For if she will, she will, you may depend And frns!h'e won’t, she won't; so there’s an end on't. GAINST the opposition of her parents, against the arguments of her sister, against the impor- tunities of her admirers, and against the expostulations of her friends, May Hoffman, dash- ing society girl and ambitious leader of her set, has turned a deaf ear. She has determined to become a pro- fessional nurse, and has applied to a hospital in the East for admittance. She ha. made up her mind irrevocably to leave behind her ihe gayeties and friv- olties, the pleasures and pastimes of a society career; to espouse a life of work, a dreary routine of dull care, anxiety and drudgery; to exchange the days gay with tennis and teas, golf and gossip, lunches and larks, shopping and social success, for days wherein every hour holds its arduous duties and every lapse of alert attention or the slightest flagging of energy means a merited re- buke which must be humbly received. May Hoffman has been a typical so- ciety girl; tall, of fine physique, hand- some and well groomed, a perfect speci- men of the Gibson American model. Her boast has been that for every oc- casion she has been perfectly gowned— not because of the range of her ward- robe, but because of the discrimination that gulded her choice. The right cos- tume for the right hour has been a matter of study of which the attain- ment has been undisputed. And each and every gown May Hoffman has worn with that intangible air known to some few women who make their dress a part of themselves, and lend to the simplest frocks an air of rare dis- tinction. In shirt waist and taflor skirt she has reigned supreme, and in a ball ~~wn with frou frous and fluff she has been inimitable. Gay, dashing and accomplished, she is fitted to lead her coterie of young friends. She has bicycled with skill and daring, golfed among the first girls at the links, and danced with an ease and grace that has made her sought after for a partner. Her manner is a gift, easy, cordial, and with just the proper soupcon of zushand enthusiasm. She is bright and quick. and never at a loss for the valuable small talk of so- clety. Bhe has always been as pains- ukln%wm. the old as with the young, and she would leave an admiring cir- cle of friends to cross a room and make 00000000000000000000000CVO0OCCC0C0000 WILL BECOME A PROFESSIONAL NURSE Miss May Hoffman Will Go East Shortly to Study in a Hospital. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooog 00000000 a graceful little speech to some lady, three times her age, .standing alone, whom she had espied and recognized as a casual acquaintance. May Hoffman and her sister Alice are nieces of the late Judge Ogden Hoff- man, who had many warm friends, Among them was Charles Mayne, well known in San Francisco, who, out of love for the judge, left each of his nieces $50,000. The money left to May Hoffman was in railroad bonds, and the income therefrom began immediately and has been a steady one ever since. The part of Mr. Mayne's estate left to her sister Alice has been in litigation, and she has been unable to draw any of the money left ‘her, so she has never been independent like her older sister. She is athletic, fun-loving and popular, yet society could have understood from Alice Hoffman a determination to eschew society and become a profes- sional nurse, for the salary is a good one, and in her case this might have been the incentive.
