PLEADING THE CAUSE OF FANS

There are some beautiful and more
or less useless accessories of dress
that fashion never frOwns upon; al
though she treats them with consider
able Indifference for lengthy periods
Of time. Fans and long earrings are
instances. About the time that we
think they are forgotten, not to be re-
called, they emerge and find welcome
as If they were something new. This
season has seen the temperance or
fans-with fashion smiling upon those
made of feathers, and certainly nothing
ever pleaded the cause Of fans more
convincingly than these airy and smart
Injuries.
The holidays developed the vogue Of
fans made of ostrich feathers, for they
were bought more freely than others !;

center of the group. The incOmpar-
able markings and cOlOrings of the nat
ural feathers make them the most adj

These are mounted on tortoise shell
or other sticks, and are beautiful and
unchanging.
Very long, curled ostrich plumes
make the splendid fan at the bottom
Of the group. These are shown in
many brilliant and many light colors,
and carried as the most important
item in the evening costume. They
belong with the rich. metallic bro
