ARTISTIC FANS. Five Hundred Dollars for a PerIshabIe
 Baubie.

Artistic fan making was among the indus tries that perisned in the revolutionary up- heaval. and the Directory and Empire fans, of mere pretensions than the humble squibs and prints, are ugly and in bad taste; but as the world fell into something like it's old way of living, the demand for costly toys grew up again, and fan making revived with many kindred industries. The old taste and the old skill were still to be found in French brains and French fingers; Paris fans soon regained their old supremacy, and in Paris alone, says writer in the Woman's World are fans now made on which sl1ills, and art, and time to the value of e100, have been ex- pended. The exhibition at South Kensing- ton IS years ago gave great impetus to the English fan trade, and such a one as the 18th century Italian Imitation Japanese (2226) could ba reproduced by the trade, or the mount painted by any art amateur, and nothing need be mora charming in the hand of graceful woman. But we have not yet reached the French cost of e100. Let us congratulate ourselves this; wasteful enough either of money or of art to squander fine painting on 8 parchment i'll designed to set forth it's beauties, and that must be marr- at the first folding, and ruined in few times of using. A hundred pounds for 8 fan! Not TOT an nOlQ ran or llSIOrlc or arIlStlc 1nteT- est; not for @ relic to be preserved, and to show new generations something of how their forefathers lived; but e100 for a mod ern fan to be carried, soiled and ruined. Surely, of all yanities this is the vainest; of all luxurious waste the most wanton. The art of the painter is not encouraged but de- graded, and no one and no art is really ben eftted by the extravaganza: look at it how we may, there is no plea to be raised for this. hundred pounds! What education 1t might bring to untaughS aspiring talent what pleasure to a hundred fanless, preety girls! To how many who are dying its price would give the breath of fresh air the glowing fire they need no screen to shade their faces from!
