WAR ATMOSPHERE
ART IN WINDOW DRESSING
Art is not confined to galleries nor to walls, notes a London journalist. A new art which no wartime depression has been able to kill, not even the sandbags of the early months, the black-out of the remaining ones, is the art of dressing out the windows of the great London shops. Behind the display of merchandise, which is probably (and rightly) the thing on which a woman fixes her eyes, is a long story of inspiration, of plans to make her feel gayer, more inspirited, more interested in the world around her. of charming effects, plans to draw her eye exactly where the windowdresser would have her focus it. She should at one and the same time carry away the picture of the merchandise, its price, colour and cut. and also be left with a feeling that something particularly gay and pleasant has happened to her.
