Paper handkerchiefs (7)
I believe the answer is:
tissues
'paper handkerchiefs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tissues that I've seen before include "Soft, thin pieces of paper" , "Thin skins or papers" , "Paper hankies" , "not to be sneezed at? Au contraire!" , "Sheets of very thin paper" .)
