Contemporary Design
For Furniture Said
Most Popular Now
Chicago (U.P.) 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.

So You Think You're
Busy? Read This
Burbank, Calif. (U.P.) 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.

Jaycettes Hear
Talk on Fashions
The exciting "new" in fashion
this year is fabrics, according to
Mrs. Bert Pree, speaking before
the Medford Jaycettes at their
meeting Wednesday evening.
"Cottons don't look like cotton
and materials that appear to be
silk actually are not," Mrs. Pree
said.
Dark cottons for fall were the
feature attraction of Mrs. Pree's
collection. These were shown in
one-piece dresses, dresses with
jackets, lightweight suits and
tunic ensembles. Members
modeled the fahions with many
of them trying out styles they
had never worn before when
Mrs. Pree urged the girls to try
something "different" when se
lecting dresses.
Mrs. Press also told the group
what happens at a buying mart
and the background of what hap
pens before clothes arrive in the
stores. She also answered ques
tions from members concerning
styles.
During the business meeting
members discussed plans for a
swimming party in August. Re
freshments were served by Mrs.
Charles Shepherd and Mrs. Tom
Reeder. Mrs. Bruce Cyphers was
hostess for the group.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Know the Butcher,
Says Food Expert
Boston (U.R) One expert in
the culinary arts says there is an
easy way for Mrs. Housewife to
insure herself a good cut of meat
at the market know the
butcher.
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.

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."
