Well, depends on how you were brought up. I just turned 26 and I can tell you that I was raised with very old standards: 1. Stand up when a lady of your immediate party enters. This way, you are available to be of assistance to her. 2. Always welcome new neighbours with a food item you made yourself, as a gift. 3. Display dignity when walking, have pride and grace in your walk with even shoulders. 4. Shake with one hand, the other tucked into a fist behind your back so it is not hanging. You shake with both hands to show great respect to the other party. 5. Ladies first; *always*. 6. Personal thank you letters that are handwritten is showing taste and gratitude a computer simply cannot convey.

I agree. Of all the First Ladies, I think she would be my favorite. I am also glad you described her as beautiful, because she was apparently told quite frequently growing up that she was ugly, and unattractive. (She related this in an interview one time -- I heard it in the PBS series on the Presidents). Beauty is something that transcends one's physical appearance. She was very much concerned with the problems that people she met were dealing with, and that concern was genuine. She was also a civil rights advocate long before many others were.

Fronika Well, she did not have the happiest of childhoods, and even when married to Franklin, was somewhat dominated by his mother, who lived until 1940, around the end of FDR's second term as President. And yet she handled this with grace and poise, and as FDR was struggling to overcome the devastating effects of polio, it fell to Eleanor to keep his name alive in Democratic Party circles, and FDR's political expert, Louis Howe (I think that is the name), became her "coach" as she began making public speeches to Democratic groups. That was when she began to really blossom, and gain a great deal of self-confidence. Without her activity in this area, FDR never would have become President.
