,foreword    ,enthroned on hills1 ,san  
,francisco captivates the stranger who  
sees it  from the ,bay by the vivacity  
of its landscape long before revealing  
any  of its intimate lures4 ,whether you
 approach in the early morning1 when    
gulls arc wheeling above the palette of 
tones of the ,bay1 or at night1  when   
illuminated ferryboats glide by like the
 yellow-bannered halls of  fable1 the   
buoyancy of ,san ,francisco is manifest4
    ,it increases as you pass through   
the ,ferry ,building1 the turnstile     
behind the ,golden ,gate1 whose blithe  
tower of the four clock dials is        
reminiscent of the ,giralda in ,seville4
    ,in another moment you are in the   
surge of ,market street1 the long bazaar
  and highroad of this port of all      
flags4 ,an invisible presence dances    
before your footsteps as you sense the  
animation of the street4 ,it is  the    

spirit of ,san ,francisco1 weaving its  
debonair spell4    ,here ,tetrazzini    
turns street singer and ,jan ,kubelik is
 a wandering  minstrel enchanting crowds
 at ,lotta's ,fountain under ,christmas 
eve  stars4    ,from ,dana to

,san ,francisco has  captured the hearts
 of a train of illustrious admirers4    
,rudyard ,kipling1  master of the terse1
 has tooled a brisk drypoint of the city
 in a few  strokes4 ,san ,francisco has 
only one drawback1 he writes4 ',tis hard
 to  leave4    ,cradled as a drowsy     
,spanish pueblo1 reared as a child of   
the mines1 and  fed on all the          
exhilarants of the gold-spangled days of
 the ,argonauts1  ,san ,francisco is    
like a dashing ,western beauty with the 
eyes of an  exotic ancestry4            
,bristling with contradictions1 the city
 presents the paradox of being  the most
 intensely ,american and yet the most   
cosmopolitan community on  the          
continent1 with aspects as variable as  

the medley of alien tongues  heard on   
its streets4    ,a festival of life is  
staged at this meeting place of the     
nations1  farthest outpost of ,aryan    
civilization in its westward march4     
,inez ,haynes ,irwin in her             
,californiacs sounds a warning for the  
stranger  in ,san ,francisco4    ,if you
 ever start for ,california with the    
intention of seeing anything  of the    
state1 she admonishes1 do that before   
you enter ,san ,francisco4  ,if you must
 land in ,san ,francisco first1 jump    
into a taxi1 pull down the  curtain1    
drive through the city1 breaking every  
speed law1 to ,third and  ,townsend1 sit
 in the station until a train--some     
train1 any train--  pulls out1 and go   
with it4 ,if in crossing ,market street 
you raise that  curtain as much as an   
inch1 believe me1 stranger1 it's all    
off2 you're  lost4 ,you'll never leave  
,san ,francisco4    ,this booklet aims  
to keep the curtain up4        ,inside  
the ,gate    ,if you turn a map showing 

the basin of ,san ,francisco ,bay so    
that the  ,pacific ,ocean is nearest    
your eye1 you see a peninsula thrust out
 from  the ,california coast like a     
great boot4    ,san ,francisco stretches
 for six or seven miles across the toe  
of the  boot4 ,dominated by hills1 the  
city is flanked by the ,pacific on the  
west  and by the ,bay on the north and  
east4 ,to the northwest1 joining ocean  
and bay1 is the ,golden ,gate1 the only 
gap in the coastal mountains4           
,constantinople and ,rio de ,janeiro    
have been called the only maritime      
cities that approach the natural beauty 
of situation of ,san ,francisco4  ,the  
basin of the ,bay1 into which the       
,sacramento and ,san ,joaquin rivers    
pour after watering the central garden  
valley of the state1 is an  amphitheatre
 rimmed with peaks and ridges4    ,the  
,bay spreads out below ,san ,francisco  
like an animated poster keyed in  blue  
and silver1 with ,yerba ,buena1         
,alcatraz and ,angel islands tinted     

details in the foreground4 ,across the  
gleaming water the roofs of  ,oakland1  
,berkeley and ,alameda are shingled with
 sun crystals1 and in the  distance     
,tamalpais and ,mt4 ,diablo bulk against
 a curtain of azure4    ,suavities of   
outline accent the horizons of ,san     
,francisco1 where the  skyscrapers take 
on fantasy as they pile up on hills and 
recede into  vales4 ,most visitors cross
 the ,bay and arrive at the city by way 
of the  ,ferry ,building1 the gala tower
 of which has a clock at each point of  
the  compass4 ,travelers also arrive at 
the ,third and ,townsend street railroad
  station1 or1 if they come by sea      
through the ,golden ,gate1 at the piers 
along the waterfront4    ,market street 
stretches diagonally across the         
peninsula from the ,ferry  ,building to 
the base of ,twin ,peaks1 the urban     
mountain which has been  tunneled to get
 rapid transit to residence parks4      
,twin ,peaks is practically the         
geographical center of ,san ,francisco4 

