PAGE 29-SUPPLEMENT TO'McHENRY PLAINDEALER-NOV. 24, 1972 More Than 2,000,000 Couples Now Candidates for Silver Gifts Special Gifts Deserve Distinctive Wrappings9 Careful Handling While the rest of the fam­ ily's dreaming of a white Christmas, Dad can solve his gift problems this year with a sterling silver one. There couldn't be a better time for entertaining such an idea, because both marriages and silver wedding anniver­ saries are soaring to unpre­ cedented highs in 1971. Many of the 2.3 million marriages predicted this year will occur during the holi­ days -- for December's the third favorite month for weddings. And no matter what month the silver anniversary's cele­ brated, Christmastime is sure to see a silver deluge for an­ niversary celebrants. With such excellent rea­ sons for gift-giving, the only thing remaining is for Dad to choose the "perfect" gift for both mother and daughter. And the problem couldn't be easier to solve. Consider, for instance, the girl who's getting married. Chances are that she picked a sterling silver pattern even before she picked her favor­ ite boy friend. In fact, according to a re­ cent magazine survey of teenage girls, the average age at which they actually begin to collect their sterling is 14. This enthusiastic response can mean only one thing -- sterling silver flatware is something the bride-to-be very much wants. And place settings are what she needs, first and foremost. The parents' gift of enough place settings to meet her entertaining needs forms the basis for those special com­ pany meals she'll serve the rest of her life. Even if she receives addi* tional gifts of place settings from relatives or friends, the parents' gift gives her the security of a basic set upon which to build. For mother, the gift solu­ tion could well be a serving piece to add to her set of sterling. Many of the women who are observing their sil­ ver anniversary this year did not receive sterling at the time of their marriage, for silver sets were in very short supply during and after the war. They may have received -- or bought for themselves -- a few place settings in the succeeding years. Chances are, however, that they sim­ ply don't have enough of the serving pieces which are so important. And there's nothing that spoils the looks of a pretty dinner table so much as the odds and ends of flatware which "make do" when com­ pany comes. Now's the time to help cor­ rect this lack, for with the children grown, most women generally have more time -- and incentive -- for enter­ taining. There are the essential serving pieces which are available in all sets of ster­ ling: butter serving knife, tablespoon, cream or sauce ladle, gravy ladle, sugar spoon, and olive or pickle fork. Others, which aren't used quite as often, but which add much to the looks of both dining and buffet tables, are: flat server, salad serving set, pierced tablespoon, pie or cake knife, cheese serving knife, and bon bon or nut spoon. There's no generation gap when it comes to the appre­ ciation of something as pre­ cious and beautiful as ster­ ling silver -- as any man who If that special girl on your gift list is going to receive a diamond or other piece of jewelry be sure that the wrapping is just as special. Velvet ribbons flowing over textured wrapping paper -- color coordinated -- is one way to let her know some­ thing Important is inside. Another suggestion is to use embroidered fabric as the gives sterling flatware to the women In his life this Christ­ mas is sure to discover! wrapping and tie with color­ ful ribbort Because the ring jewelry box is probably small in size it's a good idea to place the gift box inside a larger one, being sure to secure the present with Insulation. Brand new savings account makes a good stocking stuff- er for Baby. Special accounts can be opened for very small deposits. On birthdays or other special occasions, the giver can add new deposits.
