"High Society" by George S. Chappell, Frank Crowninshield, and Dorothy Parker is a satirical collection detailing the extravagant social life and customs of the elite, likely written in the early 20th century. This work uses humor and wit to reflect on the intricacies and absurdities of fashionable society, its characters, and their various social engagements. The book invites readers into a world filled with lavish dinner parties, opera nights, and the colorful personalities that grace the upper echelon of society. The opening of the book sets the tone for the overall experience, presenting a clear invitation to the reader, establishing not just accessibility but a playful challenge regarding who is deemed "in" society. It introduces a lively depiction of the characters, their motivations, and the social events they engage in, such as the horse show and opera season, depicted as essential elements in the social fabric. Through light-hearted and engaging prose, it begins to outline the various quirks and expectations of high society, foreshadowing the delightful satire and insights that will follow in subsequent sections of the work.