,by  keeping this in mind visitors will 
avoid the mistake of thinking that  the 
end of ,market street is the western    
boundary of the city4    ,from the sweep
 of ,market street radiate practically  
all of the city's  important arteries4  
,a resplendent thoroughfare by day1 #ajj
 feet wide1  ,market street takes on a  
sorcery all its own at night1 when the  
electroliers designed by ,d',arcy ,ryan1
 light wizard of the ,panama-,pacific   
,exposition1 flood it with radiance4    
,market street is then the most         
dazzling of boulevards1 every aspect of 
it in motion--crowds1 taxis1  cars and  
the colors of advertising displays4     
,the junction formed by ,market1        
,kearny1 ,geary and ,third streets is   
the  heart of downtown ,san ,francisco4 
,it is the newspaper center1 and close  
by are big and little hotels1 shops1    
restaurants and sidewalk flower  stalls4
 ,here traffic eddies around ,lotta's   
,fountain1 presented to the  city by    
,lotta ,crabtree1 stage idol of the     

yesteryears4 ,beside it is one  of the  
bronze bells and iron standards that    
mark ,el ,camino ,real--the  ,king's    
,highway--which the padres trod in      
making their rounds of the  early       
,california missions4 ,lotta's ,fountain
 has two tablets4 ,one has its  donor's 
name1 and the other is inscribed to     
,luisa ,tetrazzini1 whose  soprano was  
first acclaimed to the world from ,san  
,francisco1 and who  crossed the        
continent to sing ,christmas carols to  
the people on this  street corner in    
#aiaj4 ,one block east1 ,montgomery     
street leads into the  financial center 
of the ,pacific4 ,to the west are ,union
 ,square and its  shaft1 commemorating  
,dewey's victory at ,manila ,bay1 and   
,powell street1  with its cafe and      
theatre crowds4    ,a short walk out    
,market street takes you to the ,civic  
,center1 with the  ,city ,hall1         
,library1 ,auditorium and ,state        
,building grouped about a formal        
garden4 ,the ,war ,memorial1 with its   

,opera ,house and ,american ,legion     
,museum1 will face the ,city ,hall on   
,van ,ness avenue4    ,fronting the     
,pacific1 ,san ,francisco1 which covers 
a trifle over #db  square miles of      
territory1 has an ocean beach extending 
for three miles  on its western boundary
 and overlooked by automobile highways4 
,street  cars1 starting at the ,ferry   
,building1 arrive at the beach after    
traversing residence districts and      
scenic routes1 unfolding views of       
hills1 forests1 parks1 forts1           
lighthouses and seals on rocks lashed by
  surf4    ,between the ,ferry ,building
 and the ocean front--what a sweeping   
canvas  it would take to suggest all    
this even in broad outline6    ,the     
ships1 towers1 domes1 theatres which    
,wordsworth saw from  ,westminster      
,bridge in ,london are here1 and so are 
the added motifs of  ,san ,francisco's  
own song of seduction4        ,sea      
,glamour    ,ever has the glamour of the
 sea enveloped ,san ,francisco4 ,from   

the sea  came ,don ,juan ,manuel ,ayala 
in the ,san ,carlos in #agge1 charting a
 course  through the fog and opening the
 ,golden ,gate4 ,from the1 sea also came
 the  ,argonauts1 transforming the      
somnolent ,yerba ,buena into the city1  
of ,san  ,francisco4 ,and from the sea1 
up to the time of the railroad1 came    
practically all of the goods with which 
the merchants of the city did  business4
 ,today with the sea ebbs and flows the 
tide of wealth that  makes ,san         
,francisco the key port of the ,pacific4
 ,the banks and exchanges  of           
,california and ,montgomery streets1 the
 foreign trade and insurance  offices of
 ,pine street1 the downtown             
skyscrapers--all reflect in some  way   
,san ,francisco's debt to the sea4      
,from the sea also comes health4 ,the   
breezes that blow from it and the  fogs 
that drift down over the ridges combine 
to give ,san ,francisco a  paradoxical  
climate--winters as warm as those in the
 south and summers  that are matchless  

for their exhilarating coolness4    ,san
 ,francisco shows a higher per capita   
industrial output than any other        
,american city of its class because of  
its ideal working conditions4    ,a city
 conscious of its obligation to the sea1
 ,san ,francisco has always  been       
interested in its waterfront1 which     
perpetuates ,spanish origins in  its    
expressive name of ,embarcadero--the    
embarking place4    ,the skyline of the 
city is no longer stenciled by the      
towering masts of  sailing ships        
discharging or loading cargo1 or lying  
in the stream or in  ,richardson's ,bay 
awaiting charters1 as in the days when  
wheat was king  of ,california's great  
central valley4 ,the virility of the    
waterfront of  ,san ,francisco1 however1
 is as persistent as in the age that    
provided  ,frank ,norris with his epic  
themes4    ,the masts and yards of older
 outline have given place to stubby     
cargo  booms of liners1 freighters and  
tramps of multiple flags and            

