Miss McFltmsey last night as she gaze1 al
her Augustus in a Murray Hill ara wing
room Dehiut an enormous fan: the opsa-
ing OF the fan covering the breast signifies,

imposes immediate silence. The woman
that fans herself upwards Is a tyrant from
whom you must guard yourself. Tanning
downwards means that the person is an ua-
married lady. 1.-THE fan reaches the breast
and taps IL lightly, IT is an Invitation TO
counting. The fan presented by the little
end implies indifferencs, but three compart-
ments opened say: Il love you.' Two com-
partments opened mean lively sympathy;
one signifies only friendship" Augustus
