Napkins. ,
Table napkins were l". use long be
fore soma of the other accessories
which we consider indispensable to
day. Before forks came to be known,
men had to use their fingers in pre
paring their food; hence the ancient
common habit of frequently passing
the baslnof water and its accompany
ing napkin for wiping the hands. It
now seems incredible that forks were
not customary -until the seventeenth
century.
