Miss Gilliland Is Betrothed

    The betrothal of Miss Helena Gilliland and Mr. Robert Robinson of Brooklyn, N. Y., came as a surprise this month to Alameda friends of the bride-elect, whose family have been residents for many years in the island city.
    Miss Gilliland is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gilliland, now of Walnut Creek. She attended the University of California, and later completed her course of study at Columbia University of New York, where at present she holds the position of organization secretary of the Wellesley club.
    Mr. Robinson was graduated from the Boston Institute of Technology, and is an engineer in an eastern city. No date has been set for the wedding.
