maid does the tidying and the household tasks.

Q — Do you face any difficulty in carrying on this work of yours? A — No, because all my work is arranged and ordered. All my pupils go as I wish, because they began their lessons with me. And had I not found delight in teaching, I would not have kept on with my work.

Q — Are you fortunate in your married life and your working life? A — Praise and thanks be to God; my husband prospers greatly, and my children trouble me only on their holidays, because my work is continuous and I must work while they are at home.

And many do not know that Mrs. Shayboub, the editor-in-chief of this magazine, is the mother of two children. With all her many labors at the broadcasting station and the magazine, and her lessons last year, she does not overlook even her children's birthdays.

presidency at the appointed time. Our whole work rests upon the shoulders of the people; we spend 1,100 lira a month, all of it gathered from donations, for all our patients are in a pitiable state of grinding poverty. We now have four dispensaries, in which, during my presidency — that is, over a period of three years — we have treated no fewer than 21,520 patients; and we dispense the medicine each patient needs from a pharmacy attached to each dispensary. Our great hope is to increase the number of our dispensaries.