nationalities4 ,along the ,embarcadero  
they disgorge upon massive concrete     
piers silk1 rice and tea from the       
,orient1 coffee from ,central ,america1 
hemp and tobacco from the ,philippines1 
and all manner of odds and ends  from   
everywhere4 ,on the piers commodities   
are piled in apparent  confusion1 yet   
each lot moves with precision in or out 
of yawning holds  at the shrill blast of
 the foreman's hoist whistle4    ,along 
the ,embarcadero you may see craft of   
every rig under the sun from  a ,chinese
 junk to a ,transpacific passenger      
liner4 ,human types are even  more      
contrasting1 knots of ,chinese and      
,singalese strolling behind ,south  ,sea
 ,islanders1 ,portuguese or ,cornishmen1
 whose speech recalls snatches  you may 
have heard on the ,east ,india ,dock    
,road in ,london4    ,jack ,london heard
 and answered the call of the sea from  
the ,embarcadero  of ,san ,francisco1   
and ,stevenson found the atmosphere of  
his ,wreckers  there4    ,sailors--trade

 winds--ships--what lurking thoughts of 
adventure1  realized or denied1 do they 
not summon in all of us8                
,historic ,background    ,in #aegi1     
before ,jamestown1 the ,massachusetts   
,bay ,colony1 or ,new  ,amsterdam were  
settled1 ,sir ,francis ,drake1 ,british 
explorer1 careened  and repaired his    
ship1 the ,golden ,hind1 on the shore of
 what is now  ,drake's ,bay1 an         
indentation on the ,california coast    
just north of the  ,golden ,gate4 ,this 
was nearly two hundred years before     
,padre ,junipero  ,serra led his band of
 zealots and soldiers up out of ,new    
,spain into ,alta  ,california4    ,at  
,drake's ,bay the chaplain of the       
,golden ,hind held the first religious  
service in the ,english language on the 
,american continent--a service  that is 
commemorated by a ,celtic cross set up  
on a hill in ,golden ,gate  ,park1 ,san 
,francisco4 ,though close by1 ,drake did
 not find the ,bay and  site of ,san    
,francisco4    ,it was not until        

,october #ca1 #agfi1 that the peninsula 
and ,bay of ,san  ,francisco were       
discovered by an expedition headed by   
,don ,gaspar de  ,portola1 ,governor of 
,baja or ,lower ,california4 ,this      
expedition had set  out overland from   
,san ,diego for the purpose of locating 
,monterey ,bay1  discovered in #afjc by 
,sebastian ,vizcaino1 ,portuguese       
navigator in the  service of ,spain4    
,six years after the ,portola discovery1
 ,don ,juan ,manuel ,ayala sailed the   
first vessel1 the ,san ,carlos1 through 
the ,golden ,gate4 ,the following  year 
the first permanent settlement by white 
men on the site of ,san  ,francisco was 
made when ,colonel ,juan ,bautista de   
,anza established a  military post at   
the ,presidio beside the ,golden ,gate4 
,in this same  month1 ,july1 #aggf1 the 
,liberty ,bell was ringing in           
,philadelphia4 ,but  there was no       
thought then that the embattled farmers 
of the ,atlantic  coast should inherit  
before many years this potential        

,spanish settlement  on the ,pacific4   
,in ,october1 #aggf1 ,padre ,junipero   
,serra founded the ,mission ,dolores1   
the  third of the chain of missions     
extending from ,san ,diego4             
,subsequently a  settlement was made at 
,yerba ,buena ,cove1 and there was      
established the  pueblo of ,yerba ,buena
 which has grown into the city of ,san  
,francisco4    ,things moved slowly in  
those days--so slowly that in #aghd the 
pueblo  had but fourteen houses and     
sixty inhabitants4    ,let us turn back 
the hands of the clock to the time when 
the pueblo  straggled over the sand     
hills which faced the water of the bay  
of ,saint  ,francis1 under the shadow of
 ,loma ,alta4 ,what do we see8 ,where   
today the  ,merchants ,exchange         
,building1 central office of ,san       
,francisco's  commercial life1 heaves   
its bulk into the air was the cabin of  
,jacob  ,leese1 trader4 ,houses were few
 and far between1 and business was      
something to be done when there was     

nothing else to do4    ,from the ,plaza1
 then but a block or so from the        
waterside1 two main  roads trailed off  
through the sand dunes4 ,one went to the
 southwest1  winding among the hills    
toward the ,mission ,dolores1 and the   
other in a  generally northwesterly     
direction out past the lagoon of the    
washerwomen  to the ,presidio of ,san   
,francisco1 the seat of the military    
government4  ,sleepy1 content to bask in
 the sunshine that flooded its sand     
hills and  kept back the banks of fog   
that loomed above the higher eminence's 
separating the cove from the ocean1     
,yerba ,buena dreamed1 not of the       
future in store for it1 but of the next 
fiesta1 of the coming barbecue  at      
,miguel ,noe's rancho1 or of the        
projected cock fight on ,sunday at the  
,mission ,dolores4    ,to this port came
 occasionally a ,yankee whale ship for  
fresh water1 or  some enterprising      
trader with shawls and combs and        
trinkets for the  women1 to barter for  

