touches their poetic standing.
• The Lebanese Women's Union, presided over by Mrs. Evelyne Bustros, has continued its meetings with the Women's Solidarity, presided over by Mrs. Laure Tabet, until the two parties came at last to the drawing up of a constitution, under which the new organization has been named "the League of Women's Organizations in Lebanon."
• Here is happy news we bring to our little children: the reopening of the "Juveniles' Club," Sadat Street, Ras Beirut. This club, which the little ones love, had suspended its work for a spell of time for purely material reasons; and here it is today returning to its former activity, believing more firmly than ever in the educational mission to which it has vowed itself.
This "Juveniles' Club" is a project of the Committee for the Recreation of Juveniles, attached to the Lebanese Society for Public Health. It is a modern building equipped with all manner of arts of entertainment and profit, such as cinema, reading, singing, dancing, acting, and various athletic games.
Its hours are, for Monday and Tuesday, from 4 to 6 in the afternoon, and for the remaining days, Sunday excepted, from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. The children have been divided into three groups according to their ages. As for the subscription, it is as follows:
50 Lebanese piasters, daily subscription 300 Lebanese piasters, monthly subscription 2,500 Lebanese piasters, yearly subscription 1,000 from January 31 to June 30 And there is a special discount for brothers and sisters...
So "The Woman's Voice" honors the zeal of the Committee for the Recreation of Juveniles, headed by Mrs. Edma Shakhashiri, and wishes this club every flourishing and progress, that it may fill a great gap in the life of our rising generation.
• During the past month the
marriage was concluded of Dr. Munir Salman to Miss May Khalil Alameddine, and a week before it the bridegroom's brother, Dr. Kamal Salman, was married to Miss Asma Abdul-Malik.
So "The Woman's Voice" raises its warmest congratulations to the twin brothers and to the families of Salman, Alameddine, and Abdul-Malik, wishing that all their days may remain in the flower of the wedding feast, and that their married life may be completed with blessed fruit.
• Then in Homs, on the evening of Saturday, February 14, was concluded the betrothal of the young engineer Adib Kama to the charming Miss Suad Mawwash, daughter of the great merchant George Mawwash — this at the
house of the bride-to-be's grandfather, Mr. Daoud Mawwash.
Miss Suad is one of the students of the graduating class at the American Girls' College, Beirut... The betrothal gathered a large company of family and friends.
So the magazine "The Woman's Voice" wishes the betrothed pair the fullness of joy and happiness, that this gladness welling up from the depths may remain for their tender youth and for all who shelter within it.
• In the first days of the current month the Mar Elias Orphanage gave its annual entertainment under the patronage of the wife of His Excellency the President of
the Republic, Mrs. Zalfa Chamoun. The entertainment was the height of simplicity and taste, comprising some theatrical scenes and charming songs which the children performed with full mastery under the supervision of the directress, Miss Ramza Karaoglan.
Worthy of mention is that this orphanage was founded by Mrs. Hortense Tamer, who still watches over it with her care and her tenderness, makes up its financial deficit, and lavishes compassion on its children, to make good to them their loss of parental tenderness. It was therefore a pleasant surprise when the First Lady of Lebanon decorated Mrs. Hortense Tamer with the Lebanese Order of Merit, in recognition of her good works and her humanitarian services to unfortunate childhood.

At the luncheon were Doctors Jamal Karam Harfush, Zahia Kaddoura, and Salwa Nassar, and Mesdames Widad Maqdisi Cortas and Edvick Jureidini Shayboub. The discussion turned upon the date of the conference, upon which institutions would be invited
