Views Showing the Devastating Effects Of Earthquake and Fire San Francisco

It is now decided that the old lines
of the city will not be followed, but
that instead new thoroughfares will be
traced, all streets made wider than
formerly, and a uniform style of archi-
lecture adopted. For two years Daniel
Burnham, an architect, had been agi-
tating for city beautiful. He had raj
lied many business men to his support,
but his plan5 were abandoned by the
city authorities only two months ago
as beyond all reason in cost
Now, the twin disaster of earthquake
and fire has made possible the accom-
plishment of Burnham's dream, which
| it had been admitted by every one
would transform San Francisco into
the most beautiful city in the world.
| Work will begin at once in pushing
Burnham's ideas to complete develop
ment and all the municipal officials
are enthusiastic over the outlook.
Mayor Schmitz expressed his delight
with the plan for the new San Fran
cisco.
sThe whole city will be remodeled,"
| said Mayor Schmitz. "We will start
work right at the water front. Even
| the ferry house, which survived the
fire, will be torn down and replaced

will offer two unbroken lines Of sky
scrapers. Throughout the city improve
ment will be carried out exactly as Mr..
Burnham has advocated for two years.
I'VE will have great boulevard and
terrace at Twin Peaks, and the several
new parks and other beauty spots con-
ceived by the architect now will be con-
structed. The changes will cost tens
of millions, but the result will be that
San Francisco will stand as the most
beautiful of all cities. predict that
there will be nothing to compare to the
new city in beauty and utility. We
were too cramped in our business
quarters. Now we are going to have
plenty of elbow-room, and, besides, we
will have a city that will delight the
eye. All the old ugliness has gone for
ever.

Internationally the Elton jacket is to
be pronounced favorite of the incom'
ing season and exceedingly chic and
dainty are many of its later forms.
This one is so simple as to appeal to
the home dressmaker at n glance,
while it is eminently smart. In the
illustration the material is one of the
new gray suitings, while the collar and
cuffs are of velvet finished with APP
plique. The list of suitable materials,
however. includes the entire list OF
seasonable suitings, for the jacket is
appropriate for linen and silk quite as
we'll as for wool. In this instance the
sleeves are in the favorite and always
attractive three-quarter length, but
long ones can be substituted if a more
practical garment is desired. Velvet
collar and cuffs are much liked this
season, but are by no means the only
ones in style. for linen on wool and
linen on silk make distinctive charac-
teristics of prevailing fashions and
are to be found in a great many attrac-
tive colors, while again, Bulgarian en-
broideries are exceedingly smart and
plain broadcloth on mixed material al
ways makes handsome effect.
The jacket is made with fronts, side
fronts. back and side backs. Both the
fronts and the back are under-faced
at their edges and arranged over the
side fronts and the side backs, so Civ
ing an entirely novel effect, while they
are stitched to a position with belding
silk The fiat collar at the neck makes
the most becoming as well as the most
fashionable finish. and the fact that the
Jacket is closed in double breasted
style allows opportunity for the use Of
handsome buttons. The sleeves are
full mounted over plain Innings and
are finished with up-turned cuffs.