hides and tallow with the dons from the 
south and  the great interior ranchos4  
,up the coast some ,russians had        
established a settlement1 much to the   
disquiet of the authorities1 who looked 
upon this as an encroachment of         
barbarians menacing ,spanish power4     
,rezanov1 plenipotentiary of the ,czar1 
was a man of charming personality1      
however1 and was able to lull the       
suspicions of the indolent ,spanish     
officials and lay his plans for a  coup 
that never took place4 ,from afar       
,britain looked with interest upon  this
 strip of coast with its matchless      
harbor1 and regretted that ,drake  had  
not discovered it when he wintered his  
ship close by in #aegi4 ,thus  ,yerba   
,buena sprawled and dreamed in the      
sunshine1 unmindful of the web  of      
destiny being woven about it4           
,followed then the war with ,mexico and 
the occupation by the officers and  men 
of the ,united ,states sloop-of-war     
,portsmouth under ,commodore ,john      

,montgomery1 who broke the ,american    
flag to the breeze in the ,plaza4    ,in
 #ahdh gold was discovered by ,james ,w4
 ,marshall in the tail-race of  ,general
 ,sutter's mill1 ,el ,dorado county1 and
 almost overnight ,san  ,francisco was  
transformed from a hamlet into a pulsing
 city1 overcome  with the rush of       
newcomers1 the population in two years  
growing almost  to twenty thousand4     
,california became a state in #ahej     
without ever having gone through a      
probationary period as a territory4 ,in 
the late sixties the great  ,comstock   
,lode1 in ,nevada1 poured a flood of    
wealth into ,san ,francisco1  and in    
#ahfi1 one hundred years after the first
 white man looked upon ,san  ,francisco 
,bay1 came the railroad1 bringing an    
increasing influx of  people from the   
,east4 ,the opening of the markets of   
,china and ,japan led  to the           
establishment of a trade that has made  
,san ,francisco the focal  port of the  
,west4    ,these were the beginnings of 

,san ,francisco4 ,burned to the ground  
three  times in the early years of its  
existence1 the city displayed an        
invincible fortitude and each time      
capitalized disaster to build anew  with
 larger faith in its destiny4 ,when     
again1 in #aijf1 earthquake and  fire   
devastated the city its phoenix spirit  
came to life4 ,the ,argonauts  lived    
once more1 magnificent in their         
resolution4 ,the renaissance was a      
prodigy that made onlookers exclamatory4
 ,jules ,jusserand1 ,ambassador of      
,france to the ,united ,states1 phrased 
the wonder of it in majestic prose3     
,the page written by the inhabitants of 
,san ,francisco on the moving  ashes of 
their city is not one that any wind will
 ever blow away4        ,survivals of   
the ,past    ,stand at the ,ferry       
,building1 looking up ,market street1   
and imagine the  beginning of the city  
that spreads before you4 ,first of all  
you must  realize that this point of    
observation would1 in those days1 have  

been  offshore1 on the shallow water of 
,yerba ,buena ,cove4 ,to the right is   
the  scarp of ,telegraph ,hill1 from    
which ships coming through the ,golden  
,gate  were sighted1 and to the left is 
the lesser ,rincon ,hill1 which is being
  cut away to provide a light           
manufacturing district4 ,these marked   
the  headlands of the cove1 and the     
waterfront curved inland as far as what 
is now the site of the ,donahue monument
 to mechanics at ,market and  ,battery  
streets4    ,seeking survivals of the   
past1 you must realize that ,san        
,francisco is  one of the most modern of
 the comparatively old ,american cities4
 ,most of  the area that saw its        
beginning and early history has been    
wiped clean  by fire4 ,the ,san         
,francisco of today may be said to date 
from its  rebuilding following #aijf1   
since which time something like a half  
billion dollars' worth of new           
construction has been done4 ,yet        
something  of early ,san ,francisco     

remains1 either beyond the reach of the 
devastation of eighteen years ago or in 
miraculous islands of safety in  that   
sea of fire4    ,the ,presidio1 beside  
the ,golden ,gate1 is several miles from
 the area  that burned4 ,it is one of   
the largest military posts in the       
,united  ,states1 #a1ejj acres of       
forested hills between the inner and the
 outer  harbor4 ,the adobe building in  
which ,rezanov1 envoy of the ,czar1     
wooed  ,senorita ,arguello1 daughter of 
the commandante of the ,presidio1 is    
preserved in the center of the          
reservation4 ,you can read about this   
sad  romance in ,bret ,harte or in      
,gertrude ,atherton4    ,over the hills 
southward from the ,presidio1 in a      
sheltered valley1 where  it was spared  
from the fire1 stands ,mission ,dolores1
 with its ancient  churchyard and       
headstones4 ,the old mission1 whose     
adobe walls are four  feet thick1 stands
 beside a new church of ,spanish        
architecture4 ,near the  entrance to

the facade of the  old building4 ,the   
tomb of ,don ,luis ,arguello1 first     
governor of  ,california under the      
,mexican regime1 is in the churchyard4  
,inscriptions  on many of the stones in 
this burial place are footnotes to ,san 
,francisco's early history4    ,within  
the burned area of #aijf1 above the     
original waterfront of the  days when   
the water came up to ,montgomery street1
 there are several  blocks of buildings 
which were spared by freaks of fate4    
,these buildings  stand near the        
original ,plaza now called ,portsmouth

