Women's Events in a Month
Continued from page 9

a monthly women's magazine — though she is the mother of three children... And Mrs. Diya

graduated from the universities of America after four years of study, during which she specialized in sociology. She tells us that dozens of Indonesian girls are studying today in the universities of America as she studied. Then she spoke to us of the women's renaissance in her country, saying that it is the only country in Asia where the two sexes mingle on the school benches from the primary grades onward; as for the Muslim woman, she has, as Mrs. Diya says, won complete equality with man before the law.

taking the world championship in the women's parachuting competitions, she went on to beat all the men who entered the contest...

Beauty Queens

The choosing of beauty queens has become a prevailing fashion. While in nearly every one of Lebanon's summer resorts the election of a beauty queen took place — to say nothing of queens of elegance and the like...

And while a contest was held in Istanbul to elect the beauty

queen of Europe for 1953 — the fairest beauties of France, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Monte Carlo, and Holland took part in the contest, and Italy won — we see the United Nations finding time enough to elect a beauty queen of its own: last year, from among forty-seven beautiful girls, it elected a Lebanese young lady who took the title of Beauty Queen of the United Nations, Miss Renée Melhem, who arrived in Lebanon lately...
