nothing on his stomach, and was slowly

was a settled look of anguish on his face.
The nurse picked him up from the silk
and laces of his costly crib and found just

workman called Chi-ki-long was renowned

he painted with gods, extraordinary birds

The fan was no less important in japan.
where it is used as In China; both Chinese
and Japanese soldiers handle the fan under
the fire of the enemy; it is on the fan that
students take their notes; it is by waving
the fan that people salute each other in

masters crack the knuckies of disobedient
scholars; the fop uses it instead of a walk

and 1t comes as a death warrant to the
high-caste eviidoer. Generals In Japan

crown of Lombardy. This is preserved in

The Illuminated manuscripts of the thir-

shaped fans, similar to those used in Tunis
today, and folding fans, similar to those
commonly in use, were introduced into
France in the reign of Francis the First
The fan made it's appearance in England
during the reign Of Richard III, and at the
end of the fourteenth century ii was seen
in the hand of every lady OF rank. Eliza
beth was SO fond of this article of adorn-
ment that she became known as the Pa
tron of Fans" She established a rule that
no other present save fan should be ac-
cepted by English queens from their SUBJ
jects. Among the twenty-seven fans found
in her wardrobe after her death was one,
the gift of Leicester, of white feathers, and
its gold handle was ornamented with
pearls. rubies, emeralds and diamonds,
bearing also a lion rampant, with a white
bear muZzled at his foot-a device indicat-
ing his loyalty. Sir Christopher Hatton,
who sprang into the queens favor by his
wonderful dancing, gave her fan studded
with diamonds. and Sir Francis Drake gave
her another of white and red feathers, the
gold handle being enameled with mother-of-
pearl. The Countess of Bath sent her one
