Her Ladyship the First Lady of Lebanon, in her capacity as president of the Lebanese Red Cross, has received a letter from the Hungarian Red Cross Society in Budapest appealing to Her Ladyship to supply that institu-tion with clothing and shoes, whether old or new.

We have learned that Her Ladyship the First Lady of Lebanon has charged the gracious lady, wife of the notable Jacques Bey Tabet, with carrying out this humanitarian task. So let everyone who wishes to take a share in this charitable work send whatever his soul freely gives to Mrs. Tabet.

The Central Advisory Committee on Housing includes two British ladies, one of them a member of Parliament. This committee has been formed and is in close touch with Britain's efforts to rebuild the houses that were demolished or damaged during the war. The two ladies are Jennie Lee, member of Parliament, and Emily Murray. The first, besides being a member of Parliament, is the wife of Mr. Aneurin Bevan, the British Minister of Health. She has spent years studying the problems of housing reconstruction, and made the first of her journeys abroad fifteen years ago, to learn what direction house-building had taken in Austria. As for Emily Murray, she is a director of one of the great British building companies.

This young woman registered a new conquest in the history of music by taking part in the concert held a few days ago, for she was the first girl to mount the podium mounted before her by the greatest orchestra conductors in the whole world.

Miss Sharp says that the future is rich in promise for women orchestra conductors, as it is rich for the other women who work in the various other fields of activity.

Miss Sharp loves animals, and her hobby is writing stories about them; she hopes one day to write a book about her cat Rusty.

• Mrs. Clarissa Blass, general secretary of the national body for the adoption of children, deserves thanks for what she has accomplished over seventeen years of work, the result of which is that some four thousand of Britain's orphaned children have found what makes up to them the loss of their fathers and mothers.

Mrs. Blass considers that adoption, in itself, means sheltering the child in a home that knows how to raise him in the right way, so that he may grow into a good citizen.

About a hundred letters reach her daily from husbands and wives who wish to adopt children. Mrs. Blass has great experience in everything connected with questions of adoption — and no wonder, for she is a grandmother.
