Suggested Toasts
Given for Couples
At Bridal Events
New York-IUPII-The first oc
casion for toasting the bride
and bridegroom is at the en
gagement announcement party-
Traditionally, say etiquette
experts, it is the custom for
the father of the bride to
offer the toast, frllowed by
a tnast from the father of
the bridegroom.
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.
Let the children dance for
you and let us drink to you."

"To the health of the bride
and groom. May they always
be as joyous as this wine and
as constant as these good
wishes, which are eternal."

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."

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. If the com-

parison itself shows- that the
caloric change is insignificant,
artificial sweetening should
not be used.
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.

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

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.