,montgomery landed from the ,portsmouth 
and raised the  ,stars and ,stripes on  
,july #d1 #ahdf1 almost the seventieth  
anniversary of  the establishment of the
 ,spanish ,presidio4 ,the site of his   

landing1 at  what is now ,clay and      
,montgomery streets1 has been marked by 
one of the  bronze tablets on which the 
order of the ,native ,sons of the       
,golden ,west  has graven many of the   
historic episodes of ,california4 ,not  
far away1 on  the south side of         
,sacramento street1 between ,davis and  
,front1 there is a  brick building      
marked by a tablet as the site of ,fort 
,gunnybags1  headquarters of the

hanged ,casey and  ,cora1 two enemies of

 ,plaza centered the life of the pueblo 
and of the early city  of ,san          
,francisco1 but now on three sides of it
 is ,chinatown1 the  fashionable homes  
having long been gone from this section4
    ,in ,golden ,gate ,park1 beside a   
lake reflecting their outline1 stand    
marble columns that once flanked a      
doorway on ,nob ,hill1 which rises      
above the ,oriental quarter4 ,this relic
 has been named ,portal of the  ,past4  
,it symbolizes the old ,san ,francisco  
that is gone save for a few  traces1 for
 this is1 after all1 a new city4    ,it 
is in the ,san ,francisco of today1 with
 a historic background that  survives in
 spirit instead of in material          
reminders1 that interest is  dominant4  
,cafes and ,bright ,lights    ,there's a
 diabolical mystery to your ,san        
,francisco6 ,enrico ,caruso once        

exclaimed4 ,why isn't everyone fat in   
this city of such excellent  cafes8     
,the ,argonauts who came to ,california 
in quest of the ,golden ,fleece were    
hearty1 eaters1 and they laid the       
foundation for a tradition of abundant  
table fare that has been handed down    
since the days of the bonanza  kings4   
,good things to eat have been provided  
by successive generations of chefs  who 
have achieved virtuosity4 ,by and large1
 the moderation of prices has  been a   
matter of bewilderment to visitors4 ,the
 cheapness of savory food  was one of   
the outstanding traits of ,san          
,francisco1 in the opinion of  the army 
of newspaper correspondents attracted to
 the ,democratic  national convention in

author and  globetrotter1 goes into     
raptures over the cooking he discovered 
in a  ,pine street restaurant4 ,read his
 ,round the ,world in ,any ,number of   
,days  and satisfy yourself that a      
sophisticated observer from ,london town

 can  become as ecstatic as a ,gaul in  
the presence of soup a l'oignon4        
,there's  a diversity to the restaurants
 of ,san ,francisco that makes it       
difficult  to single out any one type4  
,french and ,italian restaurants appear 
to  predominate1 but the number of other
 places1 including ,spanish1 ,greek1    
,mexican1 ,hungarian and ,slavonic--not 
to mention ,chinese--makes the  array a 
long and polyglot one4 ,in the vicinity 
of ,broadway1 ,kearny and  ,columbus    
avenue1 streets that penetrate the heart
 of the ,latin ,quarter1  and along     
upper ,montgomery street1 there are     
sufficient individual cafes  to keep any
 explorer after atmospheric epicurism   
busy for many days4  ,neither ,soho nor 
,montmartre is plagiarized in these     
places4 ,they are  foreign in tone1 but 
they belong very much to ,san           
,francisco4 ,what  affectation and      
posturing there may be in ,greenwich    
,village are not in  evidence here4 ,joy
 was at times given boisterous          

expression in the days  before the great
 drought came upon the land4 ,but the   
eighteenth  amendment and its           
restrictions have not deprived any of   
these places of  their inherent         
buoyancy1 even though they may not be as
 noisy as ,coffee  ,dan's4    ,table    
d'hote courses are customary not only in
 the ,french restaurants  but in most of
 the ,italian as well4 ,some of these   
places combine or  interchange the menus
 of ,french1 ,italian and ,swiss chefs1 
a piquant  entree1 or shellfish served  
bordelaise1 being followed by a paste   
like  lasagne1 spaghetti or tagliarini1 
or by those geometric ravioli whose     
delights are in inverse ratio to their  
square4 ,if you want fare of the  realm 
the dining rooms and grills of the      
hotels are at your service1 as  are the 
restaurants along ,market1 ,powell and  
other streets4 ,the  cafeteria has come 
northward and the tea-room and the      
,southern inn  westward by way of ,new  
,york4 ,the typical ,san ,francisco     

