Th»» effect In the stately apartmentof these dainty gowns, especially whenmingled with the brilliant uniforms otthe many army and navy men present

Mrs. Eleanor Martin was gowned inblack silk and lace, with a small hatof white maline and pink roses.
The throngrs of people that pouredthrough the doors of the hotel em-braced practically every one ever seenor hfard of in San Francisco, and agreat many who are quite unknown tofame. Ther* were as many grades ofsociety as there were modes of dress,but it iras a gathering to be proud ofand particularly under the circum-stances. The entire gamut of femininvcostuming, from evening gowns to tai-lor suits was run. but most of thosepresent wore exquisite white or pale-huf»d gowns of chiffon, lace net or silk
—an. occasional one decollete
—with big
be-p!umed hats, generally black orwhite.
The big glass door of the hotel swung to admit new arrivals from early
in the evening until after midnight. Throngs of people in gala attire surged
back and forth in the foyer, and every available room on the ground floorof the vast building was filled by theconstantly changing crowds.
The management has been wiseenough to be sparing of decorations,
and the wide spaces of the rooms,\u25a0where the white walte formed thebackground for the living picture ofthe holiday crowd were very impres-
sive. The ballroom, with its white anddull gold. Its magnificent electric chan-deliers, and the tall mirrors repeating
the scene, transported one in imagina-tion to a court function. The diningroom had been turned into a musicroom and was exquisitely decoratedwith pale pink carnations and branchesof delicate green. Under the rotundaof the palmroom punch and lemonade•were served by fair committee mem-bers from a horseshoe table decoratedwith pink "carnations. v ";.'\u25a0•-*-'*Anexcellent musical programme was
given in the dining room. Early inthe evening solos were sung by MissVirginia Pierce. Miss Camille Frankand Romeo Frick. Later selectionswere given by Mrs. Dorothy GoodselleCimm. John Carrington and Mrs.J. E. Birmingham. The Fairmontorchestra, under the leadership ofBernard Jaulus. played in thefoyer during the evening. In ad-dition there was music by theStanford Glee Club, the University ofCalifornia Glee Club, the Swedish Sing-Ing Society and the De Koven GleeClub. The entire musical programmewas under the direction of Dr. H. J.Ftewart. organist of.Trinity Church. '
In the dining-room a quieter music-loving public gathered around the mu-sical stars who gave their services forcharity. The ballroom drew the de-votees of the dance as well as thronesof others, who watched the prettysight-
It •was the occasion for reunions ofold friends and conversation went mer-rilyfrom early in the evening until farinto the night.
An'event as unique as it was splendid was the monster promenade con-cert given at the Fairmont Hotel last evening for the three charities,-^ theDoctor's Daughters, the San Francisco Polyclinic and the San FranciscoNursery for Homeless Children. It is stated that between $15,000 and $20,000
willgo to augment the funds of the three chanties as a result of the enfer-temment.

THROWN FROM CAR
| Screams attracted the attention of.people at the Chutes last might to thetrestle of .the. scenic railway, where aman was suspended by his heels ahundred feet- above the ground.
The man swayed in mid air. as hascreamed, and as a car loaded withpleasure seekers bowled over the partof the trestle from which he was sus-pended :the confusion increased.It looked for a time as .if. the man
would be hurled to his death by the mo-mentum of the cars passing over him*and the machinery of the railway washurriedly stopped.
The bottom car contained a party,one of the members of which said thatthe man was Charles Rohu of 1215Ninth avenue, who had been la theircar and bad \u25a0< tried to-crawl to anothercar coupled behind as they were dash-ing around a sharp .curve.
Rohu . lost his . balance and wasthrown from the car. His sleevecaught In the cog chain of the railway,and h© was dragged a conslderbladistance .along the trestle before hewas able to disengage himself. TvTienhe dld» so ;he was so dazed that !h»slipped through the staging support-ing the tracks.
The twisting of.his heels betweentwo of the narrow ties saved him frombeing instantly dashed to the ground.'
When the.cars stopped running ovarhim, Rohu ceased screaming and re-mained mute until a rescue partyreached him. When he was finallypulled to the trestle he was foundto be bleeding about the head. He>was hurried to the» Central emergencyhospital, where he fainted, and the sur-geons found .that he had sustained afractured skull.-
At:midnight :Itwas said that Rohuprobably would die.
