The illustrations “B” and “C” will give the reader an idea of the numerous combinations that may be made from the different folds. With a little ingenuity you can produce designs without limit. I also show several windows in which examples of handkerchief folding are prominent, thus affording the reader an opportunity of selecting a number of designs for his own use.
DIAGRAM EXPLAINING HANDKERCHIEF FOLDS.
If you have a big window to decorate with fancy handkerchief folds it will be a good plan to get two or three salesgirls to assist in the folding. Show them how to fold the designs you require and their work will save you much valuable time. The pinning together on the frames is quick work.

The diagram will give you a better idea of the folds than the other pictures, which are reproductions of direct photographs from the goods themselves.
To produce the figure of “The Greek Cross,” proceed as follows: After the handkerchief is spread out full size turn down all four corners exactly to the center, producing No. 1. Then turn face downward and again fold the corners to the center, along the dotted lines A, B, C, D. This makes No. 2, which is also turned face down and the corners turned to the center along the lines A, B, C, D, and secured with bent pins. The pattern is now turned with the face upwards and the final figure is easily completed, as shown in No. 3. Four loose laps appear, and by placing the forefinger of each hand within these laps at point AA, and lifting the same the flaps straighten out and form B (No. 3). When all the flaps are raised and straightened the cross is formed and the figure completed.