restaurant1  however1 is an institution 
as firmly imbedded in the life of the   
people  as is ,mile ,rock in the current
 of the ,golden ,gate4    ,the sea      
glamour is upon the dining places of    
,san ,francisco4 ,any  impression of    
them would be lacking without some      
reference to sea food4  ,every variety  
of fish is sold fresh in the markets    
daily4 ,a number of  so-called fish     
grottos specialize in fish caught the   
same morning1  keeping them swimming in 
illuminated window-tanks4 ,crabs1       
shrimps1  oysters1 clams and other      
varieties of shell fish1 including the  
abalone  with its rainbow-tinted shell1 
together with sanddabs1 pompano and rex 
sole1 serve to remind one that ,san     
,francisco is washed on three sides by  
tides of the ,pacific4    ,perhaps when 
,bret ,harte referred to ,san ,francisco
 as serene1  indifferent of ,fate1 he   
was thinking of ,sidney ,smith's        
declaration3    ,fate cannot harm me--,i
 have dined today6    ,when you think of

 eating in ,san ,francisco you think of 
bright lights and  dancing4 ,in addition
 to the hotels1 you may dance at        
innumerable cafes4  ,influences of ,old 
,spain dowered ,san ,francisco with an  
infatuation for  the fiesta4 ,the city  
has always been dance-minded4 ,art      
,hickman1 virtuoso  of jazz             
orchestration1 was called to ,new ,york 
to have the ,follies on ,the  ,roof     
dance to the exuberant strains he had   
evolved in ,san ,francisco4  ,patterns  
of new dance forms were derived by      
,pavlowa from the wild  rhythms she     
found on the old ,barbary ,coast4       
,the ,palais ,royal1 ,marquard's1       
,tait's-at-the-,beach1 the ,cliff       
,house--but  where is one to stop when  
he starts to name the ,san ,francisco   
cafes that  attract dance crowds8 ,let's
 leave it to the classified lists in the
  telephone directories4        ,hotels 
,wives and daughters of the men who     
awoke to find themselves millionaires   
in the days of the ,argonauts came to   

,san ,francisco to explore the social   
thrills of the newly rich4 ,it is easy  
to understand why the hotels  became the
 scenes of elaborate gaiety unmatched   
even in ,new ,york1 ,boston  or the     
older communities4 ,haunts of the       
battling giants of the ,comstock  mines 
and the railroad magnates1 the old      
,palace1 ,occidental1 ,lick and         
,baldwin hotels reflected their         
effulgent period4    ,the ,palace1 built
 by ,william ,c4 ,ralston1 has survived 
as a landmark of  ,san ,francisco4 ,like
 ,shepheard's in ,cairo1 the ,palace is 
one of the  gathering places of the     
traveling world4 ,the present hotel1 at 
,market  and ,new ,montgomery streets1  
occupies the site of the old ,palace1   
whose  outer walls remained standing    
after the fire of #aijf and had to be   
blasted with dynamite to make room for  
the new structure--a tribute to  the    
original builders4 ,the ,palace retains 
the outstanding aspects of the  old     
hotel1 with added modern appointments4  

,the ,palm ,court1 which has  decorative
 columns and a glass-domed roof1 is the 
social center of the  hotel4 ,it is also
 the rendezvous of the political and    
business stalwarts  of the city1 the    
,palace being a clearing-house for      
diversified  activities4 ,the ,rose     
,bowl1 which has ,maxfield ,parrish's   
,pied ,piper of  ,hamelin1 attracts the 
set that dances when it dines4          
,perched like a ,parthenon on ,nob

view of the ,bay and the ,contra ,costa 
hills4 ,its ,venetian ,room1 its        
,terrace and its ,ball ,room are among  
the  features of the ,fairmont in       
keeping with its individual environment4
  ,expansive lawns frame the            
,renaissance architecture of the        
building1  which seen from the ,bay     
looks like a citadel inside the ,golden 
,gate4    ,the ,hotel ,st4 ,francis1    
fronting ,union ,square on ,powell      
street1 has a  thousand rooms and is one

 of the distinctive institutions of ,san
  ,francisco4 ,the fire of #aijf damaged
 the building but left its steel  frame 
and granite sheath intact1 and a banquet
 of business men was held  there to     
celebrate the beginning of              
reconstruction4 ,when you think of  the 
,st4 ,francis you think of beautiful    
wall arrangements4 ,its ,garden  ,court 
and ,fable ,room1 where ,la ,fontaine's 
diverting inventions serve as  the      
motifs for murals1 attract the younger  
set for dancing and tea4 ,the  ,tapestry
 ,room is a distinguished example of    
decorative treatment4    ,san ,francisco
 is the greatest hotel city in the world
 in proportion to  population4 ,these   
pages necessarily skim only the surface 
of this aspect  of the city's life4     
,there are some #b1jjj hotels1 records  
of the  ,hospitality ,bureau of the     
,chamber of ,commerce show1 each having 
rates  scaled to meet the guests to whom
 it caters4 ,representatives of the     
,hospitality ,bureau copy the names of  

