...nearly 2 in. a year, grinding the two faces of the great crack in the earth's surface layers until something has to give and let the faces slip into realignment. The crumbling rock where the slip starts is the epicenter of an earthquake of the kind that often jiggles San Francisco, and once (in 1906) touched off a fire that nearly destroyed all of it except Hotaling's Liquor Warehouse on Jackson St.* and a few other buildings...

Although she often joked about her large mouth ("Do put thy hand up when thee smiles." her mother had warned), she had a refined beauty plus forthright personal charm, and dressed, as she preached, with simple elegance. She was first married to Frank D. Chase, a hotel manager and the father of her only child, Actress and Author Ilka Chase. This marriage ended in divorce, and she later married Engineer Richard Newton, who died...
