Something About Fans.

The Chinese attribute the first use OF
the fan to the beautiful Kansi, the
daughter of a mandarin. Feeling very
hot one day she took off the mask
which she wore over her face and
famed herself with it.
From Ovid we know that fans were
used in Rome and were called little
leaves"
1t was in Venice. however, that la.
dies began to make a general use OF
fans. These fans were made of lace
and gold, and were shaped like little
flags, with stick studded with pre-
cious stones. Titan paints one of
these in his Donna"
- Marie Antoinette had the greatest
collection of fans known in her day
and the greatest artists Of the period
thought 1t an honor to paint them.
Balzac tells or a fan which the city
of Dieppe gave to Marie Antolnette,
and which is said to have been the
most beautiful fan ever known to the
historian Of beautiful fans

Club Women Buy a Hearse.

Think of woman's club buying a
hearse with its first official dollars!
This is the odd proceeding of the Wom'
ans Improvement Association at Las
Cruces, n. NJ, and as the President,
Mrs. d. c. Billings, puts 1t proudly,
ITS the only hearse in the county"
The Las Cruces Wpnan's Improve
ment Association has only eleven men,
bers. When this ambitious little band
organized five years ago 1t not only
purchased a hearse to replace the rude
wagon that had previously served at
the head of funeral professions, but
set about to otherwise improve this
small town, made up mostly of unpro-
gresslve Mexicans and winter tourists.
They bought a section of land and pro-
ceeded to convert it into a park by
planting trees and putting up a pavil-
ion. Afterward they purchased a lot
for the purpose of erecting some pros
porous day public library and club
house under one roof.-The Pilgrim

Plateaux Much Favored.

To be included among the very latest
novelties is large plateau hat, mount
ed on a circular trimmed bandeau fit
ting onto the top of the head A model
of this sort consists of a plateau Of
rice straw, the upper side OF which is
white and the under side slightly glace
with pale blue. A circular piece OF
cream guipure covers the centre of the
plateau. On the bandeau is a folded
scarf Of very soft pale blue satin, ar
ranged behind in butterfly bow with
frlnged ends. Above this, in the under
side of the brlm, Is a drapery of blue
tulle, the ends of which are fastened
beneath two pairs Of blue wings, also
sewn fiat on the brim, so that they are
face downward. The same arrange
ment is also carried out in black rice,
butter-colored guipure and a maize
scarf, and yellow roses in the place OF
wings. Owing to their somewhat ex-
aggerated size these hats are not like
ly to be so generally favored as a
smaller size hat called the Louis XVI.

not more than ten inches In diameter,
mounted on a wire and net shape, with

between the two brims is a row Of glo.
bular pink roses set in among sprays

The fashion of wearing natural flow.
srs in the daytime is making its way
,apldly, and the custom is spreading
from the larger to the smaller cities
through towns. villages and hamlets.
In America, however, few women
would venture to appear with such
enormous punches of posies as does the
Duchess of Marlborough. who is not
nfrequently seen with from fifteen to
twenty gardenias arranged on her bod
ice. Mrs. Rupert BecKett, of London,
also conspicuous in the Marlborough
house set, thinks nothing of wearing
four large arum lilies in a cluster.
Lady Downshire confines herself to
yardenias while In season, and Lady
Algernon Gordon-Lenn is content
with nothing else than a very good
sized bunch of lilies-of-the-valley
These usually she wears tucked in
her waist belt. One hardly ever sees

Mrs. Astor still retains her attach

name. 1t is large, of pinlIy-lavender
color, and has the faintest possible
scent Mrs. Pierpont Morgan wears,
whenever she dons any flower, the
quaint, pretty rose named in her honor.

use on a bodice the stem being heavy
and unlikely to break, and the bloom

RnnRllades.

The charming fancy Dame Fashion
has taken this spring to introduce f1ow-
ers into everything that she touches is
noticeable in her dealings with the
parasol Of 1902. Bunches, wreaths and
festoons of roses, lilac, wlstarla, pop
pies and daffodlls are all to be seen.
The voice of La Mode has decided
definitely In favor OF chine silk as the
leading material for sunshade covers.
The cOlors are not gorgeous, but inf
nitely lovely, soft and harmonious, and
II everything connected with our toi-
let is as artistically perfect as our par
asols promise to be we shall have very
little reason to rail against the DEGREES
of fashion.
Pompadour designs are much in evil
dence. many of them having the
blurred chine pattern. while on others
the pattern stands out in clear relief.
Lines of satin or broche woven into the
silk are also to be seen, and insertings
of lace are introduced round the edge
with capital effect.
The arch of the parasol is more pro.

are strictly in accord with the silk,

HEAVY EmbxoidorIes,

Embroidery TO be chic Should be
rather heavy and in dull shades Of
wool or silk. In some cases the leaves
of the flowers are padded to give them
the necessary raised effect. Some
times, also, gold and silver threads
are introduced in the pattern to give
the embroidery greater weight The
materials thus embroidered are either
the dress itself or canvas of the same
color.
