The Right Thing at the Right Time By MABT MARSHALL S. PI'FFEE. V With the Napkin Several hundred years ago it was the altogether elegant thing to use the edge of the tablecloth for a napkin. At another period “correct” persons carried the napkin over the right arm when eating and, it is said, the custom among waiters of carrying ,a towel In this way dates from that time. At still another time In luxurious

households a fresh napkin was served with each course and as the diners finished the course they let the used napkin slip to the floor, so that at the end of the banquet a pile of damask lay at each place. Now we find a napkin, simply folded, at the right of onr place or lying on the plate as we sit down to dinner. We unfold It as deftly as possible and place it across our lap—“acros the left knee,” the strict authorities used to say. As need may require we wipe our fingers on the napkin beneeth the table and occasionally raise it to our lips. When finger bowls are pessed tbo fingers are dipped In the bowl, first one hand and then the other and then wiped on the napkin. Never under any circumstances dip the napkin Into the finger bowl. If we wish o wipe the Ups with the water we should merely moisten the fingers, touch the Ups and then wipe the Ups and fingers. Ideally speaking, a napkin is never used but once between trips to the laundry and hence napkin rings would be unnecessary, but practically a great many persons can not afford to do this and so the napkin ring has a perfectly legitimate place on the dining table.
