Some helpful hints to keep a married -size wardrobe
An unwritten part of
today's marriage contract
is the sharing of responsi-
bilities_ Hopefully, you'll
be marrying a man who
will do more than just
throw out the garbage to
help with the household
chores, but chances are
the traditional woman's
task of doing the laundry
will remain your responsi-
bility.
To Dope with the in-
creased two person vol-
ume of laundry as well as
the tough stains men can
manage to get on their
clothes, without an in-
crease in your time and
effort, learn to streamline
your routine with effective
methods, products and
procedures.
Many stains and sails
just will not wash out with
detergent alone_ Tru wash

Just spray it on soil and
tough stains, wait 60 sec-
onds and then launder
clothes in the usual way

If your husband -to -be
wears heavy-duty clothes,
it's also a good idea to
wash these items sepa-
rately from delicate ward-
robe items.
Fine washables are best

The `perfection syndrome'
If new brides share ane
fault above all in com-
mon, it is probably that
of just plain trying too
hard to be "the perfect
wife."
The first months of
marriage may find the
newlywed woman caught
up in a frenetic whirl of
gourmet cooking and bak-
ing, French per, spit -
'n -polishing — all done at
the same time she is try-
ing to adjust to her new
spouse_
There is no real "cure"
for this yndrorme (which
is not restricted to the
female • sex — you can be
sure that the new groom
is going through the same
tortures iii his self-impos-
ed new roles of Don Juan,
the Great Protector, Mr.
Fix -It, Solomon, and the
King of Muscle Beach! )
But it's a good idea for
newlyweds to remember
that no one in the world
can (or wall!) expect these
towering heights of per-
fection, and he or she who
adjusts slowly and reason-
ably will not be filled with
guilt when the souffle falls
or the new shelf comes
