Tho "DoubIers" and the Bubbles" OF
OIden Times.

Tho "DOublers anS the OuppleS "
Oiden Times.
In the twelfth century the table
cloths were very large and were al
ways laid on the table double. For a
long time they were called "doublers'
for that reason. The cloth was first
placed so as to touch the floor on the
side of the table at which the guests
sat. Then all the cloth that remained
was folded so chat it just covered the
table
Charles v had sixty-seven table
cloths which were from fifteen to
twenty yards long and two yards wide.
He had one cloth which was thirty
two yards long. and that had the arms
of France embroidered on it in silk.
All Of these were fringed.
In the sixteenth century 'doublers,"
or double cloths, were replaced by two
tablecloths. one of which was small
and was laid just as we lay ours to-
day.
The other, which was put on over it,
was large and of beautifully figured
linen. 1t was skillfully folded in such
a way that as book of that time
says. sit resembled a winding river,
gently ruffied by little breeze, for
among very many little folds were
here and there great bubbles"
1t must have required much art and
care to make dishes, plates, saltcellars,
sauce dishes and glasses stand steadily
In the midst of this undulating sea
and among those bubbles" and puffy
folds.
However, the fashion had only a
short existence, as is apt to be the case
with impractical fashions. and toward
the latter part of the century single
cloth. laid fat and touching the floor
on all sides of the table, came into gen.
eral use.
