History Of Fan Is Interesting One
From Primitive Times Modern Day. 1t Has Had Its Place

in those Eastern lands, and con-
sidered indispensable.
With the fan, as with every
other innovation, royalty in
Europe and England went to
foolish extremes, spending in
some instances hundreds of dol
lars for a single one. Elizabeth
of England, a very vain person
who loved to deck herself with
costly clothes and cover herself
with jewels, gave whole hearted
approval to the fan, and went
even a step further, letting it be
known that she particularly liked
fans and intimating that they
were one of the few gifts a Queen
could accept from her subjects.
After this gentle hint it Is small
wonder that upon her death she
left 80 jewel-bedecked fans
among her other possessions.
Some Of the fans made OF great
punches of ostrich feathers
looked like nothing so much as
colorful bouquets, and as some of
them were delicately scented the
illusion persisted. These pleas
ing perfumes frequently had to
offset less pleasant odors, so it is
small wonder that great ladies
often took refuge behind their
fans. In fact, fans became so
popular with Englishwomen that
the sharp-tongued Addison wrote:
Women arm themselves with
fans as do the men with swords"
AS with most other accessories
there grew up an etiquette as to
the use of fans. Ladies of the
court never unfurl them in the
presence of royalty, nor could
they appear with ones OF such
rare beauty that they outshone
those carried by the Queen.
In 1895, in Paris, there appear
ed a telegraph fan" An alpha
bet printed on the inner side had
pointer projecting beyond the
sticks of the fan, and words
could be silently spelled out to
some one across the room. 1t was
an amusing, childish way of car
rying on a Irritation, but often
not so innocent when some plot
was Matched by telegraph" One
London dealer in fans, Robert
Clarke. was so enthusiastic about
the scheme that he patented the
idea, and with each fan sold a
fan language"
1t was difficult to keep up with
the changing fads, but two fans
which Napoleon gave to Marie
Louise as wedding presents had the
sticks which sheathed the folded
fan set III diamonds and emer-
aids, and the fan itself OF filmy
hand-painted, spangled gauze
Autograph fans, on which one
could collect the signatures of
celebrities, had a tremendous
vogue as late as the 1870s.
In these days of cooling and
electric-driven fans those we
used to carry occasionally are
very much outmoded, and fans
have for the most part been rele-
gated to the fashion of yester-
year. However, the French have
a proverb which says: There Is
nothing new but that which is
forgotten so perhaps our great
grandchildren may coquette with
fan, feeling very modern and
daring.

In the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art hangs painting, Lady
With Fan a lady whose lovely,
lively dark eyes which peep at
you over the top of her fan are
unforgettable, as is the lacy
beauty of the fan itself. The
lady belonged to the days OF the
empire. .. ...
The fan is one of the few
ornaments or accessories which
was used by primitive man. 1t
served many purposes; shielding
the eyes from the suns rays,
driving away insects, cooling the
air about one and, after fire was
used. tanning dying embers into
glowing flame. The first fans
were large leaves from trees,
often dried in the sun so that
they would be more rigid when
handled.
Each and every one of these
uses gave 1t a place among the
potentates of the East, although
they never demeaned them
selves by carrying fans, but had
slaves for that purpose. FASH
ioned like a huge whisk broom
set at the end of a long handle,
the fan was waved before the
great to cool them, and from
behind them to keep flies and
other insects from their food
when they ate. Even while
sleeping in India, the punka, a
huge swinging fan kept in mo-
ton by servants, was used to
make the masters rest more
comfortable. These were sus-
pended above the sleeper and
operated on heavy cords or ropes
In the hands of the slaves. In
that part Of the world the punka
is still used, for often there is no
power for operating the mechani-
cal fans of the day.
In addition to the whisk fan,
there have been flag fans, set on
long sticks much as flags are
today, and the folding fan now
in use.
AS early as the 18th century
BIC. China, with her age old
culture was using fans, and they
were brought from Oriental
countries to the Occident.
AS with gloves and umbrellas,
the use of the fan by the church
preserved it during the Dark
Ages. Even today when there is
some great ceremony in the Vati-
can, huge fans Of peacock
feathers are carried beside the
Pope's chair. These fans must
be made of peacock feathers be-
cause, contrary to the general
conception of that bird as vain
and proud. the early church con-
sidered it the symbol of modesty
for when the gorgeous tail
feathers are spread, and one
thinks of the bird as preening
itself, in reality its eyes are cast
down to it's feet, which are large
coarse and very ugly.
Just as the church kept for u:
some of our loveliest and most
useful accessories, so the Greeks
adapted them, their aesthetic
taste making them objects o
real beauty. Greek women car.
ried lovely fans, made of ex.
quisitely fine woven palm. hand
somely decorated. In most por.
trayals of Venus she is showr
Z carrying fan.

