held at Doubles, in the SherryNetherland, one might almost glimpse Countess Ellen Olenska or hear Daisy Buchanan’s voice, “full of money,” fluttering by in the conversation. —David Patrick Columbia

FROM THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT: ANNE MORGAN IN THE MODERN AGE

wasn’t a resounding success when first installed). Some of his mergers and creations were General Electric, Westinghouse, U.S. Steel, Standard Oil, International Harvester, AT&T, and several major railroad companies, including the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, the Northern Pacific, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford.

Once described as a “shy girl who did not like society,” Anne made the debutante rounds but remained intensely private. She had come into the world as the marriage of her mother and father had begun to unravel into living separately under the same roof.

This was an era when divorce was rare, and women’s rights were not supported or even considered.

Growing up, the shy girl was, in the company of her own family, more spirited and rebellious than her siblings. When she was old enough, however, she succeeded her sisters—who had married and started their own families—as her father’s “chaperone” on his voyages, stateside or to Europe, either on his yacht Corsair or by steamship.

Fanny Morgan rarely made these trips, as her husband

SHE WAS BORN ON July 25, 1873, three years before Mark Twain published his satirical novel The Gilded Age, which became the name of that era in American history after the Civil War when America was in rapid industrial expansion and great fortunes were amassed. It was the very beginning of the modern age.

The youngest of the three daughters of J. Pierpont Morgan and his wife Frances, Anne grew up at her family’s country estate, “Cragston,” in Highland Falls, near West Point.

Her father was at the center of this emerging transformation of the country. As the American financier and banker of the new times, he dominated corporate finance in the world, playing a central role in American industrial consolidation from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Stellar when it came to choosing his deals and investments for clients and his own interests, Morgan had natural foresight. He was an original funder of Thomas Edison (as well as Nichola Tesla) and the development of the electric light.

The Morgan mansion on Madison Avenue and 35th Street was the first house in America to be entirely electrified (although it

wished. The wide gap between him and his wife was the ongoing household drama for the children. In the 19th century, choice for a woman was not apparent or even imaginable. It was not uncommon for a wealthy man to spend time away from home in the company of his mistresses. Pierpont Morgan, like many of his peers, like his father before him—like his friend, Queen Victoria’s son and heir, Albert (Bertie), the Prince of Wales—conducted semi-public affairs throughout his life. This was well known, if not openly spoken about, in the society of the day.

Privately, Morgan preferred the company of a mistress who was in the Social Register, and usually a woman with a “Mrs.” before her name and a husband in the background. Morgan was a man who especially liked the company of women. He was generous with his amours, taking care that they were financially comfortable and self-respecting. These relationships were not secretive in that he spent much of his in travels with one or another in the company of his and her friends, as well as a daughter who was the official “chaperone” or beard.

The last of these was a long-term relationship with Mrs. Adelaide Douglas, for whom Morgan hired Horace Trumbauer to design and build a house on Park Avenue between 37th and 38th Streets. Trumbauer—who designed the mansion on the corner of 78th Street and Fifth Avenue for James B. Duke—created for Mrs. Douglas a six-story, 25-foot-wide mansion of limestone and granite in the style of 18th century France.

The house was also a just a block away and around the corner from the Morgan mansion on Madison Avenue, making it easily accessible on foot for her paramour. It was completed with a back entrance for Morgan’s private use. The house today is now the Guatemalan Mission to the UN. When daughter Anne was in her 20s and single, with her sisters now married, she became her father’s official chaperone in his travels in the company of his mistresses and friends. Daughter was well aware of what was going on. She kept his confidence to keep the peace in the family. As it happened, she also liked Mrs. Douglas and even sometimes lunched with her in the city.

Women in those days did not wear makeup, including lipstick. Anne was stocky (170 pounds at five-foot-eight) and unconcerned with beautifying herself for others. She was given an annual allowance of $20,000 (which would have the purchasing power of $550,000 today), and when she wasn’t on one of her father’s voyages, she was looking after her disappointed and unhappy mother.

During the winter of 1902, when Anne was 29 and her father was not traveling, she and friends Helen Barney, Helen Hastings, and Daisy Harriman decided to create a women’s club with the idea of providing women with the same kind of facilities and social resources that their fathers, husbands, and brothers had with the Metropolitan, Racquet and Tennis, and Union Clubs. They called it the Colony Club.

150 QUEST

This was a “first” for women, and many of the men in their lives and the world objected to it: “A woman’s place is in the home.” Pierpont Morgan, however, whatever his objections, supported it and became a member of the men’s advisory. The women were determined to show the world what women could do on their own. They enrolled 500 members and raised the funds, and bought land on the corner of 30th Street and Madison Avenue, just five blocks south of the Morgan residence.

They hired Stanford White to design and build the clubhouse.

