Yesterday was presidents day at the
California Club. A throng of handsome,
well gowned women gathered in the club
rooms to do honor to the president, Mrs.
George Law Smith, who received the
greetings of about 400 guests and mem
bers. Mrs. Smith, by her tact and per-
sonality, has succeeded in welding her
large organization itno pleasant family
rather Mormonistic in proportions, per-
haps, but bound together by ties of
mutual regard and common interests. 1t
was this affectionate regard that drew
together the largest audience of the pres
ent session and that promoted the senti-
ment of goodfellowship among the MEM
bers.
The president took occasion to an
nounc1e that on Saturday evening next
the California Club will hold a mass
meeting at Lyric Hall, Eddy street for
the purpose of exploiting the bond issue
question Senator ]. r. Knowland will
preside over the gathering and Samuel
Shortridge, William Alvord, G. B. Ben
ham and P. H. Mccarthy will deliver
short addresses. The president urged her
fair hearers to attend and not only to
perform that duty, but to bring their
friends-men friends, of course, whose
opinions have a tangible value.
The afternoon will surely prove pleas
ant memory to the president during her
task laden days of the future, as the club
calendar is heavy with self created tasks.

"A Stetson, to Dennis Searles has just
been announced.
The young lady has spent the summer
at the out of town house of her parents

The San Francisco call., 1903-09-23

Ayres and Mr.. Searles is without doubt
one of the cleverest summer coups of
Cupid.
The wedding will occur in January.
The engagement is announced of Miss
Adelaide Deming, daughter of z. o. Dem
ing, to Robert Mein of Oakland. The
friends of both these popular young peo-
pie have been long anticipating this pleas
ant denoUement and are correspondingly
happy.
Miss Deming is a dashing type ofJWest-
ern womanhood-svelt stunning and
clever. With a wealth of Rubens hair,
she possesses the individuality that is an
accompaniment of that type.
Mr. Mem is the son of the late wealthy
mining engineer of South Africa, whose
enterprises distinguished him during the
first rush to the gold fields. The mother
of the prospective groom is a resident of
Oakland, where she still maintains the
fine old family home.
The young people have been the recip-
tents of a flood of congratulations. While
the exact date is not set for the wedding
it will probably occur before the holi-
days.
Another bit of news for the smart set
it that Miss Pearl Landers, daughter of
John Landers-the dainty, daring and
chic Miss PEARLS to be married within
year. To whom? To George f. Whittell,
son of George Whittell, the capitalist. Of
1155 California street.
The engagement appears to be one of
the pleasant results of automobiling-and
there seem to be some that are pleasant.
Miss Landers during the. summer aston
ished Monterey SOjournerS by her daring
Tam O. Shanter rides in the red devils
and by her excursions in the auto of Mr..
Whittell, who holds Lou Dillon record
for speed in his car. Mr.. Whittell has
been an ardent devotee of the new style
of locomotion and has developed a pro-
ficiency almost Partisan in propelling his
machine. He is considered a capital fel-
low and his friends are showering him
with congratulations at having won so
dainty a maid as Miss Landers.
Miss Landers, as is well known, is a
cousin OF Mrs. Jack Johnson of Los An
geles, she who was the charming Berinice
Landers.
