• One of the great Lebanese merchants of Lagos, Nigeria, Mr. Mohammad Said Mansour, has come to Lebanon to spend the summer season, accompanied by his wife and their children.

It is worth mentioning that the honored guest is one of the Lebanese notables of the Mahjar who are jealous for the mission of Arab thought and its diffusion in the world. He is the agent of the Egyptian Dar al-Hilal for all the countries of southern and eastern Africa, and the agent of our magazine in Nigeria.

"The Woman's Voice" extends to its agent and friend, and to his honored family, the warmest of welcomes; it wishes them a pleasant stay in the lands of the mother homeland, and seizes the opportunity of Mr. Mohammad Mansour's presence among us to offer him its sincere thanks for his concern with the magazine's affairs and his zeal for its interests in the Mahjar.

• The Children's Welfare Society — Hamra branch — gave its annual celebration to close its year's work; and behold, the guests found themselves in a refined, well-ordered atmosphere, gathering a choice company of sweet little ones who perfumed

the air with their soft chirping, amid innocent childhood songs, light dialogues and verses, and playlets delightful to hear and sweet in their effect. Those present marveled at a humanitarian institution in which perfection and care reach such a degree — as though the children who took part in the proceedings of the celebration came from refined circles and privileged surroundings! For they differed in nothing from the most advanced kindergartens, whether in beauty of diction, excellence of delivery, or fineness of acting...

Miss Diana Ghantous welcomed those present and spoke of the various stages the society has traversed in pursuit of the realization of its hopes.

She was followed by Mrs. Marie Siryani, who thanked those present for their share in offering material and moral assistance toward sustaining the projects of "Child Welfare," carrying its three schools to the highest possible level, and securing schooling and clothing for

400 children.

Of the society's aims she said: "They are the protection of Lebanese children in general; care and assistance for the small children who lack the necessities of life; and helping to give them the good upbringing that serves the good of our society, so that they may become working members, useful to their homeland."

It is worth mentioning that the members of Child Welfare, especially the president Mrs. Malaki Haik and Mrs. Marie Siryani, have never ceased to spend the precious and the cheap alike in the service of their society's schools; they let no favorable opportunity pass without seizing it, wherever seizing it holds good and benefit.

So The Woman's Voice, which appreciates in our striving women their activity, their selflessness, and their sincerity in work, offers the Children's Welfare Society, and the ladies in charge of its projects, its sincerest admiration and esteem.
