Her comment was made several years before her husband became President.So does this mean she has/had female children only? (Or were the boys allowed to be photographed?) |

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
The children were a mixture of girls and boys.
I think she allowed photographs for private family use and enjoyment but didn't want them publically published in newspapers, magazines, etc. |

(I am clueless. The term "lady" and the quoted statement bring first of all those to my mind who predated photography...)

I am sorry, Gene, but it's not Grace Coolidge.
Hint #1: This was a 20th century President, but the quote came in the 19th century. |

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Kudos, Blaine, that is correct.
I was sort of taken aback when I first came across this quote, and even seeing it in context still seems surprising to me. The quote was made to newsmen in 1898. Blaine, you win best wishes for a wonderful 2017. |

Laurie, it's not a stove, but a stove would be necessary to take advantage of this item.
Hint 2. Lincoln purchased two items that can be thought of as companion pieces. |
