Fold a serviette in half lengthways (see fig. 1), then in half again
(fig. 2). Fold it lengthways again, with the edges-inside, in the way
shown in fig. 3. Fold it in half lengthways at the dotted line with the
edges outside. Turn down the corners in the manner explained by fig.
4, both sides alike; it now resembles fig. 5. Turn in the superfluous
end C, shown in fig. 4, inside the hat: this makes it resemble fig.
6. Shape it with the hand and slip it over the dinner bread. If the
edges are left outside in folding (fig. 3), when finished, a space will
be offered at the top wherein a few flowers may be placed. A Boat
may also be folded by this diagram by reversing its position on the
plate. A still better way to make the Boat is to double a serviette in
half lengthways, and again the reverse way. Fold the two edges to the
centre: this makes an oblong. Turn it over on the other side. Turn two
of the corners to meet in the centre; must not be opposite corners,
but both at the right end. Turn the two left end corners half to the
middle. Iron down. Then fold the whole in half lengthways, having the
corners inside. This completes the Boat. Put the bread underneath.
