O~RILEY Hairstylist and Cosmetologist * Qur world has -placed such a ~premium on chic that few wo~men can be truly charming about it. You may like it or not, the fact remains. When is a woman chic? Just what do we mean when -we say a woman looks chic? That she is dressed That she looks as though she spent her life at the dressmakers? That she is carefully coifed with never a hair out of place? Not by any means! Chic must not appear studied. It. must look as though it had just happened. Spend as much time as yon need to in front of your mirror, but never, never look as though you had! Glance at the word itself ~chic~ is a French word which we have taken over because we have never found its equivalent -in our own language. Fashion magazines have tried for years to ifind a substitute for this much used monosyllable. They~ve even ~offered prizes for*a suitable Eng lish version, but without success. What do we mean what ~do the French mean, when they say chic? A woman who dresses | well? Yes. and a great deal, more. A woman who knows her type and intensifies it; a wowho means clothes that dramatize her good points and conceal her faults; a woman who is never overdressed and never too conscious of her clothes. Yes, al of these, even more~a woman with a certain verve and spirit and dash. Yes, a woh.an with charm! For ~chic~ is certainly the visual aspect of charm. MORE THAN ETIQUETTE No one book on charm can cover all of the manifold aspects) of human ~relations. But we must include a few of the every day occurrences that make us' known for our consideration ~or the lack of it. aver! How are your telephone manners?~ Keep one picture before you.
