This Valentines Day,
New York society was treated to an Edwardian Valentines
Day party at the Upper East Side penthouse of Jeffrey
and Elizabeth Peek. The ladies in attendance were
decked out in their Valentine's Day finest, but
they were hard pressed to surpass the elegance of
the gentlemen, many of whom were decked out in top
hats (supplied by the Peeks) and tails (supplied
by the guest). And all guests were welcome to fans
themselves with the gorgeous feather fans that functioned
as wearable art at the party.
All of this festivity was in honor
of the one-hundred-year-anniversary of Partnership
with Children. The Partnership will celebrate their
anniversay with a Centennial Ball at the Pierre
Hotel on April 16, 2008. Host Jeffrey Peek, the
Chief Executive officer of CIT, will be honored
at the ball.
Here is a quote from the
press release about Partnership with Children:
“Partnership With Children, founded by Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson,
Mrs. Henry O. Havemeyer and Mrs. Henry Ittleson,
the wife of CIT's founder. The women dedicated themselves
to the mission of mentoring and improving the lives
of underprivileged girls and young women. Today
their vision is realized through Partnership With
Children and its unique school based program
Open Heart Open Mind which supports 8000 children
whose difficult life circumstances put them at high
risk for academic failure."
It was a beautiful party in a beautiful home - a
perfect Valentine to Valentine's Day.
