Newlyweds Should
Buy Home, Advice
New YorK-lUPB-lmmediate
ownership of a home with a
good resale value is one of
the soundest ways for newly
weds to build for the future.
Low down payment and
convenient financing make it
possible for newlyweds with
limited funds to move Into
new homes. Usually such
homes are found in planned
communities In which young
couples with similar objec
tives make lasting friend
ships. The Tile Council of Amer
ica reports that buying in a
tract Is fine, provided the
house Incorporates sufficient
quality features to assure Its
resale value.

the 'Oddest'
little while" a coffin.
"What do you want with
a coffin," the manager ask
ed. "Rent it to me and you'll
see," the displeased customer
said.
But the firm that rents
most everything on the home
front had to stick to its "sor
ry, no" on both counts. The
reason: too little demand for
rental coffins and glasses
shaped like Jayne.
, Milton Cohen, general man
agter of a rent-all firm, cited
the two cases during an inter
view.
Nationwide Firm
His firm, Hertz, has been
in the nationwide rent-any
thing for home business for
two years now.
And Cohen, who once
taught psychology, says he's
learning more about human
behavoir at his present post
than he ever did In the psy
chology laboratories.
Some folks, for example,
want to rent things laden
with status, including pictures
and posies. Even antiques are
stocked.
"The hottest antique is a
200-year old platter," he said.
"Of course, we send the pedi
gree with the rental. People
who want to impress other
people with antiques want to
be able to talk authoritatively
about the antique."
The more then 300 items
in stock range from A for
ashtray to Z, for zither.
There's even an "I-V stand"
doctors use to hold the bottle
of plasma when given a trans
fusion or feeding patient in
travenously. But sick people
aren't the only one to rent
this particular item.
Medical Equipment -
Once a customer who rent
ed the medical equipment
called to complain.
"Where's the bottle that
goes with it," he said.
"The doctor usually sup
plies the bottle," she was
told.
"But I'm having a party,"
she explained. "I need the
bottle. I want to put Bloody
Marys in it."
Cohen said he knows before
the first robin appears that
springs about to pop every
year.
That s when matrons, espec
ially in the suburbs, line up
to rent reducing machines.
They want to look trim in
warm weather clothes, includ
ing bathing suits.
Household Equipmtnt
"The practical principle be
hind renting household equip
ment only when needed
without having to buy or
store them seems to have
caught on most solidly with
wives and career girls," Co
hen said.
Young marrieds invariably
rent party supplies for gath
erings of from eight to 12
people. This continues until
their first non-party rental
a package including bassinet,
buggy and sometimes a guest
bed for a sleep In nurse.
"When these Items show
up, the need for party items
temporarily dwindle almost
to zero," Cohen said.
The single girls most often
rent punch bowls
The bachelor's request isn't
too hard to fathom.
A recent bachelor order:

a tape recorder.

The women plan to return

Start planning well in ad
vance of the big day for the

garments for your trousseau.
For a versatile group to fit
any occasion, the National
Cotton council suggests that
you include at least one long
hostess gown, a sophisticated
pants-and-tunlc ensemble, and
a short brunch coat.
Cottons Richer
Once you've setled on the
styles you like, fabrics can
be selected In complementing
colors and designs. Whether
you're planning a softly femi

ed one. you'll find there's a
cotton fabric to interpret the
look. This summer's offering
of cotton piece goods is richer
and more varied than ever be
fore, starting with handsome
ly textured fabrics and run
ning through to exotic water
color prints. Because they're
easy to sew and wash like a
dream, they're Ideal for at

For a long hostess gown
with an air of elegance,
choose a pattern with simple
lines and a fabric that's high
in texture interest. Especially
suitable are cotton brocades,
piques, ribbed ottomans,
cloques. and matelasses.
Every trousseau should In
clude one truly sophisticated
outfit, designed to accentuate
your particular personality. If
you like tunlc-and-pants en
sembles with a Far Eastern
look, your best fabric bet is
lustrous cotton satin - either

Expert Gives
Tips on Toasts
For Weddings
Champagne is the sunshine
of the bridal feast.
It is held high, sparkling
in sparkling glasses, as the
first toast by the best man to
the bridal couple. Whether at
wedding breakfast or after
noon or evening reception, it
is the traditional wine for
wedding toasts.
For those who are planning
simple home affairs without
catering help, there are sev
eral things to know about
champagne, according to Ber
nard Wiernik, president of
CVA company, marketer of
Cresta Blanca wines. A good
domestic champagne costs
about $4 a bottle and serves
eight persons.
Chill
Champagne should be
chilled two hours or packed
in an Ice bucket for 30 min
utes. If it's chilled too long,
however, Its bouquet can be
destroyed, wine experts warn.
They say 43 degrees is cold
enough. There's a choice of
medium-dry and dry cham
pagnes, and pink champagne
is a favorite, too.
As to the etiquette of wed
ding toasts, after the best man
has offered his to the wedding
couple, the bridegroom stands
and makes a toast to "my
bride my wife." The bride
does not drink, but all others
do. It is permissible then to
toast parents, grandparents,
and the officiating clergyman.
Brief Toasts
Traditionally, we Amer
icans do not feel particularly
comfortable with toasts. Per
haps this is due to the stream
lined pace of our lives or the
lack of tradition that's cen
turies old. For this reason it is
customary to keep wedding
toasts brief and to a minimum
in number. An acceptaole,
easy form is "To Mary and
Bob. May their life be a long
and happy one."
If you are a non-drinker, It
is not good form to "turn
down" your wine glass at a
wedding reception, the eti
quette books inform. You
may correctly touch your lips
to your glass when a toast is
offered. This is preferable to
raising a water glass.
Foods Cost Less
Because of Research
Director Declares
University Park, Pa. - HIPP
The housewife today pays
smaller percentage of the
family income for food than
she did 15 years ago because
of agricultural research, ac
cording to Henry R. Fort
mann of Pennsylvania State
university.
Fortmann, assistant direct
or of the Agricultural Experi
ment Station at Penn State,
said food costs now claim
only 20 per cent of the family
income compared to 26 per
cent in 1947.
Fortmann made the state

of the International Crop Im

The brunch coat - a "must"
