San Francisco
Has a Fierce
Electric Storm
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

San Francisco, Jan. 16.-A storm Of
rain and wind swept San Francisco
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing, and before 1t had moderated the
city experienced the meteorological od-
dity Of thunder and lightning.
The storm came up with a stiff
southeaster, which gained in velocity
until it reached a 30-mile an hour
speed. Streets were flooded, man
holes burst, street cars were forced to
stop here and there and theatre-goers
compelled to wade back to their homes
The greatest damage occurred at
the Point Bointa lifesaving station, on
the Marin county side Of the Golden
Gate. Two bolts of lightning struck
the station, one razing the signal staff
from the summit of the hill and the
other demolishing the observation
tower over the station house. The
lightning severed telephone wires,
connecting the isolated stations with
the outside world and wrecked the
plumbing Captain j. L,Nutter and
his crew were uninjured.
In various sections of San Francis
co bllboards were torn down, and
one man was hurt by u falling sign
SO fierce was the gale outside the
heads that two pilot-boats, accustomed
to the fiercest weather. were COM
PEELED to seek refuge in port The
boats suffered considerable damage
before they could return inside the
harbor The pilots reported the
roughest weather they had expert
enced in years.

FASHION NOTES

CINCE there are at least some
-, summer weather to belooked
for, discussions as to the ma
terials and styles for the autumn
may seem little premature, but
many beautiful things are being ex-
plotted and there are interesting
facts to be learned. While most Of
US are largely given over to that
pleasuring that comes with the
summer weather, there is always a
little time to give to questions Of
dress and fashion and the fact that
we are to have marvelously beautiful
materials undoubtedly will be well
come news. To be sure we have had
exquisite fabrics for a number of sea-
sons and, year by year. manufacturers
have seemed to outdo themselves but
there seems, ever room for improve
ment, for the opening display of dress
materials Is ravishing in very truth.
IN a general way, velvet and rough
finished materials will be given
first place for coats and for suits.
Wool velvet has been developed in
numberiess fascinating variations and
the silk and wool velvets are beautiful
beyond description. Again all the
matelasse and broche effects appear
in wool, in silk and in silk and wool
mixtures. What is known as Duve-
tine, or a material woven Of silk and
wool with plush-like pile yet ex-
tremely soft and light of weight, is a
novelty. For the most part it com.
bines two tones and will be ideal for
suit trimmings as well as for entire
coats and wrapG
The Washington herald., 1913-08-24

INDEED il might be said that velvet
gives the keynote Of the season.
for the velvet effect is found in the
greater number of fabrics offered.
Undoubtedly, it will be combined.
with plain wool and with silk and
treated in various ways but, never
theless. the velvet effect is the pre-
dominating note. Some Of the new
wool velours are woven in corduroy
stripe; others again are woven in
wide stripe with just single fattened
thread between to mark them and
there are velours in all the beautiful
oolors, in two-tones effects. In stripes
and in checks.
Broadcloth as we know 1t Is not ex-
pected to have great vogue, but there
is new broadcloth with an outlined
plaid thrown upon it in a material
not unlike eponge that is expected to
have great favor and there is broad
cloth that is woven in two-toned
stripes and in two-toned checks,
while all these smooth-fnished fabrics
viii be used in combination with rough
whether they finally are made into
entire costumes or are not.
A GREAT deal Of plaid Is ex-
~ plotted both in silk and in
wool and plaid surah makes
ideal trimming for early season coc
tunes
"OLORS are real delight. Blue
in all its wonderful shades the
dull predominating, green and
brown are conspicuous. Many Of the
two-toned broadcloths combine green
and brown in narrow stripes and there
are tiny checks of these two colors that
are always attractive. one enhancing

n MATERIALS for the autumn are
mi marvelously beautiful. All
the crepe finished silks are to
be extensively worn, charmeuse satin
retains its important place and also
many Of the poplin weaves viii be
seen while there are novelties almost
without number. In the first group
Is shown a gown of broche crepe with
trimming Of satin and collar Of lace
The little puckered up drapery in
both the skirt and the blouse makes
an important feature. The back Of
the skirt forms panel and this panel
can be extended to make little train
but the greater number Of girls will
like it cut of in walking length. As
a matter of course, plain crepe or char
neuse could be substituted for the
broche but the combination shown
here is an excellent one. The three
successive gowns illustrate variations
of the panel idea and panels make a
somewhat important feature of pre-
Vailing modes. The striped gown is
made of a silk and wool novelty with
collar and cuffs of Cubist silk that
gives Just a touch of bright color. The
skirt gives the tunic idea but It Is
really all in one, with the upper por-
tions being stitched to the lower
portion and the panel sufficiently
within the edge to carry out the idea
The trimming Of buttons and simu-
lated button-holes makes good effect.
In place of the striped material, re-
versed for the trimming portions
could be used contrasting one, and
plain material made up with striped
or with figured would make a smart
effect for combinations will be much
used and manufacturers are especially
catering to gowns of the sort. The
very narrow panel shown on the seated
figure can be utilized for embroidery
or for lace quite as well as for con
trasting material. As the gown is
shown here, it Is made of the new
China crepe that is heavier than crepe
de chine and wonderfully beautiful.
The collar and panel are of heavy lace
and the chemisette is of tucked chiffon
The gown Of checked material shows
overlapped edges with a wedge shaped
panel and the panel and collar are
made of plain charmeuse satin while
the gown itself is of a checked ma
terial combining silk and wool. The
dropping shoulders and the rolling
collar with lace jabot are especially
smart

