The second important toast ing occasion is at the bachelor dinner party given by the bridegroom for his ushers, best man and close friends. After the bridegroom of fers a toast to his bride, the stems of the glasses are brok en so they may never be used for a "less honorable pur pose." The next toasting comes the night before the wedding. At the rehearsal dinner, it is traditional for the father of the bride to make the first of the many toasts which are offered. The final toasting takes place at the couple's wedding reception. Suggested bridal toasts in clude: "As unto the bow the cord is, so unto the man is woman. Though she draws him, yet she follows: useless each with out the other."-Henry Wads worth Longellow. "Let the bells ring for you; let the angels sing for you.

Lots of Terrific Buys Still Left Shop Balcony 2nd Floor 1st Floor mm BOOKS ily knocked off and likely to be one of the most repeated designs in all price ranges "Knocked off" means to copy a design in cheaper ver sions. In constant use are such terms as "understated ele gance" and "the little noth ing" dress. The first refers to a woman's ability to dress like a million but not look as if she's spending all that dough. As for the little nothing dress, Mrs. John F. Kennedy wears it constantly - sleeveless, nar row silhouette. No trim, no clutter. Snippet New Designers get carried away with names for their favorite silhouettes. New this year is the snippet, used to describe a two-piece look to a one-piece dress, and the missile, which is a long formal gown hugging the figure to the knee, then flared out to the hem, like the flanges on a rocket. But skirts are never flared in the parlance of garment showrooms. They're mobile. Wool never is sheer; it's a chiffon souffle. Mesh is not simply lightweight; it's a ze phyr. Taffeta is whispering silk. Long or short gowns in the overall metallic embroid eries are not simply jewelled dresses; they're maharanees. Incidentally, a buyer at one Seventh avenue fashion show took a look at a model done out in one of those over all metallics and quipped, "she looks like she's dressed in brillo." Perhaps it's in describing colors that the industry gets furthest carried away. This year, black is onyx. Gray is shadow. A dull copper is whis key. Brown is mahogany. Em erald is Picasso green. Orange red is red wing and white now is white jade. All this re-naming of colors once led Kenneth Collins, the late columnist of Women's Wear Daily, to some com ments on color nonsense -and to include a letter he'd received from a reader in Rome, Ga. Mrs. McDill M. Gassman had enclosed this poetic bit: "There was a day when grey was grey "And black 'tis said was black; "And white was white - or so they say, "But that was some years back. "Now grey is dingy, drab or dun "And black is SMEAR or sable, "Or even soot - or some times - sloe "(Believe this if you're able). "Now, white is never sim ply white . "(Right here my senses quiver!) "For white is pearl or, help my soul "It's even - chicken liver." Grandsons Visit From Missouri Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bailey and their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

The second, that of the class of 1942, drew about 140 graduates from far and near. Pictured here before dinner are Special Dietary Food Regulations Being Overhauled; Comments Sought Washington, D.C. A ma jor overhaul of the nation's special dietary food regula tions has been called for by the Food and Drug adminis tration. The proposals aimed at changing these regulations were published in the Feder al Register. Interested per sons were invited to submit comments in writing within 60 days. The regulations would cov er vitamin, mineral and other dietary supplements, baby foods, foods for the elderly, low sodium foods, low calor ie and artificially sweetened foods, proiein supplements, hypoallergenic foods, foods for use in dietary manage ment of disease, and all other foods represented as having special dietary properties. FDA Commissioner George P. Larrick said that the na tion has added greatly to its knowledge of nutrition since the original regulations of 1941 were promulgated, and that great changes have tak en place in the production and marketing of dietary foods. He said these develop ments call for a major over haul of the regulations. The objective of the regulations is to assure the public that special dietary foods are of fered for what they actually are, with complete informa tion to facilitate intelligent purchasing and use. Not Informed "The average purchaser of vitamin-mineral supplements is not well informed about his needs for supplementing his usual diet with these nu tritional factors. He can eas ily be led to believe that his diet is likely to be inade quate in one or several of these nutrients, and that a great many conditions of ill health may result from his possibly inadequate diet." Mr. Larrick said. "He has been encouraged to select supplements contain ing many times the dally re quirements of most, if not all, of the nutrients. And he has been led to choose the prod uct with the greatest number of ingredients in the belief that each ingredient makes a significant addition to his cus tomary d i e t," Mr. Larrick continued. Eliminate Falie Claims "The proposed regulations," Mr. Larrick explained, "are designed to provide the con sumer with complete and re liable labeling information which will enable him to se lect and purchase special di etary foi.ils of all kinds. This will help to eliminate false and misleading claims." Following is a summary of the principal changes which would he made by the propos ed regulations. Consumers of vitamin-mineral food supplements today ll Women's News encounter a great variety of tablets, capsules, powders, et cetera, containing as high as 50 to 75 ingredients, of which only a few have been shown to be of any value whatever as food supplement?. It is virtually impossible for the consumer to make a rational choice based on the relative merits of these "shotgun" for mulas. Essentials Noted The proposed regulations permit label claims of special dietary value only for those nutrients that are generally recognized as essential in hu man nutrition and that, in the amounts provided, are likely to be of value in supplement ing the American diet. If. a nutrient is subject to deterioration the new regula tions would require an expir ation date to be determined by the manufacturer. Under the present regula tions foods represented as sources of any of six specified vitamins and four minerals known to be needed in human nutrition must be labeled to show the proportion of the 'minimum daily require ment" that is present. Wording Change Noted The term "minimum daily requirement" has been fre quently misunderstood by consumers, and has encourag ed some manufacturers to add needlessly large amounts of some vitamins and minerals. In the proposed regulations the term "daily requirement" is used in place of "minimum daily requirement." Foods for use in reducing or weight control diets would be required to state the num ber of calories in a one-day supply or in one uniti if the food is in wafers, tablets, cap sules, et cetera. The amount in grams, of protein, fat and carbohydrates consumed In a one-day supply would also be stated. Foods for reducing would be required to bear this prom inent label declaration: "Use ful only when used as a part of a caloric-contrnlled diet." Non-Fattening Defined To be described as "non fattening" a food could con tain not more than 5 calories in a serving or 10 calorics in a one-day supply. To be described as low calorie" a food could contain not more than 15 calorics in a serving or 30 calorics In a one-day supply. To be described as "lower in calories" the label would be required to state the name and caloric content of the food with which it is com pared. Artificially sweetened foods would be required to show the calories saved as compared with the same food with na tural sweetening.

