ARRANGING THE LIVING ROOM FOR FIRST TIME Arranging the furniture for the very first time in your own home whether it be an apartment or house, is a thrilling moment never to be forgotten. In this room the informal embossed pat- tern of the rug complements other textures in a room with a Colonial theme and the arrangement gives a feeling of spaciousness. Dress For Mother Of The Bride Should Be In Flattering Style The bride's mother owes it to herself, her family and al) her friends to look her most delight- ful at her daughier's wedding. All too often, a woman feels that this particular day calls for @ particular way of dressing, a way that isn't her own at all. Today, a woman who is the | proud mother of a marriageable daughter is not considered a matron "'on the shelf." On the contrary she is a mature person enjoying the peak years of her life. She has poise, wisdom and graciousness. More often than not she has an excellent figure ' will | and a knowledge of the type of | clothes that are most becoming | to her. | The dress she chooses for the | wedding should be so smart and | SO flattering that it will be worn | again and again, a favorite in | her wardrobe. Whether it be street of floor- | length depends to a large de- | gree, on the kind of wedding | rather than the time of day. It | is courteous to discuss this point with the groom's mother, ahead lof time, so that both dresses be in the same general | mood. Whatever the decision, the' bride's mother should feel at home in her choice, knowing, from experience, that the fab- ric, color and style are right for her. While being fitted, it is wise to put on the'bra, girdle and slip she intends to wear the day of the wedding. Then the correct alterations can be made on all, if necessary. Special . attention should be given to the back of the dress as the bride's mother usually has: to walk the length of a church aisle on an_ usher's arm. The way the skirt flows in movement, the cut and detail- ing across the back of the shoul- | ders, waist and hips -- are all important. Attitudes toward money, as much or more than the absence of it, can cause an incredible amount of friction in the home of the newlywed young couple. Says Theodore Hackman, a caseworker at one of Commun- ity Service Society's centres, "Money is made up of emotion- al components. A. relaxed, ma- ture couple can share it with- out resentment. Each can save and spend without reproaching the other. For them, money is a love, faith and benevolence." But money may be utilized negatively, he says, to give vent 'to hate, hostility, spite and ig- norance. '""The husband may be a. tightwad, so his. wife retal- jiates by overspending when she has a chance. Or she: may be counting heavily' on his getting a raise, and when he doesn't, she'll take it out on him by not getting supper." Hackman points out money is one of the easiest subjects to fight about because it is so tan- gible and current. The manage- ment of available funds may be the actual area of disagree- ment, or the dollar fight may serve as an escape hatch in which to blow up on other topics of disagreement. Hackman is sympathetic with young couples who haven't the experience or maturity to oper- ate on a restricted budget. "It's not easy to postpone buying the hi-fi, or to hang on to the old car a little longer." Money, he adds, will stay in its proper place when couples learn that its expenditure is a matter of joint sharing and planning, with a high percent- age of compromise. He points out that friction is Attitudes Toward Money Are Basis Of Many Fights likely to develop if the couple wants to duplicate the standard of living in the two homes they have left, rather than being pa- tient to start married life on a much simpler Jevel. "Realisic expression of money matters, before marr -age is most vital for teen-age couples,"' he comments. *'Mutu- al goals must be arrived at. The two must feel they are sharing money, rather than competing over it. Slso, they must indicate to each other what aspects of living are so important that they are willing to do without in other areas to gain them." He cites as an example the mutual desire of one couple to set aside savings for one record a month, "It was all they could afford, but it was terribly im- portant in their lives."
