You Can Still Buy a Hanky

Last week in Von Maur Department Store in Columbus OH, I saw these handkerchiefs for sale. 

Seeing them reminded me of the little ironed squares my mother kept in a lacquered Chinese box.  

My father had larger ones, not as ornate. 

Nowadays you don’t see much handkerchief use.

 Here are the hankies for sale in 2016.

A handkerchief I received from a student when I taught nursery school in the late 70’s.  I framed it!
