N.B.   Café society was the description of the “Beautiful People” and “Bright Young Things”
who gathered in fashionable cafés and restaurants in New York, Paris and London
beginning in the late 19th century, coining the phrase “café society” in 1915.
Members attended each other’s private dinners and balls, and took holidays in exotic locations or at elegant resorts.
In the United States, café society came to the fore with the end of Prohibition in December 1933,
and the rise of photojournalism to describe the set of people who tended to do their entertaining semi-publicly
—in restaurants and nightclubs—and who would include among them movie stars and sports celebrities.

Hmmmm! I don’t believe that most people think that that is cafe society, eh?
