Mrs. I Ai I L. i&P ' Vl Lola G. Baldwin, secretary of the Trav- ft fj t v , S fl elers' Aid and Employment Society has II s7 1 ' JkTL I been delegated by the Y. W. C. A. to I V1S F ZN-'l ! give all her lime to this work, and every wYyg " " N $ rt jl day has seen her at the station, where F " K t It she has Installed various appliances for t TX 1 MV fr 8 the cbmfort of those coming here from ' ' i " 1 x I San Francisco. Among these appliances ' iLf are medical supplies, wrappings and antl- f V- W septics for dressing wouiids, a go-cart for ; 8 ',,t,,'. V fretful babies, a cot for the weary. In 16 i w this work, Miss Barnum, of the associa- I J -. ft tlon, has rendered splendid service, and I A Mrs. Fletcher Linn, representing the Peo- y v, V jTHT' ple'a Institute, has been on hand every y T Am i day to meet the . early morning train. ' ; i ySVvV V Aw " ' '7 Airs. Linn has been one of the most tire less and' efficient workers In the relief movement. Just now, her friends are urging her to take time for rest. Mrs. Montgomery, chairman of the gen eral relief committee, was fortunate in her selection of helpers for the fltttng-out department, and the permanent commit tee, as It is called, with Mrs. Hugh Hume as chairman, has done most efficient ser vice. The other members of this com mittee are Mrs. John Cran. Mlis Henriet ta Falling. Mrs. Max Hlrsch, Mrs. Charles Kurnrn, Mrs. Qus Simon, and Mrs. R. B. Lamaon. One of theae ladles has been present at the City Hall headquarters each day, with three or more assistants, and between 60 and 75 persons have been fur nished by them with necessary clothing which would enable them to begin life over again. The ladles ttnd that many professional people are now coming to Portland, doctors, clergymen, lawyers and many young women stenographers. It Is desirable to fit these persons out in such a way as will make It possible for them to start over again In their own line of work, and consequently It Is necessary to purchase considerable new clothing. Shoes and underwear for men and women, and dress skirts have been the articles most frequently bought this past week. Mrs. Joseph N. Teal, chairman of the purchasing committee, and the other members of this committee have aystem atised their efforts so that one member does the necessary purchasing each day. So long as refugees keep coming from California, and are In need of the services of Portland women, so long will that ser vice be tendered, cheerfully and effec tively. No part of the relief work has been trior worthy of notice than that of the Needlework Guild of America. Persons who. prior to the California dis aster, spoke of It as an ex cellent organisation, now speak of It with the warmest enthusiasm, as everyone connected with the relief work In any way has come to realise its value as never before. The report of Mrs. James S Reed, rendered to the general committee during the past week, shows that the surprisingly large number of 4234 new articles has been contributed through the Portland chapter alone. The transportation committee, under Mrs. Ijouls H. Tarpley, which rendered such ex cellent service, has had comparatively few calls during the past week, though pre viously they had answered not lees than 1100. Mrs. R. B. Lamaon was of great help to this committee In making collec tions from the Willamette Heights dis trict. Over 200 donations were collected by George Chamberlain at the Irvington Clubhouse. Mrs. Mary Phelps Montgomery and her executive committee desire to express their most cordial appreciation toward all who have so far aided in the work of the women's relief committee. To name individually all who are Included in this list would not be possible. Special thanks are due to Father McDevitt and the Sla ters of Mercy, to Colonel Gantenbeln, who placed the Armory at their disposal; to the various laundries, transportation and supply companies; to Rabbi Wise, to the numerous organizations of women of various religious or fraternal bodies who sewed; to Miss Alice Slbson for her ef ficient service In shipping all boxes, to Mrs. Holt Wilson and her reception com mittee; to Father Broisse&u, to the City Board of Charltlea for generous co-operation; to Thomas Strong. Mrs. Millie Trumbull. Mr. Eliot and Mr. Walpole. all of whom became for the time being mem bers of the women's relief committee and contributed to its success.

Mr. and Mrs. Bert Charles Ball are spending their honeymoon in Victoria and Vancouver. B. C. They will be at home after June 8. Mrs. Ball made one of the daintiest brides seen In Portland this season. Her gown was an exceedingly handsome one. The material was white brocade satin of very rich and beautiful texture, and the yoke trimmings, which were espe cially effective, were of very fine point applique lace. Plaitings of tulle, over laying the brocade, gave an effect of filmy lightness, so that the gown was at once rich and airy and in this way quite distinctive. The matron of hon or's gown was of pink chiffon cloth and the bridesmaids were dressed alike in fine white net over pink silk. The reception at the Muir residence, fol lowing the church ceremony, was a small affair, only' the closest friends of the bride being bidden- The house was decorated with pink hawthorn; except the dining-room, where quanti ties of white roses banked the mantle and the sideboard and adorned the bride's table. Ladles who assisted In! the dining-room were: Mrs. Donald Mackay, Mrs. p. F. Morey, Mrs. Curtla Strong and Mrs. Charles Beebe. Miss Katharine Ball caught the bride's bou quet. The bride's mother and her three sisters formed the 'important part iii the family group gathered around her Mrs. Whalley was in black silk with handsome yoke trimmings of white rose point. Mrs. Frank Watson was In a flowered brocade silk having a lilac pattern over a. white ground. Mrs. Herbert Huson was in black lace and Mrs. William Muir in yellow satin brocade.

The fact that Mrs. J. Whyte Evans is to sing for the first and probably the only time in public adds interest to the occasion, and musicians are especially pleased over the fact that all the musio' rendered will be of Mr. Luchesl's composition. The fame of Mrs. Evans' voice has spread in Port land since she sang at Mrs. A. E. Rockey's muslcale some time ago.

The meeting of the Pan-Hellenic was no exception to this and although the society is not a large one, its members are interested in all the educational and literary ques tions of the day. and many interesting Ideas were advanced. A short programme was rendered, Miss Lenore Williams, a Stanford girl, singing several songs, and Miss Jessie Goddard. of the high school, giving a delightfully humorous reading.

When they are tired of tennis they go into the hall and have a merry dance. Ample opportunity for. recovering from the disarray of tennis dress Is fur nished by the shower baths and dressing rooms, which are much appreciated by the . players. '-.''.