Gently by appearing in a trim
suit of shepherd checks, accent
ed with a black bow in her hair.
Provoking all kinds of envious
exclstmations was the pin she
wore at the neckline of her
blouse. an exquisitely designed
crown, studded with sparkling
jewels.

place in the fashion picture

especially in tiny touches to
pep up" an ensemble. Using it
beautifully as an accent is An
nabelle Macleod who has select
ed yellow dickey and large felt
hat to wear with trim brown
linen suit dress. Yellow linen in
a simple and striking frock is
the choice of pretty Frances
Gardner on informal summer
evenings.
1t wasn't only the excitement
of being a sponsor at ship
launching that made Ruthjane
Rumelt look so exceptionally
pretty the other afternoon. Con-
tributing was her costume of
''valor red" with navy accessories
and, of course, that luscious
white orchid was no handicap.

seem to be the newest trend, ac-
cording to the number of them
seen in New Yorks smart res
taurants. The peasant" touch
is carried out in amusing de-
tails such as the use of two tiny
spools dangling from a belted
blouse dress with this same Rus
sian motif.
Back to black again-those
charming young stars of MY
Sister Eileen" were smartly
dressed at cocktail hour the other
afternoon, Chic Betty Furness
wore a simple frock and a sheer
lace mantilla over her upswept
coiffure. Long black gloves, real
ly long. were the final touch of
perfection. Her companion,
Georgette Leslie, had deftly
wound black satin band
through her long blond hair and
pinned two huge purple orchids
at the waistline of her frock.
Charming Evie Robert, who
can always be counted on to
make fashion news, has done it
again with her idea of a great
flowing scarf to match each of
her dinner gowns. She wore a
beautiful one In yellow the other
evening with filmy chiffon frock
in the same tone.
Nominated, however, as "the
jewelry of the season" is the
hammered copper set worn by
Mrs. Ben H. Thompson at re-
cent party to say farewell before
she leaves for Chicago. The en-
semble consisted Of bracelets as
deep as cuffs, a smart little pin
on her hat and earrings all Of
the same modern metal. Worn
with soft gold wool coat, It was
something to shout about. n

NAVY HAS LARGE
SCALE RECRUITING
PROGRAM THIS WEEK

The U. S. Navy department has or
ganized a large scale recruiting pro-
gram to eliminate on Sunday, June 7,
which will be known as "Avenge Pearl
Harbor Day"
Sunday at 2:25 p m. will be just
six months after the treacherous at
tack on the Hawaii Naval base, and a
public oath ceremony at that time
will take place in every town in the
nation where a main navy recruiting
station or substation is located. The
nearest one to Oakland, is Cumber-
land.
The Navy is seeking a large number
of enlistments on that day. The Of
ficer in charge of the Baltimore re-
cruiting station, Lieut.. Paul R.
Warmee, said, eff every Navy Re-
cruiting Main Station and Satisfaction
can enlist this week and swear in on
Sunday good group of recruits, it
is obvious that this nation is to a
greater extent every day standing up
and showing the Axis powers that
we have got what it takes and that