White hired Elsie DeWolfe to decorate the interior. Elsie was considered a novice interior decorator at the time; this was her first real assignment. Her success led to many other assignments among members of Society, and she became the first female interior designer in that world.

A New York City native and a daughter of a doctor who died leaving his family financially destitute, Elsie went to work in her 20s as an actress to support her family. While she was not “star” successful, in 1887, when she was 26, she met Bessie Marbury, a literary agent and theatrical producer. They struck up a personal relationship, and in 1892, they moved into a townhouse—still standing—on the corner of 122 East 17th Street and Irving Place.

While Elsie was petite and slender, Bessie Marbury was heavyset and plain. One man described her looks as, “the only thing missing was some chewing tobacco…” Elsie was by then a wellknown actress, although she was also regarded as not very talented. Marbury, on the other hand, also a New York native, was brilliantly successful in her business as an international literary agent and theatrical producer. Among her clients were George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, J. M. Barrie, and the entire French society of Dramatic Authors, including Pinero, Molnar, and Sardou. She was an early promoter of African American writers of the Harlem Renaissance. She also produced Cole Porter’s first Broadway show, See America First, as well as shows for Jerome Kern, and was instrumental in the creation of the “book musical,” which remains to this day.

Presumably, the two women became lovers, and were referred to as “The Bachelors” by friends. But what they clearly shared, besides devotion to each other, was serious ambition. At the house on Irving Place, they began hosting a salon, or what today would be called cocktail receptions.

The guest list was unique for New York in the Gilded Age. It was outside the fashion of Society—actors, writers, prominent businessmen and tycoons. The list crossed the strict social boundaries of the time, and the gatherings were enthusiastically attended by men—without their wives—such as Stanford White, Jack Astor, and Willie K. Vanderbilt. The author Henry Adams, reporting to a friend, said, “I went to the Marbury salon and found myself in a mad cyclone of people… struck blind by the brilliancy of their world.” Even the Mrs. Astor, impressed by their success, couldn’t compete with their

style; they were the Now in a happening world.

It was Anne Morgan’s meeting Bessie and Elsie in creating the Colony Club that changed the life of the then-29-year-old forever. Bessie was particularly taken by the young woman who was 17 years her junior.

Did they have an affair?

It hardly matters. Bessie opened up a world Anne had never known or would have met.

It was the big world of creative people, social activists, and female independence.

Suddenly, Anne Morgan was moving out of her parents’ world and into her own. Bessie wrote to a friend, “There was something pathetic about this splendid girl, full of vitality and eagerness, yet who, as the youngest of a large family, had never been allowed to grow up.”

Bessie would change that. Within a year, Anne was in love.

She was spending most of her time at Irving Place instead of Madison Avenue. In 1904, she sailed to Paris with her father, where she told him over dinner one night that she couldn’t be his chaperone anymore. However he took that, as a possessive parent, he was not pleased.

Afterwards, his daughter went off with Bessie and Elsie to visit Villa Trianon, a long-abandoned villa in Versailles that Bessie had bought for Elsie. By 1906, Anne had contributed to the restoration of the villa as well as adding another wing. They became known as the “Versailles Triumvirate.”

She was now an independent woman, in her early 30s, meeting her new world through Bessie. Marcel Proust came to visit the villa. She visited Jane Addams at Hull House in Chicago. She flew with Elsie and Wilbur Wright in the Wright Brothers’ “flying machine.” In 1909, she joined a group of women known as “the mink brigade” to support the International Ladies Garment Workers Union strike.

J. Pierpont Morgan died in 1913, at age 75. He left an estate of

approximately $100 million (or $2.5 billion in today’s currency).

To each of his daughters, he left $3 million (approximately $72 million in today’s dollars), with many bequests beginning with his wife Fanny (who died 11 years later in 1924).

He had not been estranged from Anne or any of his children, although he loathed Bessie Marbury and made sure to prevent her from being the first woman to receive the Legion d’Honneur from the French government (which she deserved). She had taken his daughter away from him.

Like her father, Anne Morgan made a prominent place for herself in the world. From 1917 to 1921, she took up residence 75 miles north of Paris at Chateau de Blérancourt, entrusted to her by the French Army, along with 350 American women—all volunteers—to help the war-ravaged civilian population in Picardy, in northeastern France.

After the war, she purchased the chateau, and restored a section to open a museum of French-American cooperation. Along with Ann Murray Dike, Morgan founded the American Committee for Devastated France. The group restored homes, shops, churches, and monuments devastated by the war. They built barracks for the homeless; provided seed and livestock; established dispensaries, clinics, rest houses, and traveling canteens for soldiers; and provided training for the disabled, along with schools, libraries, and camps.

