Which U.S. First Lady was known for serving alcohol to guests during Prohibition?

First Lady Florence Harding, the wife of the 29th US president, was known for serving alcohol in the White House during Prohibition. As a hostess, Florence presided over fine parties, where her husband would refer to her as The Duchess. But, she also moved with the times: flying in planes, launching new fashions like the silk neckband (to cover her wrinkles), showing after-dinner movies, and discreetly serving alcohol to guests and friends during Prohibition.

As First Lady, Florence adapted well to the White House. She had her own special agenda as an active woman promoting her husband to make certain decisions. She was a friend and confidante of Evalyn Walsh McLean, a high-profile heiress and socialite. Prohibition could not stop her from having a notably elegant party.
