What might the glance of the president of the "Lebanese Women's League" express, seated between His Excellency Prime Minister al-Solh and the Honorable Dr. Malik??
The director of "Dar al-Kitab" seizes the opportunity, while all eyes are turned toward the camera.
Prime Minister al-Solh dispenses a smile...
and receives smiles...
Awaiting the guests...
Mrs. Hortense Tamer and her husband, Mr. Philippe Tamer, gave in their sumptuous palace an elegant party in honor of Dr. Malik and his wife, gathering nearly five hundred persons from the highest circles of Beirut.
What caught the eye in Mr. Tamer's palace were the elegant furnishings that had been brought over from Paris.
The party lasted into the late hours of the night; the large gathering was the object of the warm hospitality of Mrs. Tamer and her husband, delighting in Dr. Malik's conversation and in the splendid atmosphere that Mrs. Hortense and her husband bestowed upon their honored guests.
