CARAT WEIGHT: Diamonds are measured by a tiny unit of weight called a carat. There are 100 points to a carat. Therefore, \ a 30 point diamond is equal to a

As far back as can be remem- bered, the diamond has always symbolized love and betrothal There was an ancient belief that diamonds had magical powers and worked as love potions. To be effective, however, the dia- mond had to be set so that it touched the skin. Also, the dia- mond had to be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand be- cause it was believed the vein of love ran from this finger direct- ly to the heart.

The name ‘‘diamond’”’ was de- rived from the Greek work ‘‘ad- |amas.”’ When translated, this means invincible, unconquerable

will probably be faced with the question

“Which is better for a newly-

wed couple, renting an apart- ment or buying a home” For the young couple, the ma-

jor expense of a down payment on a house is usually too much.

Renting is less expensive since there is less upkeep ») taxes, and fewer incidentia] like heat- ing Also, you may not want to have to furnish a whole house all at once

several facts to keep in mind. | First, remember that the larger the downpayment and the short- er the term of the mortgage

loan, the less the house will cost in the long run

For instance, a $15,000 mort- gage at six per cent interest paid over 15 years will cost you about half the cost of the origin- al loan in interest. If paid in 25 years, interest will cost almost nine-tenths of the original loan.

Meney counselors advise allowing two and one- half times annua! tncome for purchase of a home. But don't forget the wife who is working at the time of her marriage may not be employed a year later. And children also will increase costs and cut down on money available
