"Since it was often inappropriate for a young woman to speak openly with a young man, hand-held fans became the primary tool for flirtatious communication."

At a dance, a lady would routinely carry a fan with her, not only for cooling comfort, but also as a means of communication to attending gentlemen. The lady would necessarily meet the gentleman’s gaze, though perhaps from across the room, in order to transmit her message with her fan. Thus, merely fanning the fan in a fast motion would not automatically serve any purpose other than cooling unless the lady was specifically looking at a certain gentleman and intending to send a message. A coy tilt of the head, wry smile perhaps, and bright eyes, would definitely get the man’s attention.
