Owe pleads in vain, but Beauty will not heed. Alas, it is
3niy TOO oftsn that the gentle voice, Of Love is but as a
- 1alnt. whisper before the throbbing call of the world with all
~ fame' luxury and wealth and the material joys that offer
more IN the anticipation than in fulfllment. For all these are
ephemeral unless they are the tribute Of true Love that finds its
happiness in unselhsh giving.
Beauty does not believe that there can be joy and happiness
IN SIMPLE things. That a tiny home built by Love holds more
true LONELINESS and radiance than does a mansion where indifer-
ence Is master. Beauty does not know that luxury can pail, that
magntlcence can become monotonous, that there comes a time
when simplicity holds more allure than do all the gems that have
dazzled her with their miragehke briLiance. But Love knows all
this. His voice is tender, pcrsuasive-perhaps Beauty win hear.

the awkward stage which SO often must be
lived through when changes are being wrought
In the world of fashion and beauty.
In writing about collars and cuffs today, I'm
trying to anticipate some Of your beauty troubles.
These new collars and cuffs are most bewitch-
ing, and unless we all restrain our natural i'm
pulses I'm afraid we're going to undo some of
the splendid beauty progress we've made.
The most important thing to realize about
collars Is that the same neckline principles apply
now as those that were true when our frocks
were collarless.
The round-faced girl has definitely proven
to herself that she looks nicer when her neck
lines follow the deep oval or v lines and the
girl who has q very long or thin face knows that
rounded necklines offset the ~longness or thinness.
