When she has a home of her own and begins to use these, she then begins to think in terms of the proper linens. Buying: Measure your table with or without the proper leaves inserted, depend- ing on the number of people you usually entertain, The hem should drop gracefully and evenly on all sides and be anywhere from 16 to 24 inches so as not to appear to skimpy. Placemats are usually from 12 to 14 inches decp and 16 to 18 inches wide. Napkins to match or co- ordinate are usually 22 to 24 inches square for a ‘luxurious dinner size and around 17 inches square for a luncheon napkin. Tea napkins are small- er, Table runners should be at least a foot wide and run to the exact edge of the table or drop eight to 10 inches.
