Mr. Churjon says most good china will withstand normal household use but he offers a few suggestions for its care:

‘Food acids and alkalivin de- tergents and soaps will attack | the colors on china if you let| dishes stand unrinséd. Rinse| them off after use and never) allow them to dry with deter- | gent or soap solution on them. |

“You should never exceed | the manufacturer's recom- mendation in the quantity of | soap or detergent you use. The | temperature of washing water doesn't usually matter but if you have excess detergent with | water over 400 degrees—this is where trouble comes with dish- | washers — the combination is definitely harmful.”

Never stack china without a protective layer between pieces | or wash it while wearing a diamond ring. The surface of ! china is hard enough to resist scratching by utensils but one piece of china can scratch an- other and so can a diamond. |

Mr. Churton says cups should not-be stacked if- possible. | |Stacking may cause impact | fractures, especially at thé;

Planning music for ceremonies

Too many brides take their wedding music for granted

That's the complaint of band leader Tony Cabot whose chestra has played for numer- ous society parties and wed- dings.

First, Cabot says too many brides don't bother selecting their music at all. They assume the organ will play “Here Com- s The Bride’ as they -valk down the aisle, and they ‘make

or-

}no plans for the type of music

fer the reception

Cabot believes that if the wed- ding ceremony does not take place in a church, a string quar- tet can play the traditional mus-

ic. He says that in a hotel, a hall | or private home, the organ is jout of place

For the reception line right after the ceremony, Cabot sug- \ eats what he calls ‘ice cream

| music,"’ light calssical pieces |which provide an attractive background without intruding

Remember, he says, the bride should be the star‘on her wed- ding day

The bride should shine also at the reception, and Cabot warns prospective brides to find out exactly what they're getting when they plan their receptions.

Is the orchestra included in the price? Will the bride have any choice of what type of music she wants, or who she wants, playing it? Im any case, the bride should confer with the or chestra leader before the recep- tion

Let him know what type of music is preferred. Is the music for dancing or for background?
