vantages. Parasols, scarfs. muffs, ear
rings, bracelets, dainty handbags-all
these ct cetera of dress are now su-
premely important. And fans, which
have been rather out of the picture
within the past season or so, are back
in favor-not only the large feather
fans but smaller fans of chiffon, silver
cloth or lace.
The fan should, of course, be chosen
to go with the dress. To carry a small
lace fan of the Victorian sort with an
ultra-modern dress would be an abb
surdity. To carry large, brilliant fan
with sweeping feathers with a pastel
colored dress of the picturesque, dainty
type would be just as absurd.

muffs. You may not see many of them,
but when you do you realize that they
are part of the present fashion. This
