Miss Salma Abd al-Rahim Diab, as she appeared at the Lebanese Red Cross gala, in the contest of old Lebanese fashions organized by this magazine together with the Commissariat of Tourism and Summering.

Her dress is called "al-Istanbuli"; it is her grandmother's dress, and a marvel of splendor and beauty of workmanship.

And Miss Diab, in this costume, is surpassingly lovely and charming!!
