    Mabel Choate (d. 1958)--daughter of Joseph Hodges Choate (1832-1917) and the former Caroline D. Sterling (1837-1929); her father was an attorney who served as US ambassador to England; her mother was one of the founders of Barnard College. Mabel Choate was active in the Republican Party, a supporter of the League of Nations, and trustee of Barnard College. Her family house at Namkeag (in Massachusetts) featured a spectacular modern garden designed by Miss Choate and Fletcher Steele. www.thetrustees.org/pages/335_naumkeag.cfm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Hodges_Choate Strangely enough, a character named "Mabel Choate" appeared in several episodes of "Seinfeld," as one of Jerry's parents' neighbors at Del Boca Vista--such an odd name, I suspect it's not a complete coincidence... ? Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson was the former Irene Langhorne, sister of Nancy Astor. Daughter of Chiswell Dabney Langhorne and Nancy Witcher Keene of Danville VA. She posed for some of the Gibson Girl sketches. She died in 1956. www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1975/2/1975...

    Would be a great history lesson to compare the workspace here. In the 1960 I worked in a setup much like this.

    • English. The picture shows a working woman. Considering her blindness, one thinks life was not fair with her. But all of us are in one sense or another limited beings. If looking at this picture, Ortega y Gasset may have said that that she lacking of is precisely what supports her. The photograph may not show a famous person, but it shows a working one—somebody that went beyond natural injustice and apparently transcended it too. • Castellano rioplatense. Con los auriculares puestos, esta taquígrafa ciega de principios del siglo XX fue fotografiada mientras trabajaba. Al considerar su ceguera, uno piensa que la vida no fue justa con ella. Pero, de alguna manera u otra, todos somos seres limitados. Importante es lo que hacemos con lo que la vida sí nos dio. Lo que nos falta es lo que nos sostiene, decía Ortega y Gasset. Esta foto acaso no muestre un ser famoso, pero muestra una taquígrafa ciega en plena labor. La imagen sugiere que ella, a la Naturaleza, la trascendió.
