Mrs. Hartman Russell Defines the
Meaning of "Chic !" in Lively Sketch
The American "Chick"
Has High Commercial
Value, Writer Admits


Mrs. Hartman Russell,
daughter Of Mrs. Borden
Hartman, makes a page Of.
interesting reading in a cur
rent fashion magazine with
her article entitled "Chic,
A Defense"
The sketch is signed with
the initials, q. H.-those of
her maiden name, Ethel
Hartman. And in it one is
given: . delightful closeup
Of the evolution of this
notwithstanding word. "
Mrs. Russell says the
French, who have a faculty
for starting things, started
the use Of the word and
"they knew what they meant
when they said it."
Not Sure
American advertising writers
liked the sound Of the word and
began to apply it indiscrimin-
ately-frcm perfumes to auto
naobiles-aithough "they were
not so sure Of what they meant
when they said it.
Then the American sales girl
Joined in the gamethe latest
conaer-who was candidly ignor-
ant of ''what she meant when
she said it," but "chick" had an
awfully "cute" sound and also q
high commercial value. She
found that often it was the
''straw whieh broke q sale"
Like This
On Mrs. Russell's authority We
have this:
"To us, chic means having the
sense of the picture.' A chic per-
son is one who responds to her
background 1--WE use the posses
sive her, because some possessive
has to be selected and chic is
Ilsu.-....y associated with the fen1i-
.line), one whose sensibilities con-
stantly provide her with a clear
mental picture of herself silhou-
cited against this background.
She relates herself to the colors,
masses, lines. design, and underly-
ing feeling Of the particular pic
ture in which she lives and rioves.
She is not self-conscious in
gauche sense, but conscious of self
in a sophisticated sense, aware of
herself as an integral part of the
modern whole.
"such a person is an artist of
externals; she reveals her sense
of picture or chic, not only in the
color harmonies Tor contrasts) and
lines Of her clothes, but also. in her
walk, in the shape of her finger
nails, in the way she handles
teacup or smokes 3 cigarette.
'"The possession Of such a sense
would be enough to render it's
owner acutely miserable If, for
example, she were forced to aps
pear on the Lido beach in a dark
blue serge travelling suit or at
polo match In q pastel, tinted lace
ensemble! This quality is the
cause Of it's possessor's fitting into
her surroundings, not always os-
tentatiously, as Is suggested by re-
port, but naturally. easily, aid
with the sort Of detailed perfection
which comes from good taste-the
taste that takes account Of both
common sense and artistic sense.
Chic is an outcome Of the two,
Joined to modern ideas Of suit
ability and modern spirit"

Mrs. Russell is now travelling in
Europe and will not return to this
country until the end Of August.

Although firemen experienced one
Of the busiest periods in the history

ended June 30, total damages
caused by all fires in the District
decreased, Fire Chief George s.
Watson declared in his annual
report submitted to the District
Commissioners today.
During the year the fire depart

compared with 3,7O4 in the preced-
ing year. Despite this, the fire
loss amounted to 81 ,0S8, 500, de-
crease of $12.355 over last year,
Watson pointed out.
Greatest damage was done by
fires during the months of Novem-
ber, January and February. The
fire losses in these three months
amounted to $S92 1922. In each of
the other months fire damage did
not exceed $4,000.
A major portion of the fire loss
during January was contributed by
the blaze at Dulin and Martin 8
on r Street between Twelfth and
Thirteenth Streets. Damage done
by that fire was estimated at
$361 1892.
other large fires which swelled
the damage total were in st.
