Mrs. Asia Wahba, President of the Iraqi Women's Union, in Lebanon

السيدة آسيا وهبه رئيسة الاتحاد النسائي العراقي في لبنان

Accompanying the members of the Iraqi delegation that came to Lebanon to congratulate President Camille Chamoun were Mrs. Asia Wahba, president of the Iraqi Women's Union, and her husband, His Excellency Mr. Tawfiq Wahba, the scholar and statesman. No sooner had the president of the General Arab Women's Union, Miss Ibtihaj Kaddoura, and her companions the members of the bureau heard of their presence than they hastened to fete and honor them. The shortness of their visit prevented the Lebanese Women's Union from inviting her, to make her acquaintance and honor her in a general way.

She therefore contented herself with inviting them to luncheon at the Hotel Bristol, in a charming party confined to the president of the General Arab Women's Union and the members of the bureau, and Mrs. Salwa Moumina, vice-president of the Lebanese Women's Union. The gracious visitor and her worthy husband promised to pay Lebanon a long visit next summer.
