• The death of the great educator, Mr. Boulos al-Khouli, was a calamity for the high morals and noble humanity which that good and noble man embodied. Lebanon walked grieving and silent at the passing of this great humanitarian, who gave his whole life to learning and virtue.
The family of The Woman's Voice bows in reverence before the memory of the late Mr. Boulos al-Khouli, who embodied in himself every meaning of loftiness and nobility, and shares the affliction of his bereaved sons and his widow.
• A new branch of the Lebanese Red Cross has been founded in Halba, Akkar. The branch was inaugurated by the noble Lady Faiza, wife of His Excellency the
Prime Minister Riad Bey al-Solh, for whom a splendid reception was held.
• Among the society news of the month of May: the marriage of the literary young man Atef Bey Khodr to the refined woman of letters Jabinah, daughter of the zealous patriot Dr. Tawfiq Bey Hamadeh. The marriage ceremony took place at the home of Dr. Hamadeh among the friends of the two families, Khodr and Hamadeh, and the party was the very ornament of rejoicing. May God grant the bridal pair success and sustain them with a spirit from Him. Among the charming things offered at that party were verses by Dr. Habib Shehadeh, which pictured the couple's wedding most truthfully.
• Mrs. Louise Wegmann, head of the French Evangelical College for Girls — and the Count de Chayla pins upon her the decoration of the Legion of Honor in the rank of Chevalier, the most important decoration in France, in appreciation of her twenty years of service in the direction of this institute.
• The Women's Cooperation Club in Beirut is carrying out great works and services that help to lighten society's many woes; among these works is the service of the rising generation. A special committee has been formed to work in the schools, its task being to establish an association called 'the Helpers' Association,' whose aim is to help the young to attain full growth in mind, body, and spirit, and to study the girl's problems and her needs; and to fulfill the association's aim, lessons, studies, and lectures are being organized. The latest subject on which Miss Nahla Marwa spoke to the Helpers concerned prisons. After studying with them a good deal about the history of prisons and about crime and punishment, she decided to pay a visit to the Raml Prison, to observe at close hand the condition of the prisoners and to verify whether the prison in our country performs what is expected of it as a corrective and
reformatory institution. The reader will find her article in this issue.
• Some letters have arrived from various quarters, asking us to publish what we know of the question concerning 'masculinity and femininity' — some for scientific benefit and some for practical benefit. Since The Woman's Voice is a link between Mrs. 'Jabinah' and the readers, we have written to Mrs. 'Jabinah,' and as soon as her answer reaches us we shall be able to satisfy the request of those who ask, men and women alike.
