Of Miss Alice Hoffman, who was so
well liked while on the mentioned visit
here, the Town Talk has the following
complimentary bit: lover in San Rafael
they have more of SAVIOR vivre than Is
exhibited in society at Bhgum. AS l
stated last week, the Bhigumites at
Monterey in the haute saison treated
Mrs. Gilman-Brown in the most churish
manner. Contrast their conduct with
that of society in San Rafael toward
May Sutton, the precocious tennis play
er, who defeated Alice Hoffman. The
clever little athlete from the south re-
ceived all sorts of encouragement, and
after her victory she had no warmer
friend or admirer than Alice Hoffman,
| who proceeded to make her the object of
most generous hospitality. But, as every
| body knows Alice Hoffman is of the
manner born. She is not of the newly
| rich who quarrel over questions involv-
| ing the superiority of ones coachman,
| or ones furniture, or ones house. Alice
Hoffman has given up active participa-
| ton in nearly all sports except drawing.
Though she went into the tennis tourna-
ment at San Rafael, 1t was only with
her genuine sportsmanlike desire to help
out and make the affair a success. She
| did not train. She never does. She does
not specialize She doesn't dare for
| trophies, but prefers to become pref
cient in all sports and enjoy the exercises
and the excitement. She has won medals
| for swimming, and at Del Monte last
ISear she was third, / believe, in the golf
tournament being beaten by MIS-. Brown
and Miss Crockett, who make special
/ ty of golf She is also an expert billiard
player and last year when her brothers
We're building house at Lake Lagunitas
she worked as well as any of the men.
| When she was in Honolulu several years
4 ago, she made several thousand dollars
