The Tiffany Ball Lights Up Marble House


In 1895 there were 300 live hummingbirds hovering around an indoor fountain in honor of the Duke of Marlborough's visit to the $11 million Marble House built in Newport RI by William K. Vanderbilt, grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt. On July 13 1957 Marble House, which like many sumptuous Newport estates had been closed in recent years, glittered briefly again, although no hummingbirds were present this time. The occasion was the benefit Tiffany Ball, attended by 1,200 members of East Coast society, resplendent in jewelry valued at an estimated $20 million.

Marble House Glittered Brightly During The Tiffany Ball, With A Never Ending Fleet Of Limousines And Luxury Cars Pulling Through It's Driveway


The ball was held by the Preservation Society of Newport, the purpose of it was to raise money for the restoration of some 400 17th and 18th Century buildings in Newport County. To enter the house, dance in the ballroom, dine on the lawn and in the dining room and mingle throughout the house, it cost $25 a head ($203 in 2012).

The Ball Was Sponsored By Tiffany & Co., Which Furnished A $12,000 Table Service And A $600,00 Diamond

The guest list included many representatives of Newport's High Society families and several members of Newport's Old Guard were there. In attendance were Mrs Frederick Prince Jr. (whose husband owned Marble House), Katherine Warren (leader of the Preservation Society) and her husband George Henry Warren, Mrs. Louis S. Bruguiere (queen of Newport's Old Guard and a surviving member of Mrs. Astor's 400), Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Clagett (he was vice president of Coal & Coke Co. and she was vice chairman of the ball), Mr and Mrs John Nicholas Brown (he was known as the "Richest baby in the world" and she helped to find the Preservation Society), Senator and Mrs. John F. Kennedy, Mrs. Ottavio Prochet (Committee vice chairman), Mrs. Guy Fairfax Cary (a surviving member of Mrs. Astor's 400), Mrs. John Drexel III, Mr and Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse, Mr and Mrs James C. Clark, Henry Randolph and Count and Countess Szapary (the only Vanderbilt there).

Mrs Sheldon Whitehouse Was The Lucky Lady Who Was Chosen To Wear The $600,000 Diamond Tiffany Had Loaned

Countess Szapary Was The Only Vanderbilt In Attendance At The Ball, Even Though The Home Had Once Been Owned By Vanderbilts

Thomas Clagett And His Wife Were The Luck Winners Of The Ball's Raffle Prize, Two Tickets To Rome

Th evening was a hit, netting $30,000, and it would be repeated several times more by the Preservation Society. During the night Senator Kennedy seemed to be all over the place, talking and socializing with other guests. He had worried before about a photographer taking a photo of him holding a drink, but no such photograph was ever taken.





















Senator Kennedy Was All Over The Place During The Ball, Never Once Being Seen With A Drink Of Alcohol In His Hand

Guests Socialized On The Lawn During The Tiffany Ball At Marble House, A Stage Had Even Been Set Up

The Enormously Wealthy Perle Mesta Arrived A Little Late, She Was Greeted By Henry Randolph At The Entrance Of The House

The Tiffany Ball will be remembered as one of the greatest balls ever held in Newport, much like Mrs. Astor's annual Summer Ball and Mrs. Fish's annual Harvest Ball.

    1. Actually Katherine Warren ~ a prominent local socialite whose husband was a third-generation Newporter ~ was responsible for for finding the society. Doris Duke was founder of the Newport Restoration Foundation, a wonderful working society that maintains Rough Point marvelously.

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  15. HOW I GOT RID OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS1&2.

    I want to inform the public how I was cured of herpes simplex Virus by a herbal Dr called ISHIAKU. I visited different hospitals but they gave me a list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which are very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedies on Herpes and I saw comments of people talking about how dr ishiaku cured them. I Was scared because I never believed in the Internet but I was convinced to give him a try because I had no hope of being cured of herpes so I decided to contact him on his email, i searched his email on the net and I saw a lot of people testifying about his goodness. When I contacted him he gave me hope and sent a Herbal medicine to me that I took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without any problems, my HERPES result came out negative. You can contact him on his what - sapp him via (+2348180828544) or email ishiakuherbalcure@yahoo.com and get all your problems solved.

  18. The author did an excellent job of presenting both sides of the argument and allowing the reader to make their own conclusions. Very well-balanced. A Refresh Rate Test is essential for gamers and people who work with high-speed visuals. It helps determine the refresh rate of the monitor, which is crucial for a smooth and seamless experience.

  19. I'm impressed by how this article manages to be concise without sacrificing the richness of its content. A truly commendable feat. However, colorblindness does not automatically disqualify individuals from all military roles. Many positions, such as administrative or logistical roles, may not require precise color vision and can still be pursued. Go through this article to know more about Colorblindness and military jobs.
