In her spare time the Baron ess, as she is called, indulges 1n a favorite hobby, nursing at the Bliler Instltute of Bov1neology. I believe that Idss Bliler was studying to be a nurse when she also wa jilted by a student doctor, and ever slnce, Miss Bl1ler has had nothing to do with medicine as a profession. Also at the table we see someone w1th their back to us but seems to be th life of the party.
