n1SCORDS in the song of love. Harsh words carelessly
uttered that have left two hearts bruised and heavy. Just
a meaningless quarrel, but yet sufficient TO bring young
love back to dull earth after walking amongst the staE.
Beauty has learned how swiftly the dark clouds Of mis-
understanding can obscure the golden sun that shdns over Loves
kingdom. But she has made up her mind thxt the first word to

lasting happiness, Beauty must abide by his decisions, when they

Love pleads for a chance to make life once more a golden
dream for his two young friends. His lifting voice sounds in
their hearts, and they see his smile through te~ardmmed eyes
Gently he tells them how easy It Is to destroy a lifetime of happi-
ness through the blow of singing words.
But somehow he knows that he will be victorious, that before
long the clouds will roll b. and reveal a world bathed in the

ness and suartness. Every woman has one spot
on her legs that makes the perfect place for her
skirts to end. Only she, or one experienced In
skirt lengths, can say just where that point is,
but every girl must find it.
The one great beauty advantage Of short
skirts was the suggestion of youth which they
impaired. More than one pair of slightly knocked
or bowed legs were forgiven because Of the
blessed illusion of youth that the wearer pre-
scented with her knee-length skirts. But longer
skirts, unless they are of the b~ouffsnt, touch-the-
floor type, make every woman seem a few years