rough finish is to be worn. The
first gown Of the second group
shows a variation of silk eponge COM
bined with charmeuse satin. 1t is ex-
ceedingly smart and it gives just the
slender lines that the women who are
seeking an effort of height will appre-
riate. The draped sash is noteworthy.
for everything that gives an Oriental
suggestion is to be found in autumn
fashions. White gowns are exceed
fngly smart and are always beautiful
The one shown on the second figure is
made of white charmeuse with trim
ming of black and white silk. The
Medici frill that finishes the neck edge
must not be overlooked, for such frills
are to be found on the newest models
and are very generally becoming.
Girls who are thinking of remodeling
will be seen to like the remaining
gowns of the group for they offer
interesting suggestions. The one to
the left shows charmeuse satin over
broche crepe, but could easily be re-
produced in any two harmonizing
fabrics. The back portion of the skirt
is shaped to give cutaway effect and
tapped over the front while the bodice
Is composed of an over-blouse and
guimpe- Peplums Of all kinds are to
be worn and one of the greatest ad-
vantages of the peplum blouse is
found in the coat suggestion that
renders it adapted to street wear
throughout the autumn. The gown
at the inner right is made from
French serge with the trimming por-
tons of figured silk. There Is plated
panel at the back of the skirt that
renders It both new and smart. II
preferred, the sleeves can be made
shorter but the long ones are given
first choice.
CEPARATE blouses are among the
-, real necessities of life and no
one realizes that more fully than
the girl away from home The six
that are shown here are among the
best. They can be made of color to
match the skirt or suit or they can be
made of the white that is always so
useful or they can be made of light
weight silk Of color to harmonic with
the skirt and, at the same time in
contrast, for one Of the latest DEGREES
Is that the blouse need not match the
skirt so long as the costume idea pre-
walls.
IN the first group are shown three
plain blouses. One is closed at the
front and made with the sleeves
sewed to it at the dropping shoulder
line and another Is in kimono style
closed at the back. In the center Of
the group is shown one Of the very
new waists that give bosom effect

called are much. to be noted The
prune shades, the tan shades and
many of the new reds are also con-
spicuous. There are really wonder

Indications and again We are IN such
close communication with Paris and
Vienna that we seem to know what
they are doing day by day. According
to the very latest accounts, the rather
extraordinary figure that throws the
abdomen out, the back in and bends
the knees has become Passe in ths
world of dress and there is hope that
we look for an erect figure, properly
thrown out chest by the time cold
weather reaches US. Again We ara
informed that, while the extremists Of
Paris have been as foolish or perhaps
more foolish than those on this side Of
the sea in following the absurdities
launched by dressmakers who are
ever seeking means Of advertising
themselves, the really well dressed
women in all the capitals Of Europe
have put aside the vulgar eccentricities
and are demanding costumes suited to
their own needs, adapted to them
selves. How far such evidence Of 4
return to sanity will influence autum1
fashions it is difficult to say but GER
tain it is that no woman need make
caricature of herself in order to b
smart. True smartness means dis
tinction and distinction is best OBJ

HORSE BECOMES
FRIGHTENED AT AUTO
Mrs. Sill and Children are Thrown
From Buggy Nobody Ser
iously Hurt.

Mrs. o. E. c. Sill who, with her
family, resides a mile west of the
city, while driving to town Sun
day accompanied by her five chill
dren to attend church, came very
near having bad accident.
While on the way to town they
met an automobile standing beside
the road and when the buggy came
alon gside the auto, the driver start
ed the machine which undoubtedly
frightened the horse and 1t began
to run. The occupants Of the buggy
were thrown out, but with the ex-
ception of Mrs. Sill and one Of the
girls, no one received more than a
few minor bruises. Mrs. Sill had an
ankle badly sprained and received
some very painful bruises. while one
of the girls had her back slightly
wrenched and also sustained a few
cuts about the face. The horse that
was being driven by the twelve year
old son of Mrs. Sill, has been used
a number of years as lady's driv-
ing horse and there was no thought
by any OF the family of its becoming
frightened at an auto.