Around 1920, at the suggestion of Bessie Marbury and Elsie DeWolfe, Anne Morgan and Anne Harriman Vanderbilt built townhouses all attached to each other, designed by Mott B. Schmidt, and all still standing a century later. Mrs. Vanderbilt’s house is on the northeast corner of Sutton Place between 57th and 58th Street, facing 57th Street at the river.

Next to hers is Anne Morgan’s house, now the official residence of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Next to her is the Marbury-DeWolfe house. All of the houses on that block overlook a lawn and the East River. It was often rumored that there was an underground tunnel that connected all three houses.

Anne Morgan also had an estate in Mount Kisco. Tobie Roosevelt (Mrs. Franklin D., Jr.) lived nearby as a child, and her mother was a friend of Miss Morgan. Tobie used to see her occasionally when Miss Morgan would take a walk on her property. What fascinated the very young Tobie was that Miss Morgan (who was very old to the child’s eyes) wore bloomers, long out of style, underneath her long skirt.

Anne Morgan died on January 29, 1952, six months before her 79th birthday. She had made the most of her life, and much in service to others. Her father was the kind of man who would have been proud of his daughter. u

Today the block remains virtually unchanged.

LIVING LEGEND and classic folk rock star David Crosby was

joined by longtime fans during the Cinema Society’s summer screening of a new documentary at East Hampton’s Main Street theater. Produced by Cameron Crowe and directed

by A.J. Eaton, David Crosby: Remember My Name portrays the ups and downs of Crosby’s career, which peaked as he cofounded Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young during the 1960s, and remains strong to this day. Since debuting at the Sundance

Film Festival, the film has received widespread praise from critics and fans alike. After the screening, which left Crosby’s wife nostalgic and teary-eyed, moviegoers were welcomed at hotspot Moby’s for an after-party and fireworks overlooking the Maidstone Harbor Marina—a perfect setting to toast the uplifting film. Guests that evening included Dylan Lauren, Brooke Shields, Martha Stewart, Jane Krakowski, Mischa Barton, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Rachel Zoe, and more.

On June 19, Tao Downtown was completely transformed into a whimsical wonderland; a long tunnel-like entry filled with lights and suspended flowers of all colors led into the main dining room, where people sat at banquet style tables in all white attire.

Servers—who donned floral gowns and bikinis—kept drinks flowing throughout the evening. The occasion:

the Swedish tradition of toasting summer solstice—and although the club was not quite as lit up as Sweden’s sunny sky, the energy perfectly reflected the theme of the celebration. After dinner was served, the venue turned into a nightclub with beats by DJ Chantel Jeffries.

IN MEMORIAM

MARYLOU WHITNEY, née Marie Louise Schroeder of Kansas City, Missouri, has died at 93. She was a genuine American dame, and became more universally known as the Queen of Saratoga. Marylou near-singlehandedly resurrected this historic upstate New York hamlet from relative obscurity, for which she was well feted and much beloved. Although she married into the thoroughbred scene when she became Cornelius Vanderbilt “Sonny” Whitney’s fourth wife, Marylou was hardly a stranger to the equine world. “I grew up on a horse,” she loved to tell her bluer-blooded colleagues, and indeed she had.

For more than 30 years, Marylou and Sonny managed a highly respected and successful stable, saddling such greats as Counterpoint, Phalanx, and Equipoise. When Sonny died in 1992, Marylou hardly rested on their laurels, and, calling upon her innate midwestern gumption, she bought back much of the C.V. Whitney bloodstock and created her own boutique stable.

With her new (and younger!) husband John Hendrickson, whom she married in 1997, their “small barn” of Eton blueand-brown-silked horses earned nine graded stakes victories and had 190+ winning mounts over a 20-year run.

Of course, Marylou was more than the horses and the houses and Sonny’s ever-expanding wallet. She had a whisper of “show 160 QUEST

biz” in her, which was nicely tempered by her naturally kind and generous manner. There was always that apocryphal tale about her riding a Central Park stable horse to the fashionable El Borracho Club and hitching the nag to a fence post before she joined the diners inside.

Glamorous as she was, in later life her charitable interests far outshone her glimmer. Most recently, and with the help and encouragement of her adoring husband John, she launched a backstretch appreciation program for stablehands in Saratoga.

“The backstretch workers are the sport’s unsung heroes. All of us should try to improve their lives and advance their dignity,” said Marylou upon receiving the Eclipse Award in 2011. And, of course, she was again spot-on.

Quest will be at The Spa this Saturday, August 3rd, for the Whitney Stakes, when thousands of Marylou’s fans will celebrate the long and generous life of this legendary lady and soul of Saratoga. Long live the Queen! —“Clocker” Counterclockwise from top: John Hendrickson (right) and Marylou Whitney with the late Dinny Phipps at Saratoga Race Course; Marylou Whitney (right) with His Royal Highness Prince Charles and Jorie Kent in Palm Beach; Marylou and Sonny Whitney at Saratoga.
