The announcement of Dr. Washington Dodge's engagement to a fair Gothamite is causing a bit of pleasurable excitement. Mrs. Ruth Brown, the fiancee, is the daughter of Rabbi Vidaver, who was well known in this city a decade ago as the rabbi of the Taylor street synagogue.

Since the demise of Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown has made her home in London with an occasional visit to San Francisco, where she has been very popular among the musical and art set.

The wedding will take place im New York, after which Dr. Dodge will return home with his bride and establish a home on Presido Terrace.
