To make your skin silky soft and smooth, try the sensual bath. Here's Timetable for the Bride Who's Organized: After you've received your engagement ring and are thinking about setting the date, your first question is apt to be, "How long does it take to plan a wedding?" While you can take as long as a year to make all the arrangements necessary for a beautiful wedding, you can accomplish it in just four months with the prop- er organization. The first step, after de- ciding on the type of wed- ding you want, is to visit your clergyman and settle on a wedding date. Now is also the time to make ar- rangements for your recep- tion, after both you and your fiancé have made a list of those you'll be inviting. You should also make ar- rangements for your wed- ding photographer at this time, as well as the florist and organist, if any. And, of course, you'll want to select your wedding dress and ac- cessories at the earliest pos- sible date. Order your wedding in- vitations three months be- fore the wedding date, and begin planning for your honeymoon at this time. Dual-Purpose Furnishings Chances are that living quarters for you, the new Mr. and Mrs., will be rather small, perhaps even as crarnped as a single apartment, while you save or look for that dream house. If space is at a premium in your new home, experts agree that you should con- sider furnishing it with Traditional Weddings Back In Style Traditional weddings -whether they be formal church affairs or intimate, home ceremonies-are very much back in style. The trend is evidenced by a resurgence in the popularity of long, white, flowing gowns . . . and more fine china, crystal and silverware is showing up on gift lists. Another indication of the return to traditional values is the increasing popularity of roses for al/ members of the bridal party. Roses are perfect for wedding bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres, because they signify love, peace and friendship. Another reason for the rose's popularity is the fact that a wedding with a rose theme is simple to plan. Instead of deciding which of the many different blooms available is appropriate for each honored guest, the bride-to-be can simply specit'y roses, and let the florist take it from there. For the bridal bouquet, an ideal combination is a simple arrangement of red and white roses. In the lan- guage of flowers, these two colors used together iii the sale bouquet signif lunity -the perfect thought for startiun married lite. Or, if the color scheme is %aried, here again the rose wiIl it any plan. Unlike man\ other flowers, roses are ivailable in shades of red. pinký, yellow, white, oral, orange, lavender and comribinatilons of red-and- white in a single bloom. t items that are dual- purpose. Fortunately, there are many furnishings now available that help solve space problems, efficiently and fashionably. Sleep-sofas, for in- stance, provide attractive seating while entertaining, convert into comfortable beds when guests depart. Modular wall shelves, drawers, and cabinets pro- vide a smart solution to storage problems when you're cramped for space. TlIese units have the added advantage to being adapt- able to any room. What may serve as a decorative storage system in your living room today, may be put to use in the bedroom of your future home. Wedding Beils Are Ringing! Two months before the wedding, you can select your attendants' gifts and your wedding rings. Now is also a good time to get the mar- rage license, as you will have more and more to do with the approaching wed- ding date. Send out your invitations one month before the wed- ding. You should also make sure the bridesmaids have their gowns fitted at this time and complete the fit- ting of your own gown. If you're planning on a re- hearsal dinner, make ar- rangements now. And, or- der the wedding cake! Your timetable will ac- celerate during the final month, but you can manage beautifully by establishing priorities for the final weeks. Announcements and photo- graphs should be sent to your local newspaper two weeks before the wedding. This is also a good time to plan your seating arrange- ments for the reception and to make out place cards. The week before the wed- ding, plan the rehearsal and visit your beauty salon if needed. Make final ar- rangements with the pho- tographer, florist, caterer and any other services. Keeping a checklist of the many items to be taken care of will help you organize your time efficiently, so that when you serenely walk down the aisle, you'Il have the pleasure of knowing your wedding is as beautiful as you've always dreamed it would be. 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 lhe 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 rëason. 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 exreme 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?
