' New Guides For Modern Brides < Organizing t new house hold today is actually a study in logistics. Today's bride must know the answers to a ?core of modern, homemaking questions that her mother was never really aware of. What colors or design should I choose in towels, shower curtains, bedspreads and blankets? How many pillow cases will I need. How should the pattern of my sheets co ordinate with the rest of my linens? The "linen trousseau" question most often asked by brides-to-be were recently re searched by the makers of the Fleldcrest bed and bath linens, and here are some of the answers, pointers that are Important to every new home maker. Did you know, for ex ample, that you should stock 3 pillowcases per pillow? And four of each size towel-bath and hand-plus four wash cloths are considered a mini mum per person. A half dozen fingertip towels are basic for guest use. You should plan on having 6 sheets and 2 mattress pads per bed. Each bed ought to have a minimum of one bed spread for summer and one for winter. When decorators finally realized that people spend one-third of their lives in their bedrooms and baths, suddenly these rooms began to reflect the fashion tastes and personalities of the occu pants. The bed took on king and-queen-size elegance, and ao did the bedding. Bath linens have been transformed from the all-white of Grand ma's hope chest days to opu lent decorator items in bright patterns and accent colors. For the bride-to-be this means that stocking the linen closet also requires a lot more knowledge of color values than before. For example, we all know that red goes with white, but a third color, like a deep verdian green can create a striking accent that adds a new sophistication. Similarly, you might try combining black and brown shades with either the palest lemon yel low or a desert pink. Another important fictor is the cool vs. the warm colors. Get to know them, say the decorat ing experts, as they can psychologically affect your rooms. Pinks and oranges can create a warm bedroom; blue and green towels can help give a cool look to the bath room. With the enormous color selection available in bed and bath furnishings to day -in both solids and pat terns- you can match them up right at the counter to suit your own artistic imagina tion. And here's an ingenious suggestion for providing an easy way to recognize the sheet size you need when it's folded in the linen closet. Fieldcrest calls it "color coding" your linens. If you use pastels for all your fitted bottom sheets, floral patterns for all double-size top sheets Chevrolet Pacesetter Values.

All deep tone sheets should be laundered separate ly the first six times or until all the excess dye has been eliminated. That loss of dye does not mean that your linens are fading. An excess of dye is unavoidable in the dyeing process. Another pointer: when fabric soft eners are used excessively, they tend to make towels incapable of absorption. For best results, use softeners oc casionally, but not every time you launder. And terry towels are made to be fluff dried, not ironed. When bleaching, be sure to use as directed. Over-bleach ing will weaken the fabric and dull the colors. When you launder permanent press sheets, enzyme pre-soaking can help remove difficult stains. Then just launder, using the wash-and-wear cycle of your automatic washer. For that elegant and ultra personal touch, the bride-to be might like to have her linens monogrammed. To the question, "Which initials shall I use and in what order?" Fieldcrest reports: use the bride's first, middle and maiden-name initials or her first, middle and married name initials. The married name initial should be the largest of the three, or should appear in the center of the design. However, if the initials happen to spell a three-letter word, Fieldcrest, suggests you choose a mono gram design that will rear range them. The romantic tradition of the "hope chestM--when the young bride's linens were monotonously the same as her mother's and her grand It Is fine to think you are usually right as long as you can keep it a secret. mother's -is gone forever.
