Conger Reynolds correspondence, March 1-17, 1918

affected by the French that I should like to have in my own household. For example is the porcelain plate or vase for hot dishes. I don't know what to call it, but you'll understand. It's a very useful thing. Then there is no end to the beautiful table covers in hand work that one can get here. If I tried to buy them I'd have to pay the price for Americans, but through Madame Coulon in Paris I could get them reasonably. Would you care for a set of serviettes, the French napkins about twice the size we use? They and the linen envelopes they are folded in, along with other characteristic table furnishings would lend individuality to a dinner party at home. If, anytime, you think of things for me to get over here, you will tell me, n'est ce pas? Incidentally, send me your glove size to oncet so I can mail you some gloves the first time I get to Paris.