Protein consumption in the United States is more than 100 grams per person daily. whereas the average adult needs only about 30 grams daily of the proteins supplied by the ordinary diet. Protein Quality The proposed regulations would require foods offered as sources of protein to be labeled in terms of their pro tein quality and quantity. Specifications that entitle a food to be described as "ex cellent'' or "good" dietary sources of protein, are propos ed. Foods which do not meet these specifications could not bear protein claims. Only minor changes are proposed In the existing reg ulations on labeling low so dium foods and Infant form ulas.

Furniture Buying Tips Given for Young Couples By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International Chicago - HiPl) - It's t h e lucky young couple which fur nishes the first apartment on a strictly limited budget, says Sam Sorkin, a Chicago in terior designer. He maintains "the less money newlyweds have for furniture, the fewer mistakes they're apt to make." Sorkin said it has been his experience that, given the money, newlyweds tend to buy too much furniture for the small apartment or house. He said many also make the mistake of buying oversize pieces, such as those huge sectionals that cover two walls of the living room -sometimes three. Sorkin can't figure out "where they find them." He's appalled, too, by the taste many newlyweds show for large dining room tables some large enough to seat 16 persons - despite the fact that the apartment may be too small to entertain more than eight or ten for tea or cock tails - let alone dinner. Sorkin's advice: buy a standard-size or smaller sofa for a starter, along with a sin gle compact, but comfortable arm chair - not a pair of chairs. He considers these seating pieces, along with a small dinette set, end tables and lamps sufficient to set up housekeeping as far as the front rooms go. Thumbs Down Sorkin turned thumbs down on buying large pieces of fur niture on the theory that a couple may be moving to a larger place in a year or two. "The chances are," said Sor kin, "that the next apartment will be bigger only in having one more room - for a baby." For newlyweds who must furnish piece-meal, Sorkin ad vised starting with a complete plan for exactly what is to be purchased as finances permit and precisely where it is to be placed. A color-scheme, too, must be set in advance and adhered to closely. Without planning, Sorkin cautioned, the end result is certain to be uncoordinated. The individual pieces, bought on Impulse, may have appeal ed at the time of purchase, but they won't go together. Forego Rugs If a couple on a budget has to forego something by way of initial furnishings, make it the rug and draperies, Sorkin advised. He suggested using textured or otherwise interest ing window shades 'til the budget allows for draperies and points out that well-pol Since you prepared food and heated water or -the Saturday night bath on a stove with "all the modern conveniences''? Since you took a horse-powered Sunday afternoon drive? oco -"e ished hardwood floors can b more elegant than a make-do rug. In settling on a color scheme, pass up the high fashions - green one year, vio let the next - and base tho selection on personal tastes, the amount of daylight in another room and eomparabln factors. Bright, sunny rooms, for example, may be best suited to cool blues and greens; the dim room may require light, bright colors. Try to avoid, too, th "cliches" in decorating - tha silver ashtrays and silent but ler that have become virtually standard equipment for tha coffee table in many homes. Accessories should, instead, reflect a couple's travels, in terests, as in antiques, and artistic tastes. Sorkin's final word of ad vice to brides: Let your hus band help decide on every purchase. "Many men seem to hava as much and sometimes mora taste than women ir: furnish ings," he said.
