IVhen tho debutante of this season is asked to choose her first fan she. is almost certain to bond a- favouring gaze upon tho beautiful ostnen feather Titus, which arc again the height of inodishuess. In greater profusion than over abound now these decorative adjuncts ot tho toilette, tor it has been found that the old met hod of mounting them tn tho usual half-spreading circle manner is capable of ever so much diversity, A FIRST FAVOURITE. Quite naturally the.Prince of Wales emblem is a, .first favourite. Three splendid specimens of ostrich plumage aro used for tho purpose, their tips bonding forward at the summit, with ini extra, much shorter one in some na Ses ,t° !K H ue ' v Face to the scheme. .Urn handle is au important point, and at the present moment carved ivory is a very favourite choice. Amber, ebony and mother-of-pearl are seen also, and it is possible to buy specially designed sucks to which can be fitted any plumage. A single lancer feather of rich aspect and goodly length may bo utilised for the purpose. Ono ot the most uncommon-looking fans I have seen lately was made of gow. tissue mounted upon tortoiseshell and surrounded by blush pink ostrich feathers, with, a separate plume at ono side.
