Note 88 — Chapter IX · EXCURSION ROUND THE STRAITS.

An artiste thus advertises in the Times:—“The Fan.—The most graceful mode of using this elegant companion, so indispensable to the distinguished, will be imparted by a lady who is well skilled in an exercise so charming and fascinating in the brilliant society of the continent, particularly of the Court of Spain. A fortnight’s practice would remove that impression of inaptitude and want of grace, hitherto so apparent in its use in the most fashionable circles in this country. The lady will be at home from 12 to 4 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of each week, commencing the 10th of January. The lessons are for the select few, at five guineas the course. For cards of address apply to Mde. Ramazzoti, French Room, Soho Bazaar.”