arrivals at the hotels from the         
registers4 ,these names are classified  
according to interests and given  to a  
,hospitality ,committee made up of      
business men who personally greet       
arrivals1 bring them to the clubs1 and  
dispense other courtesies4        ,shops
    ,it was ,o4 ,henry1 caliph of       
phrases1 who called ,san ,francisco the 
,bagdad  of the ,west4 ,in doing so he  
must have had in mind its profusion of  
shops  which stretch through the city   
like an endless bazaar4    ,midweek     
shopping crowds in ,san ,francisco are  
comparable to ,saturday  afternoon      
crowds in other ,american cities4 ,this 
fact has been commented  upon frequently
 by merchandising specialists1 and it   
has significance4    ,street population 
spells buying power1 and ,san ,francisco
 has larger  shopping crowds every day  
of the year than any other city west of 
,new  ,york4 ,every day but ,sunday is a
 shopping day4    ,constant shopping by 
,san ,francisco women gives stimulus to 

the city's  retailers to comb world     
markets for the newest and most         
attractive  offerings4 ,buyers are sent 
by the larger establishments not only to
  ,paris and other style centers1 but to
 all of the larger international  trade 
fairs4 ,stocks in the shops reflect the 
enterprise of the  retailers1 who not   
only display the latest modes1 but      
frequently create  them4    ,the        
downtown shopping district spreads from 
,market to all the streets  that radiate
 from it1 from ,kearny westward1 well   
above ,powell4 ,market  street itself is
 a continuous stretch of display        
windows4 ,grant avenue1  ,stockton1     
,powell1 ,o',farrell1 ,geary1 ,post and 
,sutter streets are lined  with         
department stores and intimate shops4   
,the ,richmond1 ,mission1 ,sunset and   
other out lying districts have their    
own sub-centers1 each crowded six days  
in the week with shoppers4  ,otherwise  
the downtown streets would be congested4
    ,flower stands splash the street    

corners with color in the downtown      
shopping district1 and the wares glow in
 the show windows like exotic  blooms   
under glass4    ,san ,francisco shows a 
market as complete and original in      
styles as any  city in the country4 ,the
 excessive seasonal changes demanded in 
the ,east  are not needed here4 ,san    
,francisco is essentially an out-of-door
 city1  with three hundred odd days of  
clement weather1 made for the display of
  light raiment1 whether it be organdie 
dresses1 sports togs or afternoon       
frocks4 ,women of the city insist on    
being modish1 however1 so they wear     
furs with the airiest of apparel on the 
warmest days1 contradictory but         
vivacious apparitions4 ,even the        
,chinese girls ape their ,western       
sisters  and appear in brocaded         
mandarins with fur neck pieces4    ,the 
dash of ,san ,francisco women on the    
street1 as well as in the hotels  and   
cafes1 is not a legend4 ,you may read   
about it in ,hergesheimer's  iridescent 

detail1 but seeing is believing4    ,the
 art shops and the book shops of ,san   
,francisco evoke the admiration  of     
every visitor4 ,the art shops1 on ,post1
 ,sutter and adjacent streets1  close to
 ,union ,square1 with their own         
galleries of paintings1 bronzes  and    
marbles1 have showrooms that are more   
like museums than commercial            
establishments4 ,the book shops are in  
this same neighborhood4 ,they are  well 
worth visiting1 several of the dealers  
being publishers of the  works of       
,california authors4        ,chinatown  
and ,foreign ,colonies    ,from its     
beginning as a ,spanish trading post to 
the present time there  has always been 
something essentially foreign about ,san
 ,francisco4  ,always there have been   
foreign elements1 with well-marked      
colonies1  districts or haunts4    ,to  
visitors ,chinatown appears to exercise 
the greatest appeal among the  foreign  
colonies4 ,the ,latin ,quarter1 the     
,spanish and ,mexican districts  out    

toward the end of ,powell street at the 
,bay1 the ,japanese streets  east of    
,fillmore1 and the ,greek settlement    
centering around ,third and  ,folsom are
 all1 however1 highly expressive of     
their habitants4    ,with its           
pagoda-like roofs1 its bazaars1 its     
restaurants of amazing  orchestration   
and stranger ,east-,west decoration1 it 
is easy to4  understand why ,chinatown  
sways the imagination of wayfarers in   
,san  ,francisco4 ,every street and     
alley in it is obviously exotic4 ,life  
appears here like a festival1 and both  
the eye and the ear are beguiled  by    
fantastic nuances4    ,silks1 ivories1  
porcelains and bronzes peer from the    
shop windows at  hesitant purchasers    
like the articles of virtu flung before 
the  bewildered gaze of readers by      
,balzac in his ,wild ,ass's ,skin4      
,you are diverted by the bizarre on all 
sides1 ,grant avenue1 the main  artery  
of ,chinatown1 stretching before you in 
a many-hued arabesque of  shop fronts1  

