EF or |1 or {1 or $1 13IKE Traditional music at modern weddings now being challenged NEW YORK (■/P)—So you want the traditional “Here Comes the Bride” played at your wedding? The couple it was originally played for didn’t last long to gether—E Isa and Lohengrin from Wagner’s opera. And you want the traditional Mendelsson processional as you leave the church ? That was writ ten for the marriage of a young girl to a satyr, half-man, half horse. Some churches are encourag ing couples to break away from these “traditional” themes and choose hymns or other more ap propriate classical selections. “It’s the hardest thing to dis courage some brides from using them,” says a music director for one church. "I suspect that most brides wouldn’t feel properly married without the traditional music,” says a Brooklyn rabbi, but he adds, “Occasionally, they’ll ask for trash like “Because,” or “More” or “I Love You Truly.” These semi-classical, hearts and flowers songs are also frowned on by some churches. “The interest in these love songs went out 20 years ago. Most churches are stressing that a wedding is a religious service, not the time for love songs,” says a New Jersey music director. “Anything from a movie, a theater or a discotheque, well, we feel it isn’t fitting for the dignity of the service. One cou ple wanted to hear ‘Laura’s Theme.’ We told them, ‘Look, you're dressing formally. It would be like serving hot dogs at a black tie dinner.” Some musical exceptions at conservative churches were: a guitarist playing old English tunes, on the order of “Green- sleeves,” and a drum and bass playing a rock song written es pecially for one bride. The range of songs requested there is incredible. Some chose classical selections from Chopin or List. Others choose songs from Broadway shows like “West Side Story,” “South Pacific” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” Or the theme from the movie “Elvira Madigan” (in the end both lovers die). Some couples pick rock music like a Beatles medley including “Yesterday” (one line is “Yester day, all my troubles seemed so far away”), “Michele,” “Straw berry Fields.” Simon and Gar- funkel songs are used: “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” and “Sounds of Silence.” THE BATTALION Wednesday, March 24, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 3 Bone up on china before making important decision Host & Fashion to sponsor ‘Spring Fling’ fashion show “Spring Fling,” a spring fash ion show featuring the season’s styles from four local shops, will be staged March 31 at Texas A&M by the Host and Fashion Committee.

NEW YORK UP) — All year round these days, prospective brides buy china for themselves, mothers buy china for their en gaged daughters, and friends buy china for bridal showers. To all of them, the china departments at first sight look like a Wonder land of treasures — but chances are that they all end up feeling like Alice at that very confusing tea party! Porcelain, bone china, earthen ware, pottery — different looks, different prices, lots of questions. All this ceramic tableware starts from basic clay, but its process ing before it gets to the store is the key to its final designation. Bone china or porcelain, is generally accepted to be the “up per crust” of the china world, and for very good reason, but other types have virtues all their own and could suit your lifestyle equally well. So consider your budget, your needs and your per sonal taste, and learn something of the characteristics of each and their performance rating before hand. Then, perhaps, you can teach the sales clerk. Despite its fragile appearance, bone china is tough and very re sistant to chipping and breaking. The glaze will not crackle, and if you take care in stacking and storage, bone china tableware can last a lifetime. One of the rea sons is that after the raw ma terial is formed into shapes, it is fired at intensive heat so that the ingredients fuse into a strong translucent body. Another rea son is that the “bone” is literally that — ground beef bones added to give a pure white translu- cency. This little secret was first put into practical use by Eng land’s Josiah Spode in the 1790’s when all European potters were striving to reproduce the porce lain that was being imported from China. Spode’s formula was the first successful one, and is still the one used today for all the world’s finest bone china. Earthenware has older origins. It was the type of ware produced by all the famous English pot teries as they developed in Staf fordshire two hundred or more years ago, and it is perhaps the most appealing of all the pot ter’s art. Earthenware is fired at lower temperatures than bone china, allowing the application of splendid colors that would be lost at higher temperatures. The painting is done under the glaze and is therefore just about in destructible. It costs less than china and its designs tend more towards charm than formal beau ty. Earthenware’s gay patterns and warm colors on its graceful shapes, make it the favorite of many people who use it with imagination to create unusual casual settings. But it can adapt equally well to more formal oc casions, depending on the acces sories used with it. Earthenware is often called by other names — faience, semipor celain, ironstone, and so on — but your best guarantee of getting a hard, chip-resistant body with a smooth brilliant glaze is the rep utation of the manufacturer. EARTHEN WARE, like that pictured above, creates a charming luncheon table with a simple, rustic theme. The pattern is “Blue Bird” by Spode’s. The durability and at tractiveness of this type of tableware explains its well- deserved reputation through generations. (AP Wirephoto) AGGIE SPECIALS ALL AGGIES ENTITLED TO 15?
