Barbara Bush?

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 - RJNorton - 01-02-2017
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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-02-2017
(I am clueless. The term "lady" and the quoted statement bring first of all those to my mind who predated photography...)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 01-02-2017
Grace Coolidge ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-02-2017
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.

Edith Kermit Roosevelt
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-02-2017
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.

What did Lincoln buy Mary on New years Eve when they were living in Springfield?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 01-02-2017
Gloves ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-03-2017
Hair brush?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-03-2017
Handkerchieves, or soap? Or a comb?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 01-03-2017
All great guesses but none are correct.
Hint 1. It was practical and purchased early in their marriage.

A cook stove?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 01-03-2017
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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 01-03-2017
Hint 3. Think "How to...."