no two quite alike in tone or in the    
stuff they have to  sell4    ,the shops 
of the jewelers1 who perform miracles of
 craftsmanship in gold  fliagree and in 
jade1 are especially interesting1 the   
sensitive-fingered  artisans working at 
benches set in the windows in full view 
of  passersby4 ,the meat and fish       
stalls1 the apothecaries1 the cobblers  
who  work on the sidewalks1 the lily and
 the bird vendors1 the telephone        
exchange where ,chinese girls operate   
the switchboard1 the headquarters  of   
the ,six ,companies1 the ,joss ,house   
and the ,chinese theatre1 spilled  over 
into the ,latin ,quarter1 are among the 
sights much written about by            
globe-trotting notetakers in the        
quarter4 ,organized sightseeing tours   
may be made through ,chinatown with     
licensed guides1 but visitors can       
wander securely about at will4 ,it is no
 longer the subterranean  ,chinatown of 
opium-scented years1 but it is still the
 most interesting  foreign quarter in   

,america4 ,charles ,dana ,gibson called 
it a bit of  ,hongkong and ,canton      
caught in a ,western frame4    ,by      
continuing out ,grant avenue to         
,columbus avenue the stroller visiting  
,chinatown reaches the street that      
places him in the heart of the ,latin   
,quarter1 its ,italian and ,french      
restaurants1 and its manners and customs
  that make it an epitome of ,naples and
 ,rome4    ,in the ,greek settlement in 
the vicinity of ,third and ,folsom      
streets you  will see narghile water    
pipes displayed in the windows alongside
 ,russian  brasses and ,byzantine ware4

 the  honey-sweets of the ,grecian      
archipelago you can get them here4      
,hills and ,vistas    ,what city built  
on hills has not been exalted in song   
and legend8 ,san  ,francisco1 like      
,athens1 ,jerusalem1 ,rome and ,naples1 
has the spell that  comes from setting  
one's house on a high place4 ,those who 
can look out  over the world are those  

who dominate it4    ,history shows that 
every three hundred years a great city  
arises at some  very necessary and      
strategic point on the international    
highway4 ,such an  inevitable world city
 is ,san ,francisco4 ,whether it is the 
ragged slope  of ,telegraph ,hill1 the  
heights of ,twin ,peaks1 the rolling    
green-brown  softness of the ,potrero   
bluffs1 or the contours of any of the   
other high  places that confront the    
visitor approaching from the ,bay1 the  
hills of  ,san ,francisco arrest the eye
 and intrigue the imagination4    ,to   
the visitor who would comprehend almost 
at a glance the cycloramic  setting of

access to half a dozen  peaks4 ,there   
are good automobile roads to all of     
them4    ,let him for a start go to ,nob
 ,hill1 crossed by ,california street1  
where  the ,fairmont ,hotel1 the        
,pacific ,union ,club1 ,grace ,cathedral
 and many  distinctive residences and   
apartments will engage his attention    

when it  is not occupied with the       
shipping in the harbor1 ,goat and       
,alcatraz  islands1 and the animated    
perspectives inside the ,golden ,gate4  
,russian ,hill1 of which ,nob ,hill is a
 southward shoulder1 is the habitat  of 
many of the writer and painter folk of  
,san ,francisco4 ,it affords  superb    
panoramas of the city and bay4 ,so does 
,telegraph ,hill1 whose  sides have been
 scarred to provide rock for the sea    
wall along which the  modern argosies of
 commerce discharge their cargoes4      
,views northwesterly  from these        
hilltops suggest the ,bay of ,naples4   
,the most comprehensive close-up of the 
city is probably obtained from  the     
crest of ,buena ,vista ,park1 which is  
not the highest of the fourteen         
good-sized hills in ,san ,francisco but 
the one from which the most             
unobstructed views are to be obtained4

,francisco who enjoy walking will find1 
rambling over this height  most

view4 ,through a tunnel-like alley of   
shrubbery the  towers of ,st4 ,ignatius1
 with crosses pointing to the sky1 loom 
like  spires from one of the cathedral  
towns of ,france4 ,as you swing 'round  
you obtain glimpses from different      
angles of the skyscrapers of ,san       
,francisco1 with every now and then a   
stretch of glistening water4 ,from  the 
summit of ,buena ,vista you see1 on     
three sides1 expanses of ocean and  bay4

,merced in its setting of  bluegreen    
eucalyptus and its surrounding waves of 
sand1 ribboned with  roads extending to 
the ocean beach4 ,beyond is the emerald 
stretch of  ,golden ,gate ,park1 with   
buildings in demi-outline through the   
changing  tones of foliage4 ,above and

through  one of the city's restricted   
residence sections4 ,on the summit of

spread  out below you as multicolored as
 a rug of ,kermanshah4 ,no other city in
  the two ,americas1 not excepting      
,quebec or ,rio de ,janeiro1 so         
overwhelms  the beholder with its

 in patterns of distracting loveliness1
