backdrop for whatever you serve. A basic
china pattern for the main service and some
colorful auxiliary pieces will provide you
with enough flexibility to serve a variety of
cuisines.
•White porcelain with a simple gold or
silver baud is -one - of-- the most„ -versatile-
choices for a service. Soup, salad and
dessert can be served in bowls and plates in
any number of unusual patterns that you
collect as you go along.
A handy rule of thumb: At least one of
your choices — china, crystal or silver —
should be a simple pattern. If you choose or-

make your table inviting.
Strive for comfort in your selections.
Silver should be well-balanced and feel good
in your hand. The same holds true for
crystal. Pick up the glasses, pretend you are
drinking from them; see whether there is a
comfortable balance between bowl and
stem. Examine the edges for smoothness.
Finally, don't overlook the effects of table -
dressing on the overall appearance of your
place -settings. A traditional white damask
tablecloth with matching napkins is one
choice. But don't ignore the beauty of
placemats and coverings in all sorts of
materials — mirror, wood, carpet, plex-
iglass, cork, etc. Colors, too, produce
magical effects that will delight your
guests.
Following these guidelines, you should be

Reception at home
is less formal
If wedding bells will be ringing at home
next summer, these helpful hints may
smooth out the wrinkles.
Reserve one room solely for the..
ceremony.
Limit the guests to the number your home
is able to accommodate, unless the recep-
tion is held in a large garden.
If more than 50 guests are iuvited, con-
sider renting a tent, also handy if it rains..
Enclose maps with invitations.
Less formal attire. is more appropriate for
Tome weddings.
Make sure of ample coat racks or use
bedroom Tor coats.
Be sure the toast to the bride and throwing
of the bouquet are. remembered.
Nice touches are floral decorations and
?musicians.
Keep the bride's bedroom clear for chang-
ing.
Limit the wedding party to a . few
bridesmaids and a best man.
A good husband
A Master of a house
(as I have read)
Must be the first man up,
and last man in bed;
With the Sun rising he
must walk his grounds;
See this, View that, and all _• -...
the other, bounds;
Shut every gate; mend
every hedge that's torne,
Either with old, or plant
therein new thorne;
Tread o'er his glebe, but
with such care, that
- where
He set his foot, he leaves
rich compost there.
-Robert Herrick
What to pack
•from page 26
ordinate with the jackets — in this way, they
do double duty.
Three sets of wash/wear . underwear
should be enough, as you can wash out one
set each day and have a sparealways ready.
Six oreight pairs' of socks will do — and
don't forget handkerchiefs. A lightweight
washable robe is nice to take along because
it can be used as a poolside coverup.
Be sure to leave room for active sport-
swear when packing. Include at least one
lightweight sweater for chilly nights.
Another must is a lightweight ram coat.
Stylish shoes may look great, but if you in-
tend to do a lot of sightseeing, be sure to
pack your most comfortable walking shoes.
