Fan LOSING Favor.

1t Is said the fan trade is steadily
declining, and this, too, in spite of the
tact that at no time has that graceful
weapon of coquetry and comfort been
so universal. Some of the leading fan
houses in Paris have closed their
doors, and one of the best lawmakers,
whose patronage includes the elite of
europe, declares the day Is past when
long prices will be paid for fans One
instantly seeks the reason for the
change Of sentiment which thus af-
fects trade. The aforesaid fan-maker
explains it by saying the German
copies Of the expensive styles have
done good deal to injure first-class
trade. The richest customers buy only
antiques. Instead of seeking the work
OF modern artists who make exquisite
pictures they will fly into raptures
over dirty old fan that is by no
means beautiful, merely because it is
an antique" and a possible Louis
XVI. Not long since lady went into
ecstasies before a beautiful fan paint
ed only the other day. She declared
she had seen nothing lovelier in any
art exposition in Europe, that nothing
was done nowadays like it.; it was
genuine. She was not at all pleased
when told the truth that it had been
made in those very workrooms. The
japanese fan has proved formidable
rival to the artistic French fan. 1t is
pretty and dainty, but it's price damns
1t with faint praise. What lady arrayed
in $1,000 costume could fan herself
with bit of colored paper? asks the
Boston Herald. But the majority of
women eschew fans. They are only
carried on state occasions, for no one
wants to be bothered with their care.
A museum is the best place for this
rare antique, particularly If it has any
historic association guaranteed.

Primrose day, set apart by the adj
mirers of Disraeli, is still observed by
them in England, we believe. Ac-
cording to information contained in
Henry w. Lucys recently published
parliamentary "reminiscences, there
is no reason why it's observance
should be continued under that name.
It's designation is based upon the as.
sumption that the primrose was Lord
Beaconsfields favorite flower. At his
funeral a wreath of primroses lay on
his cofin bearing the inscription:
His favorfte flower" to which the
queens initials were added. 1t seems,
however, that when the queen wrote
the inscription she had in mind the
prince consort and his cherished
flower. Mr.. Lucy remarks that the
only remembered observation made by
Dfsraeli concerning primroses was
that they made an excellent salad

Now comes the distressing informa
ton that straw hat fastened on the

add to the poor animals sufferings

The location of this addition to
the city is an ideal one, for, situated

impelled, more or less, by patriotic
motives, yet it cannot be gainsaid
that he was also impelled by bust

gifts showered upon him in ma

no better place for investment
