Great Interest In Her 
Work. 
In connection with a picture of 
Miss Mabel Boardman of Washing- 
ton and Manchester, sitting at her 
desk, at the Red Cross Association 
headquarters, last Sunday’s Globe 
said the following: 
‘““Few women engaged in the 
broad charitable works of contemp- 
orary life are better known or more 
highly esteemed than Miss Mabel T. 
Boardman. - She is back again at her 
desk at the headquarters of the Na- 
tional Red Cross association in the 
war department building, Washing- 
ton. 
‘‘Tt is here daily that she carries 
on her self-imposed task of aiding in 
the direction of the affairs of this 
humanitarian organization, one 
which has the world for its field. The 
position pays no salary. Miss 
Boardman took the place primarily 
not for pay but because she saw the 
possibilities it offered for good, sub- 
stantial work. A _ sister-in-law of 
Senator Crane and enjoying a warm 
friendship with the Tafts, she is 
rich in her own right. 
‘“Miss Boardman, it will be re- 
membered, accompanied Mr. and 
Mrs. Taft on that now famous orien- 
tal trip. The party arrived in Japan 
just after the campaign of Manch- 
uria and her experiences at the Red

‘““Mr. Taft was successful in secur- 
ing her a place on their return and 
she has since been honored by King 
Victor Kmmanuel of Italy because 
of her loyal and active work at the 
time of the Messina calamity. 
‘‘Miss Boardman is a frequent 
visitor during the summer to Bey- 
erly. Last season she had entire 
charge of Mrs. Taft’s visiting lists at 
the capital. At Washington she liv- 
es with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
W. J. Boardman, in Dupont circle.
