A LITTLE TALK ON THE WORD CHIC

HVERY now and then you see tho
NJ query, What Is chic? What does
-> 1t mean? How can become chic?"
The word IS French, not only as a
word but in many other ways. It's

the French would consider chic" would
not be our conception of it at all. AL
though the word is used a great deal
among the English speaking as we'll as
the French. the English-speakng peo-
pie, at least what I would call the
American people, know little Of the
word. The reason for this Is that they
have a dozen and one words that ex-
press their thoughts far more intelli-
gently to themselves and those to whom
they are talking than the word chic
Our pet words are Stunning" ''nobby,"
splendid style" well eroomed," even
the slang expression 'slick' or "tp-
top" There Is hardly a word men
toned but what, TO be deserved, must

each day that Is passed bringing you
nearer the goal
Next, study yourself, your face, your
physique, your lines, your poise. your
walk above all, and your voice. Re-
member that you are practically a piece
of machinery, and to be in smooth run
ming condition every part must be in
perfect order. Take, for instance, your
hair. Never mind the style Wear 1t

not that which suits some one else. And
above all, avoid extremes. Next take
your complexion. If you follow the
first requisite, together with wholesome
food, plenty of fruit and vegetables,
fresh air and sleep, you will be repaid
for your pains.
Study your walk. If you find that you
rock your hips, take exercises that will
put the muscles of your hips under
your control. They are not hard, but
simply require perseverance.
Pay particular attention to your cor
set, as this garment has much to do In
the way Of making or .marring a cos
tune. Your feet also demand much
attention, although I am glad to say
that the girls OF late are taking un-
usually good care of their feet and how
they look. Keep it UP, for you can't
believe how a shoe will add or detract.

things that count; for instance. the

Silk Coats

r ONG, to cover entirely the frock

- forming a part of the gown with
which they are worn, the summer coats
of silk are crying for the American
woman's favor. They have enjoyed the
sanction of the French for several
weeks, and are being exploited here with
much promise Of a successful adoption.
The silk Jacket built on eton lines is
approved by designers over here. The
Russian "coatees," with peplums and
ornamental belts, and the picturesque
directoire models. with big, soft revers
or shoulder capes, are also making
progress in the fashionable field. Little
wraps OF soft fringed silk. that are en-
larged scarfs, SO to speak. are also
approved Of by our importers.
Black satin coats trimmed with gold
or silver cords hint Of the days of Louis
XIV, while silk wraps that reflect
oriental splendor in their Japanese
colorings and lines are the favorites for
evening
