About this Item

[Association Copy, inscribed by Hope Ridings Miller to Gwendolyn Cafritz on half title page.] Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Spine sunned. Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by author.* Gwendolyn Cafritz was a leading Washington hostess. The widow of Morris Cafritz, a wealthy real estate entrepreneur, Mrs. Cafritz glittered on the capital's social scene in the 1950's and 1960's. As president of the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, she oversaw annual contributions of about $6 million to local community and arts organizations. Mrs. Cafritz combined wealth, effervescence and numerous contacts in business and government into a potent concoction of lavish entertainments that, in Washington, are as much a part of political life as sessions of Congress. Hope Ridings Miller observed life in the U.S. capital for more than 70 years as society editor of the Washington Post and a magazine editor and author.
