not yet been born, who does not know the meaning of malice or envy. He needs care and mercy, and he asks for life so that he may do his duty as an individual, or as a human being useful to his nation and his country. Otherwise... he will be a corrupt element, avenging himself on the nature that was cruel to him and seeing it embodied in his brother human beings, who denied him the blessing of life.

Woman's Day in Tripoli was a memorable day, for the women's organizations in Tripoli and the North issued invitations to a gathering at which the woman's cause would be presented, following the example of Beirut. The hall of the Roxy Cinema was packed with crowds, some supporting and some hesitant, and numerous delegations attended as well from Beirut, Sidon, Aley, and the North. After the gath-ering was opened with the Lebanese anthem, Mrs. Minerva Dammous, wife of Mr. Qaysar Ghorayeb, spoke words of welcome and thanks, presenting the woman's cause in general terms — on the view that woman has no cause: it is rather the cause of the man who refuses to acknowledge any right for woman. She then introduced the speakers. His Excellency the Minister of Justice, Mr. Rashid Karami, spoke, explaining the facts of the question together with the opinion of its supporters and its opponents, and said that it is today in the hands of the Chamber of Deputies, which is to have its say on it. The deputy Mr. Qabuli al-Dhawq spoke, and his opinion was frank, supporting women's rights completely. Then the literary Miss Najwa al-Sayyid spoke, attacking the selfish man who wants to keep dominion all to himself so that he may roam and frolic as he pleases with no one watching. After her spoke Mr.

Abdul-Hadi Shalak, who spoke with all his heart and all his feeling, demanding complete equality. Then the poet Mr. Salim Ghantus, president of the Bar of the North, after prefacing with a graceful pleasantry and a sweet jest, recited a poem that was approval through and through, and marveled that the lady's chauffeur, her gardener, her cook, and even her shoeshine boy should have the political right while it is withheld from her.

And so this gathering was success-ful to the farthest limits of success and good fortune.

Melvina Fayyad Trad

The town has lost her — a virtuous, noble woman. She served humanity for fifty years, in the societies of Zahrat al-Ihsan, the Saint George Hospital, and al-Shafaqa al-A'iliyya, remaining in her last society for 32 years.

She received the gilded Lebanese Order of Merit in reward for her charitable struggle.

And sorrow was deepened by the passing of her son-in-law, the late Jibrat Fayyad, on the day of her death. He was one of the pillars of the Society for the Aid of the Sick. They were buried in a single funeral. May God grant our ladies recompense with others like her.
