Fan Irritation I'm London.

ladies' paper, lie Sport, INDUCES in
explaining to its readers how the fan
filtration is practieed in Spain. The
Andalusian custom seems to resemble
our own very much.
This is how, says the chronicler:
''rhe open fan moved from the
hand outwardly indicates that the lady
is married, and sends you away the
contrary, that she is widow; it is a
call, and is performed with more OF
less rapidity. IL the motion is vertical,
from top 10 bottom, she is neither mar
ried nor widow; If from bottom to
top the signification' is that you must
be submissive. The closed fan, held
vertically implies that you may act
freely; il open and covering the breast,
absolute discretion is commanded.
The closed fan, presented horizon
tally, signifies gallantry; presented by
tine small end, rejection or Indifference:
with one compartment unfolded,
friendship; with two compartments
unfolded, sympathy; and tnlee, love,
passion
''B1t this is not all; the fan Irritation
is further brought down to success
