    		During the reign of president Hayes (1877-1881), his wife Lucy manifested herself as a champion of the Prohibition movement, a typical feminist cause at the time. She only served soft drinks. Alcohol was strictly off-limits. It earned her the nickname 'Lemonade Lucy'.

    		Once in the White House, Lucy Hayes was considered the most popular hostess since Dolley Madison. She was a strong supporter of Temperance, and no alcohol was served in the White House during the Hayes administration, prompting the press to dub her "Lemonade Lucy." She also introduced the custom of having children roll Easter eggs on the White House lawn.
