American homemakers prefer contempo rary furniture, to the traditional. And the preference, growing steadily year by year, was born nearly a quarter of a century ago in the need for simplicity that arrived with the depression of the 30"s. A spokesman for the Ameri can furniture mart here said 60.8 per cent of the pieces shown at the last market were of con temporary design. And, he add ed, to be shown means to be bought. The remainder of the furni ture displayed fell in the tradi tional categories such as early American and French provin cial, with none showing a mark ed attraction for the buyers. Contemporary furniture, he said, is middle-of-the-road. "It's neither radical nor reac tionary and certainly not screw ball modern," he explained. As an example, he showed a dresser in contemporary design and described it as having "square, tailored lines, a light finish, with no dust-catching decorations." Such pieces, he said first came to public notice at the Century of Progress exhibition in 1933- 34, during the lean years, and have been demanding more space in furniture departments ever since. They were a natural develop ment from the depression-born need "to cut down on excessive decoration," he added.

Mrs. Irene Woods, 41, who has had six children in five years and 11 months, is so busy with the kids she doesnt' have time for a house hold schedule. The Woods house, she said, sometimes "needs a little dust ing" but the children outrank housework. The offspring, all single births, are Scott, 3 months; Dale, 1; Bruce, 2; Dennis, 3; Charlene, 4; and Charles, nearly 6, who is the only one attending school. "It's a full-time job," she said. "Sometimes the house needs dusting, but the housework will keep, and my children come first. "If I watched the clock and thought that it was time to do this and then time to do that, I'd have to interrupt one job to do another." The clan's father, Charles, complicates the household rou tine since he is a restaurant cook and works different hours each day. "This makes a schedule all but impossible," she said, "except that we try to have dinner to gether every day." Mrs. Woods frequently does two full-sized laundries daily, budgets the family paycheck for a half dozen quarts of milk each day and doesn't buy anything re sembling a luxury item.

And, there are other ways the homemaker can save money says Mary Carter, director of foods research for the Sheraton hotels chain. Just use common sense in shop ping and food preparation to put the holiday-deflated budget back into shape, she advised. Miss Carter, fortyish and a graduate of the New Jersey Col lege for Women, said many women overcook food. "Don't cook food too long," she said. "It only ruins the taste of a vegetable or a perfectly good cut of meat. "If you cook only the exact amount required and season to taste, you'll save fuel bills and eliminate left-overs," Miss Car ter said. The food researcher says every housewife should insist on a balanced menu for her family. "If you serve plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, though, you won't have to do as much plan ning," she added. - "Everyone should have an egg and at least a pint of milk a day," Miss Carter said. Miss Carter estimates she spends three weeks of every month preparing or serving food. And her favorite dish roast beef, rare. "Roast beef doesn't take much imagination to prepare, but I just love it," she exclaimed. Miss Carter has been working with food ever since she was graduated from college.' She joined the hotel chain last year. After years of trying to please the palate. Miss Carter's enthusi asm for cooking hasn't dimmed a bit. "With me, cooking is a creative art," she says. 4 Raisins for cakes and breads will be plump and juicy if soak ed in warm water before being added to batter or dough.

Glove Buyer Declares Hands Getting Bigger Sydney, Australia (U.R) Women's hands are getting big ger all the time at least in Australia. That's the verdict of W. T. Brown on retiring at 82 after 16 years of glove-buying and 57 years with a big Sydney depart ment Btore. "Years ago," said Brown, "size six was the most popular women's glove. Now we sell more of the six and three-quarters, and sevens." Brown's theory is that the big ger hands are a result of "all this carrying of parcels our womenfolk have to do these days."
