&#;I&#;m not Old Guard. We were poor and we weren&#;t pretty. But my mother was very publicity-conscious and dressed us all alike and things like that so we were pretty well known.&#; &#;Elsie Cryder Woodward
Of course, there&#;s poor and there&#;s poor. &#;Poor,&#; when referring to Elsie&#;s father Duncan Cryder, meant a mansion on Gin Lane (Sandrift, now demolished), a house in New York, being a founding member of the Shinnecock Golf Club, and first president of the Meadow Club. Cryder&#;s tea importing business wasn&#;t a success, but because his brother, William Wetmore Cryder, was immensely rich and president of the Madison Square Bank, the Cryders lived well.
They had three identical daughters, known far and wide as the Cryder Triplets, Elizabeth (Elsie), Edith, and Ethel, born in , and a son, Ogden (Mrs. Cryder&#;s maiden name), born in In , the Cryders bought a Shingle Style cottage called Sandrift, on what is now Cryder Lane and Gin Lane.

The Woodwards: Tragedy in High Society
In time, the stories about Ann Woodward reached author Truman Capote, who ingratiated himself with Elsie's circle and began collecting anecdotes and gossip. The idea for a roman a clef — a novel based on real-life characters — began forming in Capote's mind and Ann Woodward was at the center.
Truman Capote, writer
The curtain was about to come down on the second act of the Woodward family tragedy.
Capote never let the facts get in the way of a good story and wasn't above using his skill as a storyteller to get back at those who had slighted him. When he and Ann quarreled at a debutante ball and Ann, her tongue loosened by drink, called him a "little faggot," Truman responded by dubbing her 'Miss Bang Bang.'
Mutual friends would recall later that Capote became almost infatuated with Ann Woodward's story and collected every bit of gossip about her he could find. He would recite them at the drop of a hat, friends said, equating his mania for Ann with that of an obsessive-compulsive.
At the request of a friend who edited Ladies Home Journal, Truman penned a wicked story about Ann Hopkins, "a jazzy little car
The Woodwards: Tragedy in High Society
At some point in , William Woodward Sr. passed the year-old Ann on to his son, five years her junior. It was love at first sight and very quickly the two were wed.
While her son's marriage started off happy, Elsie Woodward, the socialite who ran the most exclusive parlor of the New York , saw her new daughter-in-law as a gold digger who latched on to her son merely to get her hands on his $10 million fortune. Elsie considered Ann far below her in class and social skills and never accepted her into the family.
The Duchess of Windsor
Years later, Elsie, then the dowager empress of New York high society, talked to friends about her relationship with Ann. She recalled the first time she saw the beautiful model/radio actress. Ann was too pretty, too voluptuous to be a good person, she thought.
"One look and I knew the whole story," Elsie told her friends.
Elsie's scorn was palpable and soon the Vanderbilts and Astors and the rest of the pearls and party gown crowd who attended Elsie's parties picked up on it. Their rejection only served to fuel Ann's drive to gain acceptance. "She had no innards, no inside," a psychiatrist who treated
