Flora Payne Whitney

Flora Payne Whitney, also known as Flora Whitney Miller (July 27, 1897 – July 18, 1986), was an American socialite,〔"Flora Whitney died in 1986, inevitably wikipeded as a 'wealthy socialite.'" 〕 art collector, and patron of the arts.
==Early life==
Whitney was born and raised in New York, New York. Her father was Harry Payne Whitney, a sportsman and heir to the Whitney family fortune, and her mother was Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, heiress to a substantial part of the Vanderbilt family fortune. She attended Brearley School in New York and Foxcroft School in Middleburg, Virginia, where she met and became close lifelong friends with the artist Kay Sage.
Whitney made her debut on August 4, 1916, at "The Reefs," the Payne-Whitney "cottage" in Newport, Rhode Island. She was escorted by Quentin Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt, although her father did not approve of young Roosevelt. After the United States entered World War I, Quentin enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Service, and became engaged to Whitney before leaving for duty overseas. The glamorous young couple never married, since Quentin was killed in aerial combat in July, 1918. Love letters exchanged between Flora and Quentin while he was at the front were featured in Edward Renehan's book about TR's sons, ''The Lion's Pride'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998).
