		<title>Monday Muse: Evelyn Lauder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A true icon and role model for all women. I enjoyed the pleasure of her company on several occasions and was always impressed by her charm, grace, and intelligence. Her legacy will endure, but she will be greatly missed. &#160;]]></description>
