A dispenser for paper napkins including a container having a substantially open top and front. Opposed side walls of the container receive a cover that can pivot about an axis adjacent the rearward edges of the cover. In addition to pivotal movement, the cover is also mounted for up and down sliding movement to better accommodate various numbers of napkins. Angling the forward edges of the cover downwardly toward the stack of napkins concentrates the pressure exerted on the stack across a line inward of the front of the container. The cover is pressed down on the stack causing the ends of the napkins to fan apart facilitating the user grasping and removing any desired number of the napkins.
