Ahhhhh. A slender little hand-held fan slips into a purse, under a patio cushion pillow or upon a porch side table. This pretty accordion-folded accessory was once a mainstay for coquettish communication as there was a “language of fans”. Demurely dropping it invited masculine assistance while touching the closed fan to the top of the right ear indicated “call on me”, touching the lips lured a kiss. Fan pointed down clearly stated “taken”. 

But possibly we just wish to cool ourselves as we sip our lemonade…
