Caroline Astor and her guests, drawing, 1902
High society, sometimes simply society, is the behavior and lifestyle of people with the highest levels of wealth and social status. It includes their related affiliations, social events and practices.[1][2] Upscale social clubs were open to men based on assessments of their ranking and role within high society.[3] In American high society, the Social Register was traditionally a key resource for identifying qualified members. For a global perspective, see upper class. The quality of housing, clothing, servants and dining were visible marks of membership.[4]
