top like the one illustrated. The sticks
are in black pearl, and the mousseline
de sole is black, with black silk at the
edge exquisitely painted with cupids
and figures in Louis XVI. costumes.
Paillettes are distributed over the sticks
and all. Fans of white mousselne
with fine Brussels lace on the edge and
tortoise shell sticks are the daintiest lit
tie trifles imaginable. Medallions of
silk set in point lace and painted with
psychological figures and finished with
mother-of-pearl sticks are the modern
reproduction of the Louis XIV. fan, but
in the old days these fans were of parch-
ment or fine leather.
Large sums of money can be invested
in this little article of dress, and some
of the later limitations of this old style
cost from $50 to 81 900, according to the
fneness of the workmanship. a fan OF
green silk painted with violets, with
violet wood sticks stained green, is a
charming little novelty. Much less eX-
pensiye are the Chinese fans of fine
crepe painted with fowers.-N. Y. Sun

DAINTY LITTLE FANS.
Some Are Beautifully Painted and Most
of Them Very Costly.


The most expressive little accessory
of woman's dress is her fan, if she
but understands the art of using it.
French fans are the most attractive and
dainty in design. Size is the important
point in the fashion of fans just at pres
ent, since they must be very small, and
if we go back to the time of our great
grandmothers and resurrect their tiny
fans, we will have the proper size for
use to-day.
The Empire and Louis Quinze fans
are the popular shapes. The sticks are
of mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoise shell,
ebony, and violet wood, beautifully
enameled and inlaid with gold. Black
mother-of-pearl is a novelty this sea-
son, and the ornamentation of gold
shows off with good effect ON the dark
background. Despite the small size,
these fans display the most perfect
specimens of fine painting in Vatican
figures, birds and flowers, and the very
prettiest mounts are transparent with
various designs in silk introduced at the
