Tips for summer comfort

SUMMER is here, and with
it comes cookouts at the
lake, warm nights, bronzed
skin, and tennis tourna-
ments.

But it also brings searing
temperatures, high humidity,
and increasingly high energy
bills for air conditioning.

To help you stay cool and
comfortable during these hot
summer months and to
defeat those high energy
bills, just follow these tips
for summer comfort:

*During intense hours of
afternoon sunshine, draw
curtains and close windows

and doors

eHang laundry on a line
outside to avoid using your
clothes dryer; take advan-
tage of that warm summer
air

eBarbecue outdoors
avoid using the oven

eShade windows with
southern exposure with an
overhang or awning — an
especially effective way to
reduce heat gain

*Set air conditioner ther-
mostat at the highest com-
fortable level and avoid tur-
ning up or down — each
degree a thermostat is raised

How do I let friends and
relatives know that we weuld
love to have them attend our
wedding service, but that
there will be nothing follow-
ing?

Also, I would like to have
a big wedding shower, at
feast 100 people, in a hall.
My fiance does not feel this
is proper, because we will
not be having a large wed-
ding.

We are both in our carly
30s, being married for the
first time. We are also the
last in both our families and
among our friends to marry.
We have attended a lot of
showers and weddings
ourselves, over the years,
‘and I feel there is nothing
wrong with my idea; I fee!
that I am entitled to a big
. Shower.

GENTLE READER — Miss
Manners is charmed by the
notion that you are entitled
to a big shower. She has no
doubt that you have also
figured to the penny the
tribute that you are entitled
to collect at this demure
bridal event.

Nevertheless, she is oblig-
ed to inform you that some-
thing is seriously wrong with
your idea: One is not entitled
to give a shower in one’s
own honor. Even relatives of
a bride should not give her a
shower.

Showers are given by
friends. If you have a dear
friend who is spontaneously
moved to do you honor, and

knows that you have other
friends who would enjoy
pleasing you in this way,
perhaps you will have a
bridal shower. Entitlement
has nothing to do with either
friendship or showers.

Miss Manners is not clear
why you do not want to
entertain these 100 people at
a party that you can give,
namely a wedding reception.
You need not, of course,
and may issue invitations to
the ceremony only, omitting
any mention of a celebration
afterward,

usage

Ron Galbraith of
Fiberglas Canada explains:
“Insulation is an extremely
effective energy saving
device in hot summer mon-
ths. In summer, insulation
also works to keep warm air
outside and cool air inside,
therefore, lessening the need
for air-conditioning.”
