In 1877 (durring the Grant administration), one Mrs. E.B. Duffey wrote a book titled "The Ladies and Gentlemen's Etiquette" - a manual for the manners and dress codes of American society. Among the matters she wrote about was proper treatment of the government and administration. Of the women in power, she wrote:
"The wife of the Cheif Justice, and not the wife of the president, is the First Lady in the land, and takes precedence of all others. She holds receptions and receives calls... Next in rank comes the wife of the president..."
