FAN FADS WORTH COPYING
Handsome Indeed Are Those Which
Partisan Women Have Adopted 40
the Mode for the Season.

As in many other dainty feminine
accessories, it is Paris which sends us
the prettiest fans. Bewitching little
trifies they are. delicate and lovely
One of the new ideas Is to have
the fan made with flower-like petals
of gauze or chiffon. partially covered
with tinsel or Renaissance lace. When
the materials used are filmy enough.
and the sticks OF carved ivory or
pearl, it is easy to imagine just how
pretty such fans are
Sometimes on the feather fans you
will see little butterflies in color. clev'
erly made from the feathers. and or
namenting the part just above the
sticks. And sometimes the butterflies
are replaced BY small ros"buds IN
she'll pink, or festOons or chenille IN
round balls.
Very handsome are the fans OF chill
fon cloth, with hand-painted decora'
tons. There are pastoral scenes IN
color, and they remind us of the beau
tiful old French fans Of long ago. Ere
quently these have sticks Of the lus'
trous mother-of.pearl, fitting finish
to the gauze.like tops.
