Big Four (debutantes)

The Big Four were a quartet of debutantes in the Chicago social scene during World War I who viewed themselves as "the four most attractive and socially desirable young women in Chicago." The quartet consisted of Ginevra King, Edith Cummings, Courtney Letts, and Margaret Carry. The Big Four—a name they coined and bestowed upon themselves—were the preeminent socialites of their era, and each wore a rose-gold pinkie ring with phrase, "The Big Four 1914," engraved on the inner band.
