Mrs. Tsfss Summer chums.

Mrs. Tafrs most intimate neighbors
while she is at Beverly. Mass. are the
Boardmans. who. like Mrs. Taft. hail
from the Buckeye State The families
have always been chummy. The
Boardmans. Of course. do not belong TO
what is known as the official set, but
that makes no difference with the
Tafts. 1t is not generally known. but
it is fact. that it was due TO the
Boardmans that Beverly was selected
as the summer capital" The Board
man home is about seven Massachu-
setts miles from Beverly; but, as both
families have automobiles and one OF
the finest roads in the Bay State
stretches between the two homes.
miles do not count Besides, the Board
man home overlooks the grounds Of
the famous Essex County club. where
the president will take his exercise on
the links. The house stands on n
rockbound coast and is appropriately
called Windclyffe because the ocean
winds blow about it the whole year.
The visits between the Taft and
Boardman homes are not trammeled
by etiquette.
