The Tahdhib al-Fatat Society's Dance

حفلة جمعية تهذيب الفتاة الراقصة

* The evening event of the week in the Lebanese capital was the grand ball held by the Tahdhib al-Fatat Society — Beirut branch, presided over by Mrs. Zahia Saad — at the International Club, under the patronage of the Prime Minister, Sami Bey al-Solh.

The "Tahdhib al-Fatat" party was distinguished by Lebanese elegance, which showed in the slender figures at elegance's amplest — simplicity and art. What helped the party's success was the merry atmosphere the members shed over the ballroom and the surpassing care with which they surrounded their guests, which tempted the dancing men and women to prolong the dancing until a late hour of the night.

It was understood from an informed source that the party's proceeds came to several thousand liras, to be spent on the education of needy girls in whom the conditions of intelligence and good conduct are fulfilled.
