Rather than criticize the fabulously wealthy of the first half of the 20th century for their wildly extravagant and massive expenditures, Lucius Beebe was far more likely to criticize them for tasteless extravagance. New York City's celebrated snob, gossip, and man about town, Beebe (1902-1966) launched a newspaper column in 1933 in which he described the affairs of high society in great detail. This collection of Beebe's writings exhibits his ability to be both funny and snide, while opening a window into the lives of the fabulously wealthy. This book is a reprint of a 1966 Doubleday edition. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
