All the varieties Of fans known among
us have been made for centuries in ia
/ pan. One notable variety .is made Of
waterproof paper, which can be dipped
in water, and which creates greater cecil
ness by evaporation, without swettiqg the
clothes The ucAsso0, or fiat FAM, is fire
qnensly made Of feathers, leaves or fine
silk. = IL iscfasaer made of rough paper
and used as 4 grain-winnow, to blow the
charcoal fires, and as dust-pan. Prob
ably it is on account OF these mental
uses that it holds the lowest grade in the
caste of fashion. sia's# n.
The Japanese gentleman-1 mean one
of the old school-who never wears a
hat, uses the fan to shield his eyes from
the sun. His head, bare from childhood.
hardly needs shade, and when it does he
spreads an umbrella With his. fan he
directs his servants, and saves talking
Within-doors the graces of the Japanese
maiden and the dignity of the wife are
enhanced by the fan. To the Japanese
actor the fan is indispensable, and he
brings down the house by his dizziness
displayed in opening or shutting it. The
japanese dancing-girl makes the fan a
very part OF herself, the most graceful
motions being performed by its help.
Those very large, highly-colored, gilded
or lowered fans, SO much admired at
fashionable wa.ering-places of late
years, at home, are exclusively in use
among the japanese singing girls, and be-
longto the dance which, in Japan, consists
in posturing, gestures and expression, and
not in active motion. These girls,
or arttstes, are public characters, and a
Japanese lady would not, by any means,
use one of their gaudy toys. To the Jug
gler the fan is a necessity, many of his
cleverest tricks, including that in which
he makes a butterfly hover up and down
the edge Of sword, being performed
with bits of paper and fan.-Appleton' 9
