BOUQUET FANS
THAT HAVE BOTH
SCENT AND BEAUTY

that bouquet of lilies of the valley"
said her escort, as she appeared in
the drawing-room.
''Oh, that" she said, lis a floral fan

then closed the stems again.
The floral fan is the latest feminine
fad. There are big bouquets of violets
cleverly Derfumed, and so natural in
color, shape and size that they are
we'll calculated to deceive the eyes of
, even the most uD-to-date florist.
There are pure white violet fans.

as fragrant.
Then there are lily of the valley
fans with leaves and without daintily
arranged, and with the scent of the
real blossoms clinging to them.
Poppy fans will be especially popu-

and all black gowns. In the very large

are used, but in the smaller ones only

The choicest fans are imported Pa

but they are quite inexpensive con-

Ordinary cheap fans may be used

Remove the fan paper and paste

dinner favors, tiny fans, about sly
inches across when opened, are es'

the handle so the recipient may hang
the favor about her neck.
To make useful fans is also quite
