Bridge tables aren't just
for playing bridge or other
games," as ,many newlyweds
find out.
No. matter where they live,
- a newly married couple finds
a bridge table and d1 airs a
welcome lift. Some couples
have used bridge sets for their
dining furniture for months
when they're setting up
housekeeping.
• It's ideal for small
apartm- nts Which don't allow
a great deal of space for
dining. It can be the setting
for an intimate dinner for
two and, in just a few
minutes, be converted into a
game table, focusing on" an
evening , of cards or games
with their favorite couple.
When the evening is over, the
set .can easily be folded., and
stored neatly and qui^kly.
Some bridge sets feature
gay colors and patterns with
colors designed to co-ordinate
with any color scheme.
These bridge sets are• as
handsome as they are
functional. Tables and chairs
are covered with a washable,
stain -resistant upholstery and
• 'feature either chrome or
baked -on enamel frames.

weddings do to.people. Ther
lidea of love is. so contagious
that' everything associated
with it becomes warm and in
a sense lovable.
There's no denying that a
reception completely man-
' aged bya hotel, club or cater-
er
aterer with a well trained staff is
the easiest way to hang a re-
option. You discuss money
with them and after „that
everything follows smoothly.
This is their business, and
they do it well.
However, when money is a
question, what. -could be bet-
ter than'a reception at home:it,
It's `work. You'll probably
have to°move out some of the
furniture. In fact, you may
find that you have tf rear-
range the house completely.
You need at least standing
room for . perhaps 50 people,
and your list may jump to 100.
