SALVADON DALI is a surrealist. He
paints fantastic pictwres, such as a
paintinu of a nude worn <n with a body
made of ha’f-opened bureau drawers. Daii
calls it "City ol Dreamers.*' His “Persist
ence of Memory'* combines limp, flabby
watches, dead trees, insects crawling by
the seaside. Such is the essence of "sur
realism," that form of art which has been
given so much space in recent newspa|>ers
and magazines.
Dali is a Spanish artist but Sara Pen
noyer is an American business woman.
Yet she. too. seeks everlastingly for new
ideas, undone things to do. effects to
startle the buying public into looking,
wondering, wanting and finally laying
down their hard-earned cash.
in a series of amazing windows along
Fifth Avenue, where some of the most
beautiful clothes in the (world are dis
played. Sara Pennoyer used one of Dali's
paintings end others of the some school
to rivet the attention bf the passerby on
her windows and vhat the shop had to
sell. Then she sa>le1 for Paris to study
the new collections to broadcast across
the ocean just how ’ong skirts will be.
how high, how low «->ur Eastern bonnet
should sit. and such -hings.
S YOU'VE judgea by now, Sara is
A quite American. **iergy Is her mid
dle name. But don’t be Jeceived. Energy
gets a big hand with A 'iericans, but an
American girl with ens-gy plus a plan
gets a big handful of tha. cold cash that's
said to be flowing more t’reely now
Plan? Yes—a long-tern plan—It began
when she was a kid in Philadelphia walk
ing through a departmert store hand in
hand with mama. The girl grew older.
College, of course. But she wanted to go
in business. . •
She concentrated on Journalism and
advertising at the university of Michigan.
In a few years she was out in the big
cold world working in offices where man
was lord and master.
Then came the dawn waited for since
those toddler days witfi mama. She got
the job. Yes, in a department store.
Success at last—she was a salep girl. A
married one
ON GOES the success story. Sales Girl
Pennoyer couldn’t be content with
what had been done. She worried the
future with questions, added up known
facts, drew conclusions, turned on the
energy—presto, she became Fashion Pro
motion Director for a New York depart
ment store
That seemed good enough to hold onto.
But her mind keeps lurching on and
to newer and more unheard of promotion
ideas. She has become a password for
the ambitious, a hope for the obscure.
Energy got her started. Energy can’t
lead straight, though. It took a plan and
a vision and a lot <>f courage. Courage
isn’t only for Sara. And plans hang on
every tree if you’ll stretch high enough
to snap them off.

Contrasting Colors Will Give Modem Room Dignity and Poise
RUSSEL WRIGHT, that intensively
American designer, has just created
a reed and metal bridge lamp which is
adjustable in a semicircle.
The finish of the metal parts is of a
rich brown surface, and the column and
the ehade are bound in natural reed.
The top of the shade is covered with an
eyeplate of metal, also finished in brown,
which keeps an ugly glare from beating
against the ceiling.
Beige and old ivory with a little deli
cate pink are combined with red mahog
any. a red velvet rug and cocoa silk to
produce the rich and comfortable library
living room shown here.
The walls are covered with stretched
cocoa-silk, the built-in bookcases are in
red mahogany and a portrait over the
mirror is in brown, wine red, flesh and
subtle pink The figurines are old ivory,
while the lamps, and the mantel are done
in a cooling flat white.
That large modern chair, deep, restful
and spacious, Is Jn heige. The total effect
of the rich colors contrasted with the
cooler tones is one ul poise, harmony and
dignity for the mod«rn lived-in American
home. '

THERE are some new window tricks
worth noting. Have you seen those
shades with washable and shower-proof
surface which are guaranteed not to crack
or crease? Or the interesting shades
which are accordion-pleated in Venetian
blind effect?
If you select Venetians, you will find
the new ones much lighter than before
and done in far sunnier colors. You can
purchase, ready to install, wooden cornices
painted or stained to harmonize with the
color scheme of your room. And if you
decide on the roller shade, you will find
the new ones with the outside surface in
green while the roomside surface is done
in damask, chintz, painted, or }n any ef
fect you can hope for.

Be Graceful!
YOU may think your face is your for
tune. but unless your spine is straight
and strong your beauty will pass rapidly.
That is the first secret of physical
poise.
Tell yourself .tnat your spine is made
of a long series of cups and saucers piled
one on top of the other. That little bit
of imagery will help you In your con
scious efforts to keep the spine straight,
to keep those imaginary cups and saucers
piled up without tumbling. When you
walk upstairs, do not oend forward, keep4,
the back erect; do voui climbing with
your feet and knees. You will be sur
prised how easy It is to w^lk upstairs
with the torso erect.
Remember this little fact, too. Between
your hands and the ooject on the floor
which you want to pick up, there are
your knees. Bend yo’ir knees, not your
back. Try It right now. Drop a hand
kerchief. and try to pick it up without
bending your spine. Ebay, isn't it! ‘
Now try the exercise of sitting down In
a chair without bending over like the
letter C. Keep that spin straight, lower
yourself Into that chair gracefully
Try these three practical exercises
right through your working day. Keep
them in mind and practice them at ail
times. Do them a few weeks and you
will slowly begin to leel more grace! ul.
