Are you aware that in Victorian occasions the women had an unspoken “fan” language? Perhaps a tradition we ought to restore today! Here are the meanings:

If your youthful lady held her fan to her lips, it pleaded with a hug

Shedding it meant friendship only

Drawing it across her eyes meant an apology

The fan placed close to the heart signaled You’ve won my love

Did she hide your eyes behind a wide open fan ~ I really like you

Running her fingers with the fans ribs meant, “I wish to talk.”

Frequent lowering and raising the fan several occasions ~ You’re cruel ~

Fanning gradually meant I’m married

Fanning rapidly meant I’m engaged

Passing the fan in one hands to a different meant, ” you’re searching at another.”

Utilizing it to maneuver her hair from her brow meant, “Remember me!”

Twirling the fan within the left hands ~ You’re being viewed ~
