Water mineral build-uon gold and platinum embossing can be cleaned o'ecassionally with a metal cleaner. A table set with china can be dressed up or down, depending on the colors and accessories used. Ms. Ko- -' lalor suggested establishing a "table-towardrobe," possibly adapting designer sheets as an option for less expensive tablecloths p p and bowls. Flatware, now designed in a multitude of "fashion forward" patterns, according to Ms. Gerber, can be se lected to complement china and cry patterns. W ith the expense of sterling, more couples are turning to silverplate or even mot e formally designed stainless, including patterns with gold trim. Dishwasher Safe Whether stainless or silverplate Ms. Gerber said flatware is dishw but, like metal embossing on china, gold trim car, be softened by the high temperatures. Let the e cool before removing it from the dishwasher. e When setting the formal table, should be arranged to allow 24 inches for each place. Forks and spoons, it more than one of each will be used, should be set from the in the order of use. Putting flatware on the napkin is inappropriate, according to Ms. White, who said that napkins used in formal dining should be folded in a simple square so the guest has only to pull one corner to unfold it. "Napkins folded in all kinds of shapes may make interesting conversation pieces, but at a formal dinner everything should be designed for the ease and comfort of the guest." A point of etiquette Ms. White considers most important but which seems less and less recognized is that the hostess be seated and start the meal before others proceed. At a formal dinner, that rule serves as a safeguard to guests who watch what the hostess does and follow her lead. Fven for casual meals at home, Ms. White suggested abiding by the rule to teach children. "No one should pick up a single piece from the table until the hostess dues. If vou do that at home, it will ash-er-sa- flat-war- flat-war- come natui all) at a more formal dinner." Ms White discussed where water goblets aperitif and wine glasses, coffee cups and saucers go in a formal setting explaining that each should be icmoved as are the dishes from the course with which reived The exception is water goblets which stay on the table tin oughout the meal. When fine crystal stemware is used, special piecautions should be taken to wash it afterward. crystal, Ms. White explained, has the highest amount of lead possible in glass. As a result of Hie 33 percent lead content, the crystal is soft compared to other glass, expanding and contracting with changing temperatures. AloO because of its softness, d crystal should not be washed in the dishwasher because it can become permanently marked b) the force of dishwasher detergent as it's expelled from its basket, Ms. White warned. She suggested washing crystal in hot. soapy water (let it stand at room temperature 3U minutes or more first), then rinse in warm water. To prevent spotting, she rinses a glass once, then squirts it with Glass Plus. rinses again and sets it in a dishwasher rack that has been pulled out so the crystal can air dry. Storing Crystal In storing the crystal, leave a small space between each space to accommodate the swelling and contraction in changing temperatures. Another helpful tip from Ms. W lute in caring for glass products is to use a carbonated soda to help remove yellow acid stains caused by wine or stagnant water in a vase. "It may not remove the stain immediately; it takes as long as it takes." the Waterford representative said, adding that she poured cola into a decanter daily for one year before the acid stain was completely gone. To prevent stains she suggested not leaving wine in a glass decanter overnight or longer. For flowers, use one part lemon-lim- e soda to three parts water. The carbonated drink not only prevents the stain. Ms. W hite said, it also seems to extend the life of cut flowers.

Norm has a mouth full of braces, so (theres you can imagine how bad his mouth and braces were torn up. This happened six months ago and he still has problems with his teeth.
