An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions devoted to place mats and napkins, written by Colonel John S. Fishback. It presents four place settings woven by Penland weavers: plain-weave brown and gray perle cotton mats with solid-color napkins, an eight-harness Bronson Lace mat and napkin in linen, a Finnish lace two-block linen mat and napkin, and heavy jute mats on opposites. Warp counts, setts, yarns, threading, tie-up and treadling are given, with drafts for the lace and jute patterns. It closes with advice on trimming fringe to an even length.
