dards and were borne only by royal princes or If you wish to meet a friend between the hours men of high rank and approved bravery. Hand- screen fans made of leaves and of ostrich feathers were also in general use. In the

CIRCUS.

British Museum may be seen specimens with W

half-yard-long wooden handles.

In India the earliest fans were of palm leaves. In Persia and among the Arabs ostrich-feather fane were in use early in the Christian era. Screen fans are mentioned as being in use in China about the same date that Rameses III was reigning in Egypt, and, as in Egypt, they' were carried as standards in war. The earliest kind's, made of feathers, were royal or imperial gifis. Later on white and embroidered silk was apparently used, for we find its application to this purpose forbidden in 405 A.D.

Ivory had been employed at an anterior date, and in the early part of the Christian era, a Chinese workman, whose name is handed down as Chi- ki-long, was renowned for screen-shaped hand fans, which he made by beating out a sheet of gold to excessive thinness. He then painted them with gods, with extraordinary birds, and with rare animals; varnished them and covered them with transparent sheets of mica." The fan is mentioned by Euripides, Virgil, Ovid, etc., and it is frequently to be found figured on Etruscan vases. Boettiger states that the earliest Greek screen fans were shaped like the plane-tree leaf. But in the fifth century, B.C., the fashion of peacock feather fans was intro- duced from Asia Minor, and was readily adopted by the Greek women. A fresco at Herculaneum depicts an ostrich-feather fan. The "tabelle," mentioned by Ovid and Propertius, were band screens of thin wood; at times these were trimmed with feathers.

Cut none of these screen fans, large or small, whether made of feathers, of leaves, of ivory, or of gold, whether semicircular or tail-shaped, could be folded, "They were either attached to long handles, like the Chinese and Egyptian war fans, or to small handles for the convenience of personal use.

With the last of the Casars the screen fan disappears from Europe, not to reappear until the time of the Crusades, when the Mag-shaped fan, probably of Saracenic origin, was intro- duced, and continued in use in Venice, Naples

and Padua.

In the meantime Christianity had transmuted the fan Into an instrument of devotion. St Jerome had named it as the emblem of chastity, and henceforth it took its place in the sanctuary, where, at the altar it served to keep flies from the chalice and the sun's rays from the celebrant. The "flabellum" thus used has come down to us in actual specimens, such as the flabellum of the Abbey of Tournus, figured in M. du Sommerard's work. The fabellum is also mentioned in many inventories, notably one of silk at Salisbury, A. D_1214, and one in peacock's feathers at St. Paul's Cathedral, 1395, They COME_and_witness the talented___family_

continued in general use until the end of the thirteenth century, and still form one of the most marked features in all grand Papal ceremonies.

Closely related in shape to the flabellam were the earliest fans of peacocks' feathers worn by ladies. Such a fan is held by Maria Luisa: de Tassis in her portrait by Van Dyck

These fans are known to have been of con- The siderable value, worth £40 or more. handles were of ivory or of gold, worked and jeweled. The feathers were ostrich, peacock, or Bome other bright plumage, and the fan hung by a. slender chain from the heavier girdle then worn round the waist. This mode of hanging the fau continued fashionable to the seventeenth century.

In illuminated manuscripts of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries may be seen flag fans similar in form to that in use in Tunis to this day, and in an inventory of Charles the Fifth of France, dated 1380, we read for the first time of "un esmaouchoir rond qui se playe, ea Quoire, aux armes de France, et de Navarre, a manche d'ybenus." Folding screens of this shape were used until the reign of Francis the First, when they gave way to folding fans more or less of the shape we now LBC.
