TABLE NAPKINS

CUR1OUSLY enough, the table napkin, now
deemed almost indispensable. was first
elder members of the family only about the
middle of the fifteenth century. In etiquette
books of an earlier date than this, among other
sage pieces of advice for children, are instruc-
tons about wiping their fingers and lips with
their napkins.
1t seems that the tab1ecloth was long enough
to reach the floor. and served the grown people
in place of napkins. When they did begin to
use napkins. they placed them first the
shoulder, then the left arm, and finally
tied them about the neck. French writer.
who evidently was conservative and did not
welcome the napkin kindly, records with
scorn:
1.-The napkin is placed under the chin and
fastened in the back, as If one was going to
be shaved. A person told me that he wore
his that way that he might not soil his beau
tiful frlls."
1t was difficult matter to tie the two cor
ners in the back, and it is said that thence
originated our expression tor straltened
circumstances: Hard to make both ends
meet" This custom led to the habit shown
by walters of carrying napkin across the left
arm.
Napkins became popular in France sooner
than in England. At one time it was GUS
tomary at great French dinners to change the
napkins at every course, to perfume them
with rose water, and to have them folded
different way for every guest.
About 1850 Pierre David published
"Maistre d'h6stel," which teaches how to
wait on patrons properly, and how to fold all
kinds of table napkins in all kinds of fancy
shapes.
The shapes were: Square; twisted: folded
in bands: in the forms of double and twisted
shells; single shell; double melon; single
melon; cock, hen, and chickens; pigeon in
basket: partridge; pheasant: two capons in
pie: hare; two rabbits; sucking pig; dog
with a collar pike: carp; turbot; inter;
turkey; tortoise; the holy cross; and the
Lorraine Cross"

He Writes for the Reader
TT will be perceived by the keen critic of such
matters that " Mr. Dooley" does not write
his brogue in the conventional form used by
funny authors, and no doubt he makes
some inevitable mistakes: but on the whole
it is rather relief to the eye when it is not
compelled to follow a maze of jumbled vowels
and consonants and to miss the sense of a
phrase in doing it.
There is no writer of dialect who is so faith
fully accurate in such matters George w.
Gable, whether his characters be represented
as speaking negro, German, Acadian, French,
or Irish: but the trouble with them and their
rich pudding is that it has too many plums.

a handful every time he touches the pastry
dish, he soon ceases to think himself a smart
boy
Even Burns gives us a welcome variation
when he writes English; just as Captain.

Whitmanese blank verse and woodpile meter.
Mr.. Dooley is none the less humorous for lack
ing an excess of brogue. His hundreds of
imtators have brogue enough but no under
standing which to put it. To quote his
own words, on another subject:
THAT is a joke. l med it"
