GIRLS, you know there is such
thing as talking too much. |
know you have heard the jokes
about women's tongues so often you
think the subject is only a joke. But
l have found that most jokes have
some foundation in fact. especially
when they are as popular as the

ISN'T it sad that so many of At

their mustaches grow just when
the edict has gone forth from no less
an authority than Harry Lehr that
the mustache must go? Harry openly
declared while he was at Newport
this summer that mustaches were
outre, and long ones simply impossI-
bic.
Anyway, it seemed that long ones
were impossible-to Atlantans-even
before Harry said so, for l do not

he heard of the edict, and then again
he may have become discoura ged. But
most Atlanta men seem to frown upon
