Even if man masters etiquette perfectly in theory, he tends in practice to small carelessness, if it goes in the (stain) crisis area of table culture but once high, for example, when dealing with salad, chicken legs or soups. A napkin is the best protection against the resulting stains on freshly washed clothing. But even the most beautiful napkin is of no use if it cannot be tied with a napkin chain or if it has a size that is suitable for knotting. Both have become rare. We therefore have this classic white peasant napkin made in a size that can hardly be found nowadays, so that the napkin can be tied at the neck (as with the soup Kaspar) and protects the clothes of the eater generously from fat, wine and salad dressing.
