Coming late into this discussion, I was going to say that my Swedish dictionary 
gives "silkespapper" for "tissue paper". Interesting to know the reason for the 
name.

Hi Debbie,
Now i understand. Many thanks for your informations.
You know we call this paper silk paper in Denmark because the ships that 
carried silks from china had them wrapped with this paper.
