NoS Summary - Dinner party tips - how to fold serviettes into interesting shapes.
British Pathe synopsis: "Serviette folding is a fine art - yet few things add more daintiness to a table than neatly folded serviettes. The expert makes it look so easy - " C/U of a pair of hands unfolding a serviette then shaping it into a cone shape. "Another one..." A different way of folding a serviette is demonstrated. This time the serviette looks more like a hat. "And here’s a dainty fan design." C/U of the hands folding then opening out the serviette into a fan shape.
