ners of a square napkin are folded tt
the center, and the new corners agail
similarly folded, after which the nap
kin is turned over and its four corners
are folded again to the center. Turn
it over, and you will find four prett,
pockets.
The water lily and the four poke
are especially adapted for small tie;
napkins.
The university cap is rather com

The cocks comb is made by folding
the napkin in half and again in hall
