FRESCO SHEEP EKER ERT Te ee ee ee ee '] we fifid that the bride is re- ceiving it from the groom's par- ents. This appears to be a grow- ing trend, and a very sensible one, particularly phen glass can be given by place settings as is the custom with china and sil- buying glass; but how about the ways of recognizing quality when you chose your glas? Here are a few pointers. Hand- made glassware falls int two classifications hand-blown and pressed (or molded). "Hand- blown" is the prodess used in manufacturing such stemware as goblets, cocktail glases, and $0 on, and the adjective is truly descriptive. The glas is literally "blown" into shape by experts. "Pressed"? or "molded'"' glass usually applied to heavier pieces such as plates, bowls and the like. It contains lime for tough- ver. What, you may ask, con- stitutes a glass place setting? TWO CATEGORIES We believe that properly speaking, glass should be di- vided into two caegories one for the table, the other for the living room. A _ basi tacble setting might very well consist of these three pieces--water goblet, me- dium wine glass, champagne glass that may be used for fruit cup or sherbert as well as shrimp or oyster cocktail. In the living-room setting, we include a highball glass for all hard or soft drinks, and old - fashioned glass that is equally useful for breakfast fruit juice, and the ubi quitous cocktail glass. These may match the table glass in pattern, or they may be 'more colorful and less ex- pensive. Another glass place set- ting that is very useful includes five pieces: goblet, sherbet, iced+ tea, juice and salad plate. Or you may prefer to make up your own giass place setting to suit your particular needs. It is a simple matter to file your pattern and place setting plan with the gift registry of your favorite store.

"Open stock' means patterns that you can be assured will continue to be sold over a period of time, so that you can acquire more items in your pattern, or make future re- placements. When you start to use your giassware, make a habit of fol- lowing a few simple rules which will add beauty and long life te this flittering possession. For instance, never hold a _ piece of stemware under the hot-water faucet..The sudden and unever heat may cause.it to crack. When pouring very hot liquids into a bowl or glass, put a silver spoon inside it first to absorb some of the heat. Don't stack glasses, one in- side the other because thev're apt to stick. And if they do, fill the inner one with cold wa- ter and immersi the outer one in warm water. They wilf then come apart quite easily without danger of cracking. If you wash your glasses in a dishwasher, use the recommended type of cleaner, and allow them to dry right in the rack) they. will emerge dazzling and shiny. If you wash them by hand, try one of the excellent deter- gents or liquid washing agents. rinse in hot water, and set the glasses to dry in a rubber-coat- ed dish drainer. This method Saves a good deal of elbow grease, and guarantees a shine that's hard to duplicate with the most prolonged hand polishing. The decoration of glassware is THE OSHAWA. TIMES, Thuswdsay; Jonuery 20, 1966 TIA Offers Swamp Bride-Elect Once your engagement an- nouncement appears in the newspaper prepare to be delig- ed with mail. Commented one young bride-to-be, "I never know theré were so many firms involved in putting on a wed- ding." She was swamped with offers from photographic firms to pic- ture everything from studio por- traits to complete and candid coverage of the wedding. She was urged to buy beau- tifully bound leather books for her guests to sign, for her news- paper clippings, and for the sig- natures of visitors to her new home. Department stores wanted to custom-design her dress, even coming to her home with models and samples. Bridal consultants offered to take over all wedding details, leaving her free to do little more than walk to the altar. Serious-minded book publish- | interesting and varied. It may be etched, cut or engraved. Cut- tings are usually quite deep, sharp and sparkling. Engraving is often used to decorate glass with a lovely, beautifully mo- delled flora] design, figure, or other dominant motif. ers suggested she purchase their volumes on success in marriage, and the sociology department of a nearby university wanted her to fill in a soul-searching ques- tionaire on why she was attract- ed to the groom in the first place. Most intriguing of all the of- fers was a firm to design a marquee, just for her wedding reception. The firm liberally sprinkled the names of several socially prominent brides in their communique, and stressed the importance of the right-hued marquee to blend with the wed- ding color scheme.
