Fig. 2.
The Shield is almost identical with the [Escutcheon]; there is, however, a slight difference, which forms a little variety and practice in the art of napkin-folding.

Fig. 4.
First form [fig. 1], as for the Escutcheon. Next roll up the two ends in the manner shown in [fig. 2]; that is, make the rolls outwardly, not under as in the previous direction. The serviette will now resemble [fig. 3]. Then set it into form, and place the bread inside. The face of it will stand perfectly upright and resemble [figure 4].
THE MITRE.
The Mitre is a well-known device, and one which always looks effective. It is not unlike the Crown. Fold the damask in half, and turn down the two corners to meet at both ends, in the manner shown in [fig. 1], taking care to let them meet very exactly and not overlap. Fold it in half at the line A to B, [fig. 1], to ascertain the centre. Open this last fold again and bring the two points to the centre like [fig. 2]. Fold these together at the dotted line with the points outside, let down one of these corners again, and turn in the two points A and B also, to make a triangle uniform with the others: it will now resemble [fig. 3]. Turn the serviette over; let down the point on that side: it will then resemble [fig. 4]. Turn in the corners A and B, by the line marked. Turn up the point D to its former position: it will now resemble [fig. 5]. Slip the hand inside the hollow to be found at the broad end, and shape it like a cap, and the Mitre is complete.
