Hotel de Redwood.

HOTEL DE REDWOOD, July 3O.-The guests here are having merry time. Wednesday evsping an amusing cake walk was indulged\ in by nine couples.

McCrory; Revolutionary dame. Tama Angelina Scott, and son, Jeremiah, by Mrs: M. s. Cox and H. Clark; Paul and Virginia as fernbearers, by Mrs. Charles E. Ker and Dr. s. s.

WILL BECOME A
 PROFESSIONAL NURSE
May Hoffman Will Go Shortly Study Hospital


graceful little speech to some lady. three times her age, standing alone. whom she had espied and recognized as 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, we'll 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 steady one ever since The part of MT. 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.
 But May Hoffman, with money in addition to position, youth and good looks, seems to have no cause for turn ing her back upon the gay world to bury herself in a hospital with the sick.
 There has been another side to May l Hoffman'S character. She has been ac- | lively engaged in charitable work for l the past three years, and having money as we'll as time and a good heart, she has been a valuable aid to many a charitable undertaking. Society said | that charity was a fad with this so- ciety belle some said her ambition for l leadership and her love of managing had led her into field where she ruled by reason of untiring zeal and undis- puted capability, added, of course, to the all-important factor-money. But | fads are evanescent as a coquette's caprice, and May Hoffman has not tired of her benevolent work
 At the Childrens Hospital she has been constant visitor, and in every scheme for it's advancement and profit she has been head and foremost Her friends question if it is there she has imbibed love of nursing, a desire to soothe, to comfort and to help; or If, | perchance, the white cap and apron appeal to her idea of perfection-or | at least variety-in dress; or, if in the lavish expenditure incidental upon career such as hers she has drawn upon her principal and is now desirous of | retrenching; or whether war has turned her thoughts to graver issues, to the nurse or the battle field and the pillow smoothing of some wounded soldier; or 1T she longs for an experience that is novel, as we'll as to give unto others sensation of which she is the heroine; or if she has simply exhausted the life or society girl and the devotion of 1 the society man.

 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 he 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 Tagging of energy means merited re- buke which must be humbly received.
 May Hoffman has been a typical so- ciety girl; tall, of fine physique, hand some and we'll groomed 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 guided her choice The right cos eeAAAS AOA SAS AA6iL HUH ildS D6oI d matter of study of which the attain ment has been undisputed.
