《上流社会》是美国作家莱曼?弗兰克?鲍姆（Lyman Frank Baum，1856－1919）以伊迪斯?凡?戴恩（Edith Van Dyne）的笔名创作的“简姨妈的侄女们”系列之第五部，被列为“纯爱英文馆?少女成长”系列之第五部，原名可译为《简姨妈的侄女们在上流社会》。这一系列的书主要为青少年创作，在当时颇受读者欢迎。
约翰叔叔希望三位侄女——贝丝、帕齐和露易丝能够进入纽约上流社会，于是他通过在社交界颇有声望的黛安娜?凡?泰尔来引荐这三个女孩进入社交圈。在一次聚会上，黛安娜发现亚瑟?威尔登钟情于露易丝，心中顿生怨恨之情。她找来兄弟查尔斯共设密谋，以期达到自己的目的。露易丝就这样被卷入了一桩劫持案之中。

內容試閱：
he natures of these two girls had never harmonized in the slightest degree. Beth''s presence nerved Diana to a spirit of antagonism that quickly destroyed her repentant mood. As she confronted her visitor her demeanor was cold and suspicious. There was a challenge and an accusation in Beth''s eyes that conveyed a distinct warning, which Miss Von Taer quickly noted and angrily resented—perhaps because she knew it was deserved.
It would have been easy to tell Beth De Graf where her cousin Louise was, and at the same time to assure her that Diana was blameless in the affair; but she could not endure to give her antagonist this satisfaction.
Beth began the interview by saying: "What have you done with Louise Merrick?" That was, of course, equal to a declaration of war.
