Return Of The Fan
A fashion note in keeping with the direotoire styles of this season is the number of fans shown in the various shop windows in London. Some dressmakers, too, are accompanying their models with matching or contrasting fans. This is all that remains of tho ostrich feather vogue so prevalent during the spring and early summer. Doubtless it is the heat of the summer that encourages womeu again to use fans, without which no evening gown was correct in our grandmothers’ time. While every restaurant and place of entertainment give paper fans to their clients, a number of smart women and girls are seen with pretty fans in varying colours. Sometimes these are handpainted, thus reviving once again the fan-maker’s art long since fallen into abeyance. Indeed, tho fan-carrying habit acquired during the summer is likely to result in more fans being seen in ballrooms this coming winter than for some years past.
