BIG AY Tips on caring for china and crystal gifts .4, washer than if washed by hand. The possibility of 0.-Appir,g or breaking is far less in protected dishwasher racks than when being han- dled with sudsy hands in a sink. Even though most good dishes can be washed in a dishwasher, there are certain items that should always be handwashed, including hand-painted china and an- tique china and crystal. The patterns may be affected by the high-temperature water and strong detergents in an automatic dishwasher. There was a time when the nicest wedding gifts were carefully packed away and saved for special occasions. Nearly all china and crystal items, for example, were considered too delicate for everyday use. But brides today can and do put even the nicest .pres- ents to regular use. For- tunately, modern eclectic lifestyles make it ap- propriate and a dishwasher makes it practical.

To make your skin silky soft and smooth, try the sensual bath. The reassuring sound of running water filling a tub, the gentle caress of droplets of condensing steam on your body, the moist air heavy with the fragrance of your favorite bath oil . . . with the addition of your own unique effects — a pastel marble tub perhaps, or a graceful palm, some yoga breathing exercises or a cup ,of tea — you can conjure up an oasis from the bone-chilling cold of winter, and a relaxing refuge from the minor ten- sions of the day. Like all great bath lovers from the Romans to the present-day Japanese, you ,know the value of a relaxing bath. But it shouldn't be an occasional break in ,your routine. The sensual bath should be part of it — and for a good, prac- tical reason. In winter, damp winds and cold temperatures out- side compete with heating indoors to .dry out normal skin and torture normally dry skin to the point of flaking or scaling. Itching and extreme discomfort may result. For people who have either of these dry-skin problems, dermatologists recommend using the sen- sual bath as a therapeutic one. How? By choosing a good bath oil such as Alpha Keri which contains special ingredients to seal in mois- ture, replacing natural oils lost in the bath. Washing with plain soap and water removes oil from the skin, and. it is this oil which pro- tects the skin by enabling it to retain moisture. You'll find that Alpha Keri is totally dispersible in water, This means ,that the oil disperses evenly through- out the water and will reach all the parts of your body and, not just make a ring aro- und your tummy. Some bath oils, even expensive ones, float as a thin film on top of the water and they and your skin treatment -- end up down the drain.. Best of all,, only 10 to 20 minutes of.soaking with a good, bath oil can last the whole'winter day through. The .mild, refreshing fra- grance of the oil keeps your skin smelling pleasant while the therapeutic action helps relieve the itching of winter- dry skin. It's a very sensual, very practical solution to winter skin problems. Pots, pans great gifts Nothing makes a girl take a practical turn of mind quicker than a diamond ring. For along with thoughts of romance, wed- dings and June come thoughts of meal-planning, entertaining' and cooking. And once the honeymoon's over, the kitchen must be ready and waiting, with all the equipment that's basic to the preparation of three meals a day. Nothing's more basic, 'Certainly, than pots and pans and there's nothing that will make more of a differ- ence in the new.bride's daily kitchen routine' than the kind of pots and pans she uses, In other words, every homemaker has a choice these days: to spend time in the kitchen scouring and scrubbing after every meal — just as her mother did when she married — or to use pans that simply don't require all that work. The second choice 'inns hands down. That's why One of the very best gifts anyone can give the bride-to-be is one or more pieces of superb non-stick cookwate such as the French import called T-Fail:
