Etiquette of the Napkin
This article appeared in The Philadelphia Times newspaper on March 24, 1882: ” The law of the napkin is but vaguely understood. One of our esteemed metropolitan contemporaries informs an eager inquirer that it is a bad form to fold the napkin after dinner; that the proper thing is to throw it with negligent disregard on the table beside the plate, as to fold it would be a reflection on the host and imply a familiarity that would not benefit an invited guest.”
