An interesting glimpse into the thought processes of a young woman of privilege & spirit in the 1890s. Adele Florence Sloane's mother was a Vanderbilt & her father was a member of a wealthy merchantile family in NYC. The diaries edited by her grandson-in-law Louis Auchincloss reveal a woman of substance in the years between her debut & her marriage. Recommend a contrasting read with her cousin Consuelo Vanderbilt's The Glitter & the Gold.
