A "Card Party" for the Free Food Project

حفلة «كارد بارتي» لمشروع الغذاء المجاني

• The ladies in charge of the "Free Food" project, headed by Mrs. Alice Nakkash and Mrs. Carbonnier, gave a dancing "card party" at the Eden Roc on Tuesday, May 4. The party was under the patronage of His Excellency President Camille Chamoun and Madame his wife...

This party was a gathering of the aristocratic class of Beirut and a display of the elegances for which the women of this country are known.

It included a fashion show by Mrs. Juliette Silva, several ballet dances under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Stock, together with a show of "Carabi" fashions for children, and an elegance contest. Several prizes were distributed, and the party ran on past the time appointed for it, owing to the people's eagerness for dancing and the pleasantness of the air at the sea's shoulder.
