Lebanon's Legation

The Lebanese Legation in Washington celebrated the anniversary of independence. The Honorable Dr. Charles Malik and his wife, Mrs. Eva, invited the members of the diplomatic corps and the great political personalities who had been at the United Nations conference, and a high representative of the White House attended the party. The wife of the Honorable Dr. Malik succeeded in giving those present a splendid idea of Lebanon: she displayed the Lebanese flag in colors of red and white roses, with a green bouquet in the shape of a cedar at its heart. She also offered delicious varieties of Lebanese kebab, which the guests tasted with great relish.
