to talk of Lebanon in Lebanon. Mrs. Chamoun said, frankly and sincerely, that she prefers no country over it, and that we can make of it a beautiful earthly paradise. Then she expressed her readiness to take part in all of that. It is she who is founding a project for the comfort and aid of the blind; and a number of emigrants have donated toward the building of a shelter for these blind, to keep them from stumbling and guard them from the evil of want and dispersion. Mrs. Zalfa mentioned that their number in Lebanon is large, and that only a few of them work and earn their modest living.
Mrs. Chamoun spoke truly. In Lebanon there are mighty possibilities that must be made to grow, and in Lebanon there are hands which, if they work, will give as Madame Perón and Vargas and their colleagues gave before them...
Late last month, death carried off Mrs. Melia Jirji al-Bahmadouni, mother of Mr. Elias Qalfat and Miss Hanina. Her passing found a painful echo among her family and acquaintances, and her body was borne to its final resting place amid tears and sorrow.
The Woman's Voice extends its condolences to her son, Mr. Elias Qalfat, and to his sister, Miss Hanina, and to the Qalfat and Bahmadouni families at large, praying that the departed may find mercy and the wide expanses of Paradise.
Has This Ever Happened to You? — Milo (MILO)
Has this ever happened to you?
Her children are about to drive her mad
— I'm so worn out, and my housework, all this running back and forth — it's just too much!
— I know, that's the tiredness of the winter months. Now listen to me...
— That's enough! Get away from here...
— Laure, why is this happening to me?
— Take Milo, my dear — it's very nourishing, it brings back your energy and lets you sleep.
A week later:
— My health is coming back to me! My house doesn't wear me out anymore, and now they bring me a tin of Milo every day — I take it first thing in the morning — and I swear by my children's lives, it's all joy and frolic!

Who could this beauty in her old Lebanese costume be but Mrs. Laure Tabet, president of the League of Women's Organizations in Lebanon! Are these her grandmother's clothes, or her grandmother's mother's? And who knows — she may win a prize if she appears on the day of the Red Cross fête on August 15 looking just as she does now!
