Serviette Folding.

THE DOUBLE FAN. i To produce this figure, first fold the napkin in halves longitudinally. : Folded back upon itself first one half, and then the other, as shown :in Figs. 1 and 2 respectively. 1 Pleat them from end to end, as ; shown by the dotted lines in the last-named figure. Then pull the \ two double sides apart at their free edges into the shape of a V, as in formixg the fan and petals, and as shown in Fig. 3, accompanying the present description. Spread fanwise, Design No. 4 rei suits.

I The vandyked edges to the two I fans will be noted in this illustration. The method of executing ! these finishing folds is the same asv j that followed in connection with I the leaf and fan. ! THE ROSETTE. | A simple fan may be formed by ' simply pleating the napkin from side by side, as in Fig. 5, doubling the pleats in the middle, and spreading out each half into a quadrant, securing the two halves together in the middle by bending over the two edges where they adjoin, folding one within the other, as in forming a hem. and pinching firmly together.

I This simple fold forms the basis ;of 'the figure named above. The • previously pleated serviette is ; doubled across the centre, and both ; halves spread round in a semicircle jas in Fig. 6. | Secure by' tucks at TTT, and the rosette is formed, as shown in Fig. 7.
