The season has arrived for the woman
who fans. She may have carried her fan all
winter. In fact, there arc many women wAo
never go without n fan. The day last win
ter. when the heaviest furs were all too
light, the woman had her fan with her. and
sure enough she used IL. She always uses II
when she is In a crowd. Size never fails TO
use IL in church 1t may be that the one
sitting next TO her is not troubled FOR air,
but the woman with fan Will WELD 1t SO
that everybody in her vicinity will feel its
breezes. Particularly IS this true with the
one who sits in front. Not satisfied with
tanning herself. she wastes her energies in
sending the wind across the neck and Shout
ders of the poor victim in front II there is
one thing above another that is enough to
drive one frantic. it is TO have spasmodic
shafts OF air sent down ones neck. Not olly
is IL neTve-racking. but IL also produces a
cold in the head which leads to discomfort
and frequently to a physicians bill. A
woman may fan herself as much she
pleeses. but she might be thoughtful enough
not to fan the neighbor in front of her. Let
every n atron do her own fanring.
