POF.TLAXD society Is sadly depleted
at the present time, owing to the
tremendous migration to the
southland and eastern cities. An un
usually largo colony of Portlandera Is
at the present time In southern Cali
fornia, and groups of persons, although
not traveling in the saml party, happily
meet occasionally at the same hostelry
Last week a group of prominent folk.
Including Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Burns,
Mr. and- Mrs. Lee Hawley Hoffman, Mr.
and Mrs. Winthrop Hammond, Mr. and
Mrs. James D. Honeyman, Miss Helen

and Miss Ruth Teal, Dr. C. G." Sabln,
Mrs. Joseph K. Bowles, Edward Boyce,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Bair and

berta, and Rev. E. P. Murphy met at the
Paso Robles hotel in Paso Robles. The
majority of this group of Portlandera

motoring through California, stopping
at various famous beach resorts when
fancy ttrikes them.
There also are a number In New York
attending the opera and the theaters,
as well as doing a great deal of shop
ping for the spring and summer ward
robes, and primarily, of course, to wel
come the returning troops from over
seas. During the week past there- has been
a burst of gaiety for popular residents
of this city who will remove to other
cities, including Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur
E. Coman, who will go shortly to Spo
kane, where the former will bo in busi
ness. Practically every day has marked
some entertainment in their behalf,

When plans for the wedding of Miss
Dorine Wyld and William Gorrill swi
cert were made known last week the
news caused quito a flutter of excite
ment in social circles, as the young

their relatives and a few intimate
friends for some time, never had been
formally announced. The hastily ar
ranged nuptials were made necessary
by the announcement that Mr. Swigert
would leave for Boston to be gone for
some time.

and notable affair of yesterday after
noon, being solemnized at 4 o clock in
St. David's church. Rev. Thomas Jen
kins officiating.
