Beside these shirts. there are very
attractive little white flannel suits
which may be worn on any outing, for
tennis, or driving which consist OF
shirt waist and skirt in simple de
sign. White appears in everything with
black as a smart contrast. Black is
promised a great prominence in the
early fall but it seems to have antici-
pated its popularity to such an extent
that it is gracing all smart costumes.
When a suit is of white the hat and
gloves are of black as well as the foot
gear. Numerous black and white NAL
inette ruches and boas are being worn
and look especially well on women. not
too young.
COOL AND DAINTY NEGLIGEES.
Many very attractive negligees for
house wear are quite simple TO make
and require but a small outlay to re-
aliZe These are of lawn and dimity
which come in the most attractive de-
signs. One pretty pattern slips on
over the head. 1t has a square yoke
cut out in square neck. and the lower
portion hangs in full folds from the
yoke. The sleeves are of elbow length
and these too hang free from any band
at the lower edge. The advantages of
this are that it can be slipped on at
a seconds notice and no buttons re
main to be fastened when it is once on.
Then. too. it is immensely becoming to
any wearer. The sack ends at the hip
line. Others are of the loose flowing
variety edged down the front and about
the neck and sleeves with soft filmy
ruffles These are Of white lawn and
Swiss. Dotted Swiss makes up into
very attractive negligees as well as
blouses for nice wear.

CORSET COVER AND
PETTICOAT IN ONE.
Designed by BERTHA BROWNING

In this day of perfectly fitted garments, the
particular woman appreciates economy in
bands and belts Here is shown a petticoat
and corset cover Joined in one. both attractive
in design and perfectly fitted. The corset cover
is cut with square neck and a very narrow
band over the shoulder Groups of tucks in
tercepted BY bands of insertion provide an
easy fullness over the bust, while the tucks
continue the entire length in back. The Cirdle
joining the garments is shaped to the fig ure
and closes in front The petticoat may be
daintily trimmed with lace to match the corset
cover. A fine quality OF raiusD"k or lorg cloth
will give best service. while lawn or muslin
may prove very pretty. In the medium size.

! is threatened and will undoubtedly 20. The Ex-
aminer and the Call buildings are gone, and the
Crocker Building, across the street from the
Palace Hotel, is on fire.
All of San Franciscos best playhouses, In
Guiding the Majestic, Columbia, Orpheum and
Grand Opera House, are mass Of ruins. The
earthquake demolished them for all practical
purposes and the fire completed the work of
destruction. The handsome CasserIy Building
was burned to the ground, as was everything in
that district.
MORE SHOCKS AT NIGHT.
Night added to the horror, and as darkness
fell the sky was illuminated in all directions.
AS the flames spread into the residence district
people left their homes and fed to the parks
and squares. series Of rather severe earth
shocks at I o'clock further increased the terror
and many left homes that were not in danger.
At o'clock tonight the flremen were as far
as ever from checking the progress OF the
flames. In the northern part Of the downtown
business district the fire swept around the Hall
Of Justice and communicated TO Chinatown,
thence proceeding westward into the heart OF
that colony. In then began rapidly eating It's
way southwark ON both sides of Kea-ney street
and at D. m. was within block Of the Cali
fornia Hotel. This point is near the plant OF
"The Evening Bulletin in which the three
morning papers had agreed to join to issue a
four page paper tomorrow morning. That plan
was abandoned, as The Bulletin" lies directly
In the path Of the flames.
One of the big losses of the day was the de-
struction Of st. Ignatiuss Church and College
at Van Ness avenue and Hayes street This
was the greatest Jesuit institution in the world
and was built at a cost of $2OOOOOo.
NO CHECK TO THE FLAMES.
At o'clock tonight the fire had swept from
the south side of the town across Market street
into the western addition, and was burning
houses at Golden Gate avenue and Octavia
street. This result was reached after almost
the entire southern district from 9th street to
the eastern waterfront had been converted into
a blackened waste. In this quarter We're hun
dreds OF factories. wholesale houses and many
business firms. in addition TO thousands of
homes.
On the north side the fire tonight was not
making such rapid headway as in the western
addition, where there is limited water supply
available The fremen are making desperate
efforts TO prevent the encroaehments of the
flames. Temporary headquarters were estab-
lished In tents in Portsmouth Square this even
ing for Mayor Schmitz. Chief of Police Dinan
and General Funston. but this site became too
dangerous about o'clock and was abandoned.
Later the flames swept the square.

Mercy. was reduced to ashes
