7 E Highlight before a girl loses her way?
Could that be the beacon ERELAS? Ere for before, plus (lass minus S).
I was really struggling to find a synonym for highlight that would work - thought the straight clue was the girl or possibly a way (like a mountain pass), although "loses" suggested way was part of the cryptic component. Didn't realise the beacons had names before I went looking for possible female names starting with "Ere."
