By looking at things such as the food, décor, and dancing at these balls, historians could arrive at an understanding of how the Four Hundred wanted to be perceived by others as well as the various types of capital these elites exhibited to assert their claim as the leaders of upper-class New York. In addition, in the process of advancing their claims as the rightful leaders of Society, the New York Four Hundred transformed elite identity as well as upper-class masculinity to include competitiveness and even fitness and vigorousness, traits that once applied more exclusively to white middle-class masculinity.

HENRY’S INFLUENCES AND WORKING METHODS Presented by Gary Kass A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts And hereby certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________ Professor Tom Quirk ________________________________________ Professor John Evelev ________________________________________ Professor Steve Weinberg ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to Helen Snow, North Carolina Librarian of the Greensboro Public Library, who mailed me a copy of the notes taken by C. Alphonso Smith, O. Henry’s first biographer, when he interviewed Anne Partlan in New York on February 11, 1916. Thanks also to the librarians who helped me locate material from vol. 2 of Success magazine. Those issues, dating from December 1898 through November 1899, are missing from the microfilm record, having apparently never been photographed. I am grateful to Ann Dodge, coordinator of reader services in the Special Collections Department of John Hay Library at Brown University, who located the original issues on her shelves, and to Kathleen Brooks, library technical assistant, who kindly paged through each issue in search of Partlan material. In the process, she discovered “One Woman’s Hard Road to Fortune,” a profile of Partlan which I had not seen cited anywhere and which I was unaware of.
