"The 39 steps to being a lady"

Last week I linked to an article in the UK's 'Country Life' magazine titled 'The 39 steps to being a modern gentleman'.  Now the magazine has come up with the female equivalent.  Its 39 steps include:

• Can say ‘thank you’ no matter where she is in the world
• Excels at making love, lasagne and long gin and tonics
• Can silence a man with a stare and make a dog lie down with a hand signal—and vice versa
• Can paunch a rabbit, pluck a pheasant and gut a fish, but allows men the privilege
• Knows when to let a man think it’s his idea
• Instills manners in her children, but lets their characters flourish
• Can handle a sports car, a sit-on mower and a ski lift
• Knows that ‘brevity is the soul of lingerie’

There are many more at the link.  (No lilac socks this time!)  Ladies, how do you rate?
