" YIBRANT youth that gazes out on the world with a calm, serene
W gaze Happy youth that laughs the hours away secure in
its beauty and appeal. Careless youth that frtters away
golden moments that never will return. Youth, the precious gem
OF life that so many Of US hold SO cheaply until we discover that
1t Is gone and no reward or effect can bring it back to u.s.
The gems of youth do not need a background Of costly fabrics
to enhance their charms. They do not need soft lights to capture
and send fortn their lustre and sparkle. But they do need guard
ing from Time, he who comes So silently ~a-treading and flches
his loot even as we watch. And 50, guard well the precious jewels
OF youth that you may make the most Of them.
Love Comes a-lding where youth beckons. And all the
precious diamonds, rubies and emeralds ever mined from the
dark recesses q reluctant earth were never as bright as the love
light that shines n young Beauty's eyes when she hears the call
Of youthful love, love eager and impetuous in the glory Of the
realization of life. Even though Beauty wear a simple little
frock. a little woody hat that barely covers her glstening curls,
she viii! never. never again look SO beautiful as she appeared in
the Springtme Of her love-. The years may bring wealth, wealth
that can buy precious gems and lovely clothes, but all these are
but dross compared to the jeweed splendor of youth.
